Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026. This policy explains what information TheHealingBlog collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
TheHealingBlog is an educational content website. We collect only the information you choose to give us, plus limited technical data needed to operate the site:
- Contact details you submit through our contact form, such as your name, email address, subject and message.
- Your email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, along with the date of subscription.
- Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, approximate region and pages visited, collected in aggregate.
We do not ask for, and you should not send us, medical records, diagnoses, treatment details or other sensitive health information.
2. How we use your information
- To reply to enquiries and feedback you send us.
- To send our weekly newsletter to subscribers who have opted in.
- To understand which articles are useful so we can improve our content.
- To protect the website against abuse, spam and security threats.
We never sell, rent or trade your personal information.
3. Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of essential cookies to keep the website working and privacy- respecting analytics to measure aggregate traffic. Analytics data is not used to build advertising profiles. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will continue to function.
4. Sharing with service providers
We share data only with the providers required to run the site — such as our web host and email delivery service — and only to the extent needed to perform that service. These providers are contractually required to protect your information. We may also disclose information where legally obliged to do so.
5. Data retention
Contact form messages are retained for up to 24 months. Newsletter subscriber details are retained until you unsubscribe, after which your email address is removed from our active mailing list within 30 days.
6. Your rights and choices
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your information.
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in every email or our unsubscribe page.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@thehealingblog.com.
7. Security
We use encrypted connections and restrict internal access to personal information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we review our practices regularly and act promptly on any issue we identify.
8. Children's privacy
Our content is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes and contact
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law, and will revise the date at the top of this page. Questions can be sent to info@thehealingblog.com or by post to 9757 Willow Way, Floor 19, Portland, United States.
