Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Stonespring Health Reviewsis an editorial publication that reviews pelvic-health products. The site is operated by the founder (the “operator”) and a small editorial team. References to “we,” “us,” or “our” in this policy refer to the operator of Stonespring Health Reviews.

For privacy-specific questions — including requests to access, correct, or delete your information — please use the contact details listed in Section 9 below.

2. Information we collect

We collect a small amount of information, and only what we need to run the site and respond to your requests:

• Information you send us. If you write to us, submit a product for review, sign up for a newsletter, or otherwise contact us, we retain the contents of your message and any contact details you provide (typically just your email address).
• Server logs. Like nearly every site on the web, our hosting provider records each request to our pages: a timestamp, the URL requested, your IP address (truncated in some logs), the browser and device you used, and the referring page.
• Cookies and analytics. We use a small number of cookies (described in Section 5) and may use a privacy- respecting analytics tool to measure aggregate traffic. We do not sell your data, and we do not run advertising trackers.
• Affiliate referrals. When you click an outbound link to a retailer, that retailer receives the URL you came from; they may set their own cookies on your device and use them under their own privacy policy, not ours.

3. How we use the information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, secure, and improve the site.
• Respond to messages and product submissions you send us.
• Send periodic editorial emails (only to readers who opted in) and remember your newsletter preferences.
• Measure aggregate, non-personal traffic trends.
• Comply with applicable law and enforce our terms.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not sell your data to third parties.

4. Legal bases (EEA / UK readers)

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a comparable jurisdiction, we process your information under the following legal bases under the GDPR: consent (for non-essential cookies and marketing email), contract (where responding to a request you make to us is the contract), and legitimate interests (to operate and secure the site and prevent abuse), with your fundamental rights and freedoms overriding those interests where applicable.

5. Cookies

We use a minimal set of cookies: a session cookie to keep the site functional, a preference cookie to remember your theme (light/dark) and any dismissable banners, and (if analytics is enabled) a first-party analytics cookie. We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or fingerprinting. You can clear cookies in your browser at any time; some site preferences will reset as a result.

6. Third-party services (seam)

Listed below are the third-party services that may receive a reader’s information while Stonespring Health Reviews is in use. The list reflects the platform services in place at the time of writing and is a deliberate gap for the founder to confirm:

Each vendor above processes reader data under their own privacy policy. We choose vendors that publish a public privacy commitment and, where available, offer region-appropriate data residency.

7. Data retention (seam)

We keep reader information only as long as we have a reason to. The exact windows vary by data category and are a deliberate gap for the founder to confirm:

When retention elapses, the data is deleted or fully anonymized so it can no longer be associated with an individual reader.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: request access to the information we hold about you, request that we correct inaccurate information, request that we delete information (subject to our legal-record-keeping duties), object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where we rely on it, and lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority in your jurisdiction. To exercise any of these rights, please write to us at the address in Section 9.

California residents: under the CCPA/CPRA, you also have the right to know what categories of personal information we have collected about you in the past twelve months, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We have not sold or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Contact for privacy requests (seam)

The contact details for privacy requests (access, deletion, correction) are a deliberate gap for the founder. Once confirmed, requests are acknowledged within five business days and fulfilled within thirty calendar days, unless an extension is required by law:

10. Children’s privacy

Stonespring Health Reviews is intended for adult readers and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we change the “Effective date” at the top, and — for material changes — we will note the change on the home page and, where reasonable, email subscribed readers. The current version always lives at this URL.
