This Privacy Notice explains what personal information VitaHarmony 24 (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit vitaharmony24.com or subscribe to our newsletter, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. It forms part of our Terms of Use and should be read together with our Cookie Notice.
We run a static publication. Necessary storage keeps the site and your privacy choices working. Optional analytics and advertising technologies — which may include the Meta Pixel and UTMify — load only after you consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time from “Cookie settings” in the footer. We do not sell your personal information, and we never ask for your health details.
1. Who we are
VitaHarmony 24 is an independent wellness publication for adult readers. For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, we act as the controller of the personal information described in this notice. Contact details are in section 18.
2. Information we collect
We keep collection deliberately small. We do not operate user accounts, comment threads, or reader profiles, and we never ask you for health, medical, or diagnostic information.
| Category | What it includes | How we get it |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription data | The email address you enter, and the date and status of your subscription. | Directly from you, when you submit the newsletter form. |
| Correspondence | Your email address and the content of any message you send us. | Directly from you, when you write to us. |
| Technical data | IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, requested pages, and timestamps, recorded in standard server logs by our hosting provider. | Automatically, as part of delivering and securing the site. |
| Consent data | Your cookie preferences and the time they were recorded, stored locally in your browser. | Automatically, when you make a choice in our cookie settings. |
| Campaign and attribution data | Campaign parameters in the link you arrived on (such as UTM values or a click identifier) and, where applicable, an event identifier for a page view or subscription. | Automatically, from the link you clicked — and, through optional tools, only after you consent. |
| Measurement data | Pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser characteristics, and interactions such as submitting the newsletter form. | Through optional analytics and advertising technologies, only after you consent. |
We do not knowingly collect government identifiers, payment-card details, precise geolocation, or biometric data through this site.
3. Advertising and measurement technologies
We promote this publication through paid advertising. To understand which campaigns bring readers who find our work useful, we may use industry-standard measurement and attribution technologies. These are optional, are described in detail in our Cookie Notice, and are blocked until you consent.
- Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms). If enabled and consented to, this tool records page views and defined actions (such as subscribing) and associates them with Meta’s advertising system so that campaign performance can be measured and audiences built. It typically uses cookies such as
_fbpand reads a click identifier (fbclid) from the link you arrived on. Meta processes this data as an independent or joint controller under its own terms and Privacy Policy. You can review and adjust your Meta ad settings in your Meta account. - UTMify. If enabled and consented to, this attribution platform reads the campaign parameters in the link you arrived on and records the resulting event so that a subscription or conversion can be attributed to the correct campaign. It processes this data on our behalf as a processor under our instructions.
- Other analytics or advertising tools. If we later add a tool such as a web-analytics platform or an additional advertising pixel, it will be added to the table in our Cookie Notice and placed in the same consent category before it is allowed to run.
We configure these tools to measure engagement with a general wellness publication. We do not use them to build health profiles, we do not transmit health information, diagnoses, or symptoms to any advertising platform, and we do not use special-category or sensitive personal data for advertising.
4. How we use information
- To deliver the newsletter you asked for and to send related service messages, such as confirming or ending a subscription.
- To operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website, including protecting it from abuse, spam, and fraud.
- To understand in aggregate which articles readers find useful, so we can decide what to publish next.
- To measure the performance of our advertising and attribute subscriptions to the campaign that produced them, where you have consented.
- To respond to your messages and to handle privacy requests.
- To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We do not use your personal information to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you through automated processing alone.
5. Legal bases for processing
Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Sending the newsletter you requested | Consent (Article 6(1)(a)), withdrawable at any time. |
| Optional analytics and advertising technologies | Consent (Article 6(1)(a)), collected before the technology loads. |
| Operating and securing the site; necessary storage | Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) in running a safe, functional publication. |
| Recording and honouring your privacy choices | Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) and legitimate interests. |
| Responding to enquiries and handling legal claims | Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) and legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)). |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have considered the impact on you and concluded that our interest does not override your rights. You may object at any time (see section 11).
6. Who we share information with
We do not share your personal information except with the categories of recipient below, and only as needed for the purposes described above.
- Hosting and content delivery providers, which process technical data to serve and protect the site.
- Form and email service providers, which process your subscription so we can deliver the newsletter.
- Analytics and advertising providers, such as those named in section 3, where you have consented.
- Professional advisers, such as lawyers or accountants, where necessary and under a duty of confidentiality.
- Authorities or other parties, where we are legally required to disclose information, or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or those of others.
