Privacy Policy

01Scope of This Policy

This policy explains how personal information is handled across waysofwell.com, including the pages that hold the reading, the contact form and the account forms.

Using the site means accepting the practices set out below. Anyone who does not agree with them should stop using the site.

02Information Provided Directly

Some details are only held because a visitor chooses to type them in.

• Name entered on the contact form or the account form.
• Email address used to write in or to open an account.
• Phone number supplied during account creation.
• The subject line and message text sent through the contact form.
• Communication preferences selected on the account form.

03Information Collected Automatically

Ordinary technical details are recorded whenever a page loads, in the same way they are on most websites.

• Browser type, device type and operating system.
• Approximate location derived from network address.
• Pages opened, time spent on them and the page that led there.
• Dates and times of visits.

04Cookies and Similar Technology

Small files may be stored by the browser to keep the site working smoothly, remember choices between visits and understand which reading is opened most often.

Cookies can be blocked or cleared through browser settings. Doing so is allowed at any point, though parts of the site may behave differently afterwards.

05How Information Is Used

Details are used for a short list of purposes and nothing beyond them.

• Replying to a message sent through the contact form.
• Creating and maintaining an account.
• Sending service messages such as confirmations and account notices.
• Sending optional updates where that permission has been given.
• Keeping the site secure and diagnosing technical faults.
• Understanding which topics are read most, so the next pages are useful.

06Text Message Permissions

Text messages are only sent where a visitor has ticked the matching permission on the account form. Service messages and promotional messages are handled as separate choices.

Replying STOP to any message ends further texts of that kind. Replying HELP returns support information. Standard message and data rates may apply, and frequency may vary.

07Sharing With Service Providers

Some routine work depends on outside providers, such as hosting, email delivery and analytics. Those providers only receive what they need to perform that work and are expected to protect it.

Information may also be shared where the law requires it, where it is needed to protect the rights or safety of visitors, or as part of a transfer of the site to a new operator.

08Retention Periods

Personal details are kept only while there is a reason to hold them. Contact form messages are retained long enough to handle the request and to keep a record of correspondence.

Account details are held while the account remains open. Technical logs are held for a limited period and then cleared.

09Security Measures

Reasonable technical and organisational steps are used to protect the details held, including restricted access and encrypted transfer of form submissions.

No method of transmitting information over the internet is completely secure, so absolute protection cannot be promised.

10Choices Available

Several controls sit with the visitor rather than the site.

• Ask for a copy of the personal details held.
• Ask for a correction where something recorded is wrong.
• Ask for deletion of an account and the details attached to it.
• Withdraw permission for optional messages at any time.
• Object to certain uses of the details held.

11Children and This Site

The site is written for adults. Accounts are not intended for anyone under eighteen, and details are not knowingly collected from children.

Where it becomes clear that a child has supplied personal details, those details are removed.

12Links to Other Sites

Some pages link outwards to reference material. Those destinations run under their own policies, and this document does not extend to them.

Reading the privacy notice on any site before entering details there is always worth the minute it takes.

13Health Information Disclaimer

Nothing published on this site is personal medical advice, a diagnosis or a treatment plan. The reading is general in nature and written for everyday situations.

Anything persistent, painful or sudden belongs with a qualified professional who can look at the full picture.

14Changes to This Policy

This document may be revised as the site develops or as legal requirements shift. The revised version replaces the previous one from the moment it is published.

Checking back occasionally is the simplest way to stay current with how details are handled.

15Contact About Privacy

Questions about this document can be sent using the details published on the site.
