Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

Aberdeena publishes articles about health, wellness, nutrition, fitness, mental health, and traditional wellness at aberdeenacademia.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information is handled when you browse the Site or email us.

The public Site has no visitor accounts or sign-in. It does not currently offer comments, newsletter subscriptions, contact forms, or online purchases. The Site uses the Google tag for Google Ads measurement. It does not currently display Google AdSense ads or use a Google Analytics property.

2. Information we handle

• Website requests: When you open a page, the server receives your IP address and the page requested so it can return the page. Your browser may also send browser and referring-page information. Hosting systems may keep access or error logs.
• Google Ads measurement: The Google tag may send Google information such as the page URL, referring page, IP address, browser or device information, and advertising or ad-click identifiers. Google may set or read cookies and similar technologies, including first-party conversion cookies, to associate an ad interaction with activity on the Site and measure advertising results.
• Email: If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. Please avoid sending sensitive health or financial information by email.

You do not need to provide your name or email address to read the public articles.

3. Why we use information

We use the limited information described above to:

• make the Site available and keep it working;
• diagnose technical problems using any available server logs; and
• measure and attribute visits or conversions associated with our Google Ads; and
• reply when you choose to email us.

We do not use the Google tag to make automated decisions about access to the Site. Google may process information according to its own settings, policies, and applicable law.

4. Cookies and browser storage

If you have previously switched between light and dark mode, the Site may have saved your choice in this browser's local storage under the name theme. This is not a cookie. You can clear it in your browser settings.

The Google Ads tag may set or read cookies and similar technologies for advertising measurement. These may include a unique identifier or information about the ad click that brought you to the Site. Cookie availability and duration depend on Google's services, your browser settings, and applicable choices. The Site does not set login cookies for public visitors.

You can clear the theme preference and cookies in your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may reduce the accuracy of advertising measurement.

5. Service providers and external content

The service that hosts the Site may process request information to deliver pages. If you email us, your email provider and ours process that message. Google processes information collected through the Google tag to provide and measure its advertising services, protect against fraud and abuse, and for other purposes described in its policies. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Articles may also link to other websites or load images from external hosts; those providers may receive your IP address and other standard request information. Their own privacy policies apply to their services. We do not sell personal information.

6. Retention and security

Your theme preference (if set) remains in your browser until you clear it. The Site does not store email messages or Google Ads measurement records in its own database. We may view advertising and conversion reports in Google Ads. Email messages are handled by email services, access or error logs may be kept by hosting systems, and Google handles information collected through its tag. Their retention periods are governed by their settings and policies. You can email us to ask about information we hold or request deletion.

No website or email service can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices and rights

You can browse without emailing us, clear the Site's browser storage, and use your browser controls to block or delete cookies. You can also manage Google advertising choices in Google My Ad Center. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or request a copy of it. You may also be able to object to certain processing or raise a concern with your local data protection authority.

Send requests to [email protected]. We will respond as required by applicable law.
