Our website is Insure Your Health Yourself
Information We Collect
We collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate the website, communicate with visitors, manage subscriptions, understand how the site is being used and protect the site from spam and abuse.
Depending on how you use the website, this may include your name, email address, information you submit through a form or comment, technical information about your browser or device, and information about how you interact with the website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information entered in the comment form, along with technical information such as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized version of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. If your comment is approved, a Gravatar profile image associated with your email address may be visible with your comment.
Comments and their associated metadata may be retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and managed appropriately.
Newsletter and Free Mini Book
If you subscribe to our newsletter or request the free mini book, we collect the email address and any other information you voluntarily provide through the subscription form.
We use Brevo to manage our subscriber list and send email communications. Information submitted through our subscription forms may therefore be transferred to and processed by Brevo on our behalf.
We use this information only to provide the material you requested and to send communications you have agreed to receive.
You can unsubscribe from our email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails.
Contact Forms
If you contact us through a form on the website, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and message.
We use that information to respond to your inquiry and for any reasonable follow-up related to your request. Contact information submitted for an inquiry is not automatically added to our newsletter list unless you separately choose to subscribe.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to help us understand how visitors find and use the website.
Analytics information may include pages viewed, approximate geographic information, browser and device information, traffic sources and interactions with the website.
Google Analytics 4 uses IP addresses during collection to determine general location information and then discards them before that information is logged in Analytics. Google Help
Analytics information is used to understand site performance and improve the website. Google provides controls governing retention and use of Analytics information. Google Help
Spam and Security Protection
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on certain forms to help distinguish legitimate visitors from automated bots and reduce spam and abuse.
Turnstile performs security checks in the visitor’s browser and generates a temporary verification token that is validated to determine whether a form submission should be accepted. Cloudflare Docs
Information processed through Turnstile is subject to Cloudflare’s applicable privacy terms and Turnstile privacy provisions.
