5. Advertising, Product Links and Affiliate Tracking

Health Essential publishes articles, product comparisons, reviews and promotional content. We are affiliated with certain brands featured on our website, including Freddie, and may receive compensation when visitors purchase through certain links.

When you follow a product or advertising link:

  • We and our partners may record the click, referral source, campaign identifier and related technical information.

  • Referral or click identifiers may be passed to the destination website.

  • The destination website or an attribution provider may report a subsequent purchase or other conversion.

This information helps measure campaign performance and determine referral compensation.

When you visit another website, its privacy policy applies to the information it collects. This includes information you submit when placing an order, subscribing or contacting that website. This Privacy Policy does not replace the privacy policies of Freddie or other linked websites.

Some recipients process information on our behalf. Others, including certain advertising providers and destination websites, process information for their own purposes under their own privacy policies.

7. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Cookies and advertising preferences

You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality and may not prevent processing that does not depend on cookies.

Where available, you can also manage optional technologies through our website’s cookie or privacy settings.

Advertising preferences can be managed through the relevant provider:

Google: https://myadcenter.google.com/

Meta: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/

Microsoft: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/

Opting out of personalised advertising does not necessarily stop advertisements from appearing. Choices may apply only to the browser, device or account used.

Email communications

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting hello@health-essentials.co.

We may still send non-promotional communications needed to respond to your requests or address legal or security matters.

Access, correction, deletion and other rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Access personal information we hold about you.

  • Request correction or deletion.

  • Receive a portable copy of your information.

  • Object to or restrict certain processing.

  • Withdraw consent without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.

  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or its use for targeted advertising.

  • Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.

  • Complain to a relevant privacy regulator.

To submit a request, email hello@health-essentials.co with enough information for us to understand it.

We may need to verify your identity or an authorised agent’s authority before completing a request. We will respond within the period required by applicable law and will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Additional information for United States residents

Disclosure of online identifiers and browsing activity to advertising partners may constitute a “sale,” “sharing” or processing for targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws, even where no money is exchanged for the information.

Where applicable, you may request an opt-out by emailing hello@health-essentials.co with the subject “Privacy Opt-Out.”

Applicable law may also require recognition of browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to enquiries, managing communications, measuring campaigns, maintaining security and meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods depend on the type of information, its purpose and applicable legal or contractual requirements. Cookies and information held by third-party providers may have separate retention periods.

9. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

No website, transmission method or storage system can guarantee complete security. Please avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communications.

10. International Processing

Our service providers and partners may store or process personal information outside your country, including in the United States and other countries where they operate.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, those transfers must be supported by an appropriate mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual protections.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 16.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