- A successor entity, if the publication is merged, acquired, or transferred, in which case this notice will continue to apply to the transferred information until it is replaced.
Our processors act on our documented instructions under written agreements. Advertising platforms such as Meta may act as independent or joint controllers for their own purposes, governed by their own policies.
7. We do not sell your information
We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not knowingly disclose personal information about anyone under 16 for cross-context behavioural advertising. Note that under some US state laws, the definition of “sale” or “sharing” is broad enough to cover the use of advertising cookies for cross-context behavioural advertising. Where such technologies are enabled on this site, they run only with your consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer — which functions as our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism.
8. How long we keep information
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Newsletter subscription | Until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, plus a short suppression record so we do not email you again in error. |
| Correspondence | Normally up to 24 months after the matter is closed, or longer where needed for a legal claim. |
| Server logs | Short retention periods set by our hosting provider, typically measured in days or weeks. |
| Consent record | Stored in your browser for up to 180 days, after which we ask again. |
| Advertising and analytics data | Retained by the relevant provider under its own retention schedule; for Meta cookies this is typically up to 90 days from the last update. |
9. International transfers
We and our providers operate internationally, and your information may be processed in the United States or other countries whose data-protection laws differ from those where you live. Where personal information is transferred out of the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we rely on an appropriate safeguard, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK Addendum where relevant) or a valid adequacy decision or certification. You may request further information about the safeguards in place using the contact details in section 18.
10. How we protect information
The site is served over HTTPS, is published as static files, and stores no reader database of its own. We apply security headers, limit access to the small amount of data we hold, and work with established providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send us sensitive or health information by email.
11. Your privacy rights
Subject to the law that applies to you, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we hold about you and obtain a copy of it.
- Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Delete your information, subject to exceptions such as legal-retention duties.
- Withdraw consent at any time, including cookie consent and newsletter consent, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.
- Object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interests, and to opt out of targeted advertising.
- Receive your information in a portable, machine-readable format.
- Be free from discrimination for exercising any of these rights.
- Appeal a decision we make about your request, and lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
How to exercise them. Email privacy@vitaharmony24.com and tell us what you would like us to do. To protect you, we may ask you to verify control of the email address concerned; we will not ask for more information than we need. We respond within the period the applicable law requires — generally one month under the GDPR and 45 days under US state laws, each extendable where permitted. An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorisation. There is no charge unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
For cookie choices specifically, the quickest route is the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page.
12. EEA, UK and Swiss residents
You have the rights set out in Chapter III of the GDPR, as summarised above. If you believe we have not handled your information properly, we would like the chance to put it right — but you are also entitled to lodge a complaint with your national data-protection authority, with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, or with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, as applicable.
13. US state privacy rights
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you have the rights described in section 11, including the right to access, correct, and delete personal information, to opt out of targeted advertising and of any “sale” or “sharing”, and to appeal our decision on a request.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, the categories of personal information we have collected in the past twelve months are identifiers (such as email address and IP address), internet or network activity information, and inferences drawn only in aggregate for editorial planning. We collect these for the business purposes described in section 4, from the sources in section 2, and disclose them to the categories of recipient in section 6. We do not collect sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics, and we do not sell personal information for money. To exercise the right to limit sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising, use “Cookie settings” in the footer or email us. California residents may also request the information described in the “Shine the Light” law; we do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes.
14. Brazil (LGPD)
If you are in Brazil, you have the rights granted by the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, including confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymisation or deletion of unnecessary data, portability, information about with whom we share data, and the right to withdraw consent. Requests may be sent to privacy@vitaharmony24.com, and you may also petition the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados.
15. Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16, and the newsletter is not available to children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
16. A note on health information
We are a publisher, not a healthcare provider. We are not a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA, and we do not create, receive, or maintain protected health information. We never ask you to disclose symptoms, diagnoses, medications, or test results, and you should not send them to us. Reading an article about a wellness topic does not tell us anything about your health, and we do not use the subject matter of the pages you read to infer a health condition or to target advertising on that basis.
17. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as the site or its providers change. When we make a material change, we will publish the revised notice on this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent again. The version identifier beside this notice tells you which edition you are reading.
18. How to contact us
Privacy requests and questions: privacy@vitaharmony24.com. General enquiries: hello@vitaharmony24.com. Legal correspondence: legal@vitaharmony24.com. We aim to acknowledge every privacy request promptly and to resolve it within the statutory period.
