Privacy Policy

Standard privacy and data collection policy: zero tracking pixels, minimal edge telemetry, and user data rights.

Vital4Living ("we," "us," or "our") respects your digital privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we handle data across vital4living.com, outlining our minimal data collection practices, our security protocols, and your statutory privacy rights under GDPR and CCPA.

Executive Summary

  • No mandatory user registration is required to read guides or run our diagnostic calculators.
  • We do not run third-party programmatic ad networks or behavioral retargeting pixels (no Facebook Pixel, no ad trackers).
  • Calculators run entirely client-side; your anatomical measurements and equipment inputs are not stored in database profiles.
  • Standard server telemetry is collected solely for security, DDoS protection, and cache routing.

1. Information We Collect

Direct Inquiries: When you contact us via email (info@vital4living.com), we collect your email address and message contents solely to process and respond to your communication.

Automated Edge Telemetry: When you access Vital4Living, our edge hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs standard network metadata: IP address, user agent string, referring URL, and timestamp. This data is collected to detect malicious traffic, mitigate automated attacks, and ensure system uptime.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

Functional Preferences: We use local browser storage strictly for essential user interface preferences, such as preserving your theme selection (dark/light mode) and temporary calculator inputs during your active session.

Affiliate Network Cookies: When you click outbound commercial links to our merchant partners (such as OpticsPlanet, Suunto, Merino Tech, or A Sight For Sport Eyes via the Awin network), a tracking cookie may be set on the merchant's domain to attribute qualifying referrals. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective merchant's privacy policies.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

  • Cloudflare: Provides edge DNS resolution, CDN caching, SSL encryption, and web application firewall (WAF) services.
  • Ghost Foundation: Open-source CMS platform hosting the publishing backend.
  • Search Engines: Google and Bing receive our sitemap for organic search indexation.

4. Data Retention and Security

We retain correspondence only as long as necessary to address your inquiry. We employ TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit across vital4living.com.

5. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Regardless of location, Vital4Living extends universal privacy rights:

  • Right of Access & Portability: Request a copy of any personal data we hold associated with your email address.
  • Right to Rectification & Erasure: Request the correction or immediate permanent deletion of your contact records.
  • Non-Discrimination: We never restrict access to content or calculators based on your privacy choices.

To submit a verified data request, email info@vital4living.com with the subject line "Data Privacy Request". We fulfill verified requests within 30 calendar days.

6. Policy Updates

Any revisions to this privacy policy will be posted on this page with an updated timestamp.
