Privacy Policy

Happy Wellness Today (“Happy Wellness Today,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit happywellnesstoday.com and any related pages we operate (the “Site”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who we are

Happy Wellness Today is a digital editorial publication focused on wellness, food, movement, hydration, and rest. We are the “data controller” responsible for personal information collected through the Site. You can reach us at [email protected].

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Newsletter and contact details — if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us, we collect your email address and any information you choose to include in your message.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information, including:

• Device and usage data — IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, links clicked, and the dates and times of your visits.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small data files and pixels stored on your device, as described in Section 3.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, and we do not ask you to disclose health conditions to read the Site.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and local storage to operate the Site, understand how it is used, and support advertising. These technologies generally fall into three groups:

• Strictly necessary — required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (for example, Google Analytics).
• Advertising — used by us and our partners to measure and deliver relevant advertising, including on third-party platforms (for example, the Meta Pixel and Google Ads).

You can control cookies through your browser settings and through the opt-out tools described in Section 4. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

4. Analytics, advertising, and remarketing

We work with third-party analytics and advertising partners, including Google and Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram), who use cookies and pixels to help us measure performance and show you relevant ads on their platforms and across the web. This may include remarketing — showing you Happy Wellness Today ads after you have visited the Site.

Google

We may use Google Analytics and Google Ads, including Google’s advertising features such as remarketing and audience reporting. Google uses cookies (including first-party cookies such as the Google Analytics cookie and third-party cookies) to serve ads based on your prior visits to the Site and other sites. You can:

• Control the ads Google shows you through Google My Ad Center.
• Opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Review how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Meta (Facebook and Instagram)

We may use the Meta Pixel and related tools to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to deliver ads to you on Meta’s platforms. You can manage how Meta uses your data for ads through your Facebook Ad Preferences and Instagram settings.

Industry opt-outs

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating companies through:

• The Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info
• The Network Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org
• In the EEA/UK, youronlinechoices.eu

Opting out does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to you.

5. How we use your information

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
• Send our newsletter and respond to your messages.
• Understand and improve how the Site is used.
• Measure, deliver, and improve advertising, including on Google and Meta.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

Where required by law, we rely on your consent for analytics and advertising cookies, on our legitimate interests to run and improve the Site, and on your consent or our contract with you to send communications you request.

6. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as follows:

• Service providers — hosting, email delivery, and analytics vendors who process data on our behalf.
• Advertising partners — such as Google and Meta, in connection with the measurement and delivery of advertising as described above.
• Legal and safety — when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Happy Wellness Today, our users, or others.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Certain sharing of data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under some laws. See Section 8 for your choices.

7. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe.

8. Your privacy rights and choices

Everyone. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in each email, adjust cookies in your browser, and use the advertising opt-outs in Section 4.

EEA and UK (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal information, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know, access, correct, and delete the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information and of targeted advertising. To exercise the right to opt out, adjust the advertising controls in Section 4 or email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

To make any request, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

9. International data transfers

We are based in the United States and may process your information in the United States and other countries whose data-protection laws differ from those in your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

10. Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site where appropriate.
