12. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

HealthReviewHQ does not currently sell personal information for money.

We also do not currently use personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising or targeted advertising based on activity across unrelated websites.

Some privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” differently. Where an applicable law provides a relevant right, requests will be evaluated according to that law and our actual data practices.

If these practices change, this Policy will be updated and legally required choices will be provided.

13. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention is determined by considering:

  • The nature of the information
  • The purpose for collecting it
  • Whether a request remains open
  • Security and abuse-prevention needs
  • Legal, accounting, or recordkeeping requirements
  • The retention settings of our service providers
  • The need to establish or defend legal claims

Contact messages may be retained while reasonably necessary to respond, document the communication, prevent abuse, or resolve a dispute.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymized, or retained in aggregated form.

Backup copies and server logs may remain for a limited period until they are overwritten or deleted through normal system processes.

14. International Processing

HealthReviewHQ is accessible internationally. Our hosting, analytics, email, and technical providers may process information in countries other than the country where a visitor lives.

Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the visitor’s local laws. Where required, appropriate contractual, technical, or organizational safeguards may be used.

By using the website, visitors understand that internet-based services commonly involve processing across multiple jurisdictions, subject to applicable legal requirements.

15. Your Privacy Rights

  • Request confirmation that personal information is being processed
  • Request access to certain personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion in qualifying circumstances
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Object to certain processing
  • Withdraw consent
  • Request portability of qualifying information
  • Opt out of qualifying sales, sharing, or targeted advertising
  • Lodge a complaint with an appropriate privacy authority
  • Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right

These rights are not absolute. They may not apply in every jurisdiction or situation, and legal exceptions may permit or require us to retain or continue processing certain information.

For example, we may retain information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Protect security or prevent fraud
  • Maintain evidence of a request
  • Exercise freedom of expression
  • Establish or defend legal claims
  • Protect the rights of another person

Nothing in this Policy grants rights beyond those provided by applicable law.

Please include:

  • Your name
  • The email address previously used to contact us
  • Your country or jurisdiction
  • A clear description of the request
  • Sufficient information to locate the relevant record

17. Children’s Privacy

HealthReviewHQ is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Where local law establishes a higher minimum age, that requirement applies.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has submitted personal information, they may contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate action where identity and authority can reasonably be verified.

18. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, misuse, or loss.

However:

  • No internet transmission is completely secure
  • No storage system is guaranteed to be error-free
  • No website can guarantee prevention of every cyberattack
  • Visitors submit information through the internet at their own risk

If we become aware of a data incident requiring notification under applicable law, we will take legally required steps.

19. Third-Party Websites

HealthReviewHQ may link to manufacturers, research publications, government resources, retailers, affiliate partners, and other websites.

We do not control and are not responsible for:

  • Their privacy practices
  • Their security
  • Their cookies or tracking
  • Their data accuracy
  • Their availability
  • Their terms or business practices

A link does not mean that HealthReviewHQ controls or assumes responsibility for the linked website.

20. Automated Decision-Making

HealthReviewHQ does not currently use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning visitors.

Website analytics may produce aggregated statistics, but those statistics are not used to make legally significant decisions about individual visitors.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, technology, providers, legal requirements, or information practices change.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, changes become effective when posted.

It does not create:

  • A contractual relationship with a visitor
  • A fiduciary, medical, advisory, or professional duty
  • Rights beyond those provided by applicable law
  • A guarantee that the website will always be available or error-free

Nothing in this section limits any right that cannot legally be waived or restricted.

23. Applicable Law

Privacy rights and obligations may differ between jurisdictions. Where a provision of this Policy conflicts with a mandatory applicable law, that law will control only to the extent of the conflict.

The invalidity of one provision does not necessarily affect the remaining provisions.
