Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy sets out how MenopauseStage gathers, uses and discloses information in connection with this website. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to MenopauseStage.

There are links from this website to other websites. This policy applies only to this site, and not to any website operated by others.

1. Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not request or store personal health information.

Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical data (“usage data”). This may include IP address, approximate geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referring source, pages viewed and length of visit. Usage data is processed to keep the site running securely and to understand which pages are useful. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in operating and improving the website.

2. Interactive tools on this site

Some pages include interactive tools, such as the menopause stage check. Answers you enter into those tools are processed entirely within your own browser. They are not transmitted to us, not stored, and not shared with anyone. Closing or reloading the page discards them.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small data files placed on your device by a website. You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being set; if you refuse them, parts of the site may not function as intended.

4. Analytics

We may use analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to identify individual visitors.

5. Advertising

This site may display advertising supplied by third-party networks, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising through Google’s Ads Settings, or disable cookies in your browser.

6. Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through such a link we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Commercial arrangements never determine our editorial conclusions, and any page containing affiliate links will disclose that it does.

7. Providing information to others

We do not sell or rent information about visitors to this website. We may disclose information to service providers to the extent reasonably necessary to operate the site, and where disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to protect the safety of an individual, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Information may be transferred to a successor in interest if the site or its assets are acquired by another party.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical measures to protect information handled by this website, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all traffic. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Access, correction and deletion

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data held about you. Requests may be submitted using the contact details below.

11. Amendments

We may update this policy from time to time by publishing a revised version on this website. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above.

12. Contact
