At Health and Balance, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect when you visit healthandbalance.blog, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the terms described here. This policy was last updated on 7 November 2026.
Who we are
Health and Balance is a personal blog that shares articles and tips on healthy eating, fitness, nutrition, and everyday wellbeing. Our website address is https://healthandbalance.blog. If you ever have a question about anything on this page, you can reach us at contact@healthandbalance.blog.
Information we collect
Most of our content can be read without sharing any personal details. We only collect information in a few specific situations:
- When you leave a comment: we collect the name, email address, and any details you type into the comment form, along with your IP address and browser information to help us spot spam.
- When you contact us: if you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply.
- Automatically, as you browse: like most websites, we and our service providers collect basic technical data such as your browser type, device, and the pages you visit. This helps us understand what readers find useful.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help a website remember things about your visit. We use cookies to keep the site working smoothly, to remember your comment details if you leave one, and to understand how the site is used. Advertising and analytics partners may also set their own cookies, as described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some features may not work as well afterwards.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party ad networks may place and read these cookies, and we do not have access to or control over cookies used by advertisers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any advertisers for more detail on their practices.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to see how visitors use our website. These tools collect anonymous information like the number of visitors, which pages are most popular, and how long people stay. This helps us improve our content. The data is reported in aggregate and does not identify you personally.
Log files
Like many websites, our host keeps standard log files. These may record your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time of your visit, and referring pages. This information is used to analyse trends and keep the site secure, and is not linked to anything personally identifiable.
Third-party links and services
Our articles sometimes link to other websites. Once you leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. Please read their own privacy policies before sharing any information with them.
Children’s information
Protecting the privacy of children is important to us. Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Your rights and choices
If you have left a comment, you can ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. We will honour reasonable requests, except where we are required to keep certain information for legal or security reasons. You can also control cookies and ad personalisation using the browser settings and opt-out links mentioned above.
Your consent
By using our website, you consent to this Privacy Policy. We may update it from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page, so please check back occasionally.
