Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what information Calmer Ears (calmerears.com, "we," "us") collects when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. We try to collect as little information as possible.
In short: we keep basic visit statistics, we do not use third-party trackers or advertising cookies, we do not sell or share your personal information, and you do not need an account to use the site.
Information we collect when you visit
When you visit a page, our server records basic technical information for statistics and security purposes:
- the page you visited and the date and time of the visit;
- your IP address;
- your browser's user agent (information about your browser, device type, and operating system);
- the referrer, meaning the page or website that linked you to us, if your browser shares it.
We use this information to understand which pages are read, to keep the site working, and to detect abuse, spam, and automated traffic.
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to read and respond to you, and to fix errors you report.
What we do not collect
- We do not offer user accounts or logins.
- We do not run a newsletter or mailing list.
- We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or social media tracking tools.
- We do not knowingly collect sensitive health information. Please do not send us personal medical details by email.
Cookies
Calmer Ears does not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising. If the site ever uses a cookie, it will be only a strictly necessary one needed for the site to function or stay secure. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
How long we keep information
Visit statistics, including IP addresses, are kept for up to 180 days and then deleted. Emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and to keep a reasonable record of corrections and requests.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may share limited information only:
- with service providers that host and operate the website or our email, who process it on our behalf;
- if required by law, or to protect the safety and security of the site and its users.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, privacy laws in the United States, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended, may give you rights over your personal information. We extend the following rights to all visitors, wherever they live:
- Right to know: ask what personal information we have about you and how we use it.
- Right to delete: ask us to delete personal information we hold about you.
- Right to correct: ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Right to opt out of sale or sharing: we do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of today.
- Right to non-discrimination: we will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.
To make a request, email [email protected]. Because we do not have accounts, we may ask for details such as the approximate date and time of your visit or your IP address to locate records. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we keep, including encrypted connections (HTTPS). No website can guarantee complete security.
Links to other websites
Our articles may link to other websites, such as government or research sources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy, for example if we add advertising, new features, or new services in the future. If we do, we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect.
