Privacy Policy & Data Protection
Last Updated: October 2026
1. Information We Collect
Preventative Wellness operates with minimal data collection principles. We collect standard server access logs (IP addresses, user agent strings, and request timestamps) to diagnose performance bottlenecks and defend against automated attacks. When you choose to submit a query via our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we securely retain only the contact details you provide.
2. Health Data & Protected Health Information (PHI)
We do not collect, request, or store Protected Health Information (PHI). We strongly advise users never to submit unencrypted personal medical records, confidential lab results, or sensitive diagnostic histories through open web forms. Any incidental health notes submitted in correspondence are immediately purged upon request.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
We utilize browser local storage (localStorage) strictly to preserve your visual theme preference (Light or Dark mode). We do not utilize invasive cross-site behavioral tracking beacons or sell browsing histories to advertising networks.
4. Third-Party Links & Scientific Citations
Our articles contain hyperlinks to primary medical databases (such as PubMed, NCBI, CDC, and Cochrane Library). We are not responsible for the privacy practices, tracking technologies, or terms of third-party domains.
