At Warm Balance, we respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we handle your information as a content blog focused on simple wellness tips.
This Privacy Policy explains our practices in plain English. We update it occasionally to reflect changes, so please check back periodically. It applies to visitors to www.warmbalance.com.
Information We Collect
We collect two main types of information: Personal Information and other data that may not identify you directly but could under some privacy laws.
Personal Information includes details you provide voluntarily, such as your name or email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us via email, or leave a comment on our blog.
This might also include online identifiers like IP addresses or device IDs if linked to your identity through your actions on our site.
- Email address for newsletter sign-ups
- Name and message content from contact forms
- Comment details including username if you post
Other information, often called Non-Personal Information, includes browser type, pages visited, time spent on site, and referral sources. In simple terms: We only ask for personal details when you choose to engage, like signing up for tips.
These non-identifying details help us improve the site but are not tied to individuals unless combined with personal data.
How We Collect Information
We gather data in a few straightforward ways to keep our blog running smoothly for readers seeking easy wellness routines.
You provide it directly when filling out forms for newsletters or contacting us. We also collect automatically via server logs and tools like Google Analytics during your visits.
- Form submissions (e.g., newsletter opt-in)
- Automatic logs (e.g., IP address, browser data)
- Interactions (e.g., pages viewed, time on site)
In simple terms: Most collection happens passively as you browse, with active input only when you reach out.
How We Use Information
We use your information to deliver the content you expect, like sending wellness habit tips via newsletter if you subscribe.
This includes personalizing your experience, such as remembering newsletter preferences, and analyzing site usage to refine articles on sleep or stress relief.
We may also use it to respond to your emails or comments, improving our beginner-friendly advice based on feedback. In simple terms: Your data helps us create better, calmer content without overwhelming you.
We never share personal details for marketing outside our services.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help our site function and track basic usage. We use essential cookies for site navigation and analytics cookies from Google Analytics to understand visitor patterns.
These typically do not include details like your name or email but may hold online identifiers for preferences or aggregated insights. Analytics cookies help us see which sleep tips resonate most without identifying individuals.
- Essential: Enable core features like menu toggles
- Analytics: Measure traffic and popular posts
You can manage preferences through your browser settings, which often let you block or delete cookies. For Google Analytics specifics, visit their opt-out page.
In simple terms: Cookies make the site smoother; you control them anytime via your browser.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display relevant ads on our blog, supporting free access to wellness routines. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies like DoubleClick for ad personalization based on your past site visits.
These advertising cookies enable tailored suggestions but are managed by those providers. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers; ads rely on anonymized or identifier-based data.
- Google AdSense for contextual ads
- DoubleClick cookies for interest-based serving
- Cross-site personalization by third parties
Our partners may track across sites for better relevance, but we do not run our own cross-site tracking. Adjust settings in Google Ads Preferences Manager or your browser to limit this.
In simple terms: Ads help keep content free; third parties handle their own tracking tools.
Legal Basis and Your Rights
For EU users under GDPR, we rely on legitimate interests like site improvement, consent for newsletters, and providing requested services such as email replies.
California residents under CCPA have rights to request access to or deletion of their personal information and may opt out of any sale or sharing where applicable. We do not sell personal information.
- Access: See what data we hold
- Deletion: Request removal when possible
- Opt-out: No sales occur, but confirm via contact
To exercise rights, email us (details below); we’ll respond reasonably. Everyone can unsubscribe from emails anytime via links provided.
In simple terms: You control your data—ask to see, delete, or stop communications easily.
Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for its purpose, like retaining newsletter emails until you unsubscribe, then deleting promptly.
Logs and analytics data are held for a limited period to analyze trends, then anonymized or removed. No fixed timelines; it depends on need.
For security, we use reasonable safeguards like secure servers, access controls, and encryption for sensitive transmissions. These help protect against unauthorized access but are not foolproof.
- Encryption for form data in transit
- Restricted server access
- Regular software updates
We monitor for issues but cannot guarantee against all risks. In simple terms: Data stays short-term, secured practically.
Children’s Privacy
Our site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
If we learn of such data, we delete it quickly. Parents should monitor kids’ online activity.
Third-Party Links Disclaimer
Our blog may link to external sites for deeper wellness resources, but we do not control their privacy practices.
Review those sites’ policies separately. We are not responsible for their data handling.
