Privacy policy

This policy explains what information we collect when you use professionalhealthforum.org and what we do with it. If anything is unclear, email us at [email protected].

What we collect

• Newsletter sign-ups. If you join our newsletter or request free printables, we collect your email address and, if you give it, your first name. This is handled by our email provider, Kit (kit.com). Kit stores your details and sends our emails. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
• Contact emails. If you email us, we keep your message and address so we can reply.
• Author applications. If you apply to write for us, we use the details you send, including your professional registration details, only to verify you and manage your application.
• Usage data. We may use an analytics service, such as Google Analytics, to understand how the site is used, for example which pages are read. It may collect information such as your approximate location, device and browser through cookies or similar technologies. We use it to improve the site.

How we use information

We use your information to send the emails you asked for, reply to you, verify authors, keep the site working and improve it. We do not sell your personal information.

Advertising

We may show advertising in the future, for example through Google AdSense. If we do, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google's ad settings. Advertising will always be labelled and will not influence our articles. We will update this policy before any advertising starts.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Our analytics and advertising partners, if enabled, may set them. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may then not work as intended.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, such as Kit for email and our hosting provider, Cloudflare, or where the law requires it.

You may ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Email us and we will respond promptly.
