2. What Data We Collect, Why We Collect It, and Our Legal Grounds
| Category | Purpose | Legal basis* |
| Communication Data | Respond to you, maintain records, resolve disputes | Legitimate interests (efficient communication & record‑keeping) |
| Subscriber Data | Send newsletters & updates you requested | Consent (CASL, CAN‑SPAM) |
| User Data | Operate and secure the Site (including storing commenter IP addresses for anti‑spam); measure performance | Legitimate interests (site operation & security); implied consent (PIPEDA s.5(3)) |
| Marketing & Tracking Data | Serve relevant ads, measure campaigns, grow our business | Consent / Legitimate interests; right to opt‑out (CPRA §1798.120) |
| Aggregated Statistics | Understand audience and share non‑identifying insights | Not personal data |
GDPR/UK GDPR note: For visitors in the EU or UK, our lawful bases are consent (Art. 6 (1)(a)), legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1)(f)), and, where applicable, legal obligation (Art. 6 (1)(c)).
We do not collect payment information because we do not sell products or services directly through the Site.
3. How We Collect Your Data
We gather data when you:
- Submit information directly (e.g., forms, comments, newsletter opt‑ins).
- Browse the Site, where automated tools (GA4, server logs, pixels) capture technical data (IP address, browser type, language, and the date & time of each visitor request). Server logs, which include IP addresses, are retained only for security diagnostics, are not linked to any user profile, and are analysed only in aggregate or pseudonymised form for traffic insights.
- Interact with our emails, where Bento tracks opens and link clicks.
- Arrive via ads or third‑party referrals that pass anonymised identifiers to us.
For details on cookies and similar technologies, please see our separate Cookie Policy.
4. Marketing Communications
We send marketing emails only if you have opted in or as otherwise permitted by CASL and CAN‑SPAM. Every email includes an unsubscribe and preferences link. You may also:
- Email us at [email protected] to opt out or make any privacy request; or
- Send a written request to our postal address listed above.
5. Disclosures of Your Personal Data
We share data only when necessary:
- Service providers – trusted third‑party vendors that provide hosting, content delivery, analytics, advertising, and email services. They process data solely on our instructions and under strict confidentiality obligations.
- Affiliate programmes – clicking an affiliate link places a cookie so partners can attribute any purchase; we never receive your payment details.
- Legal or safety reasons – to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights.
- Business transfers – if we restructure or sell, data may transfer under the same privacy commitments.
We do not sell personal information for money and honour opt‑out signals for cross‑context behavioural advertising.
6. International Transfers
We are located in Canada—a jurisdiction deemed “adequate” by the EU Commission for personal‑data protection. When we transfer data to the U.S. or other countries (e.g., to Google or Meta), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or your consent to ensure an equivalent level of protection (GDPR Chap. V).
7. Data Security
We secure the Site with SSL encryption (HTTPS) and a managed server‑level firewall. Access to the back‑end is limited to authorised personnel, and core software and plugins are kept up to date. No online system is completely secure, so you provide information at your own risk.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law, then delete or anonymise it.
9. Your Legal Rights
Below is a quick overview of the privacy options available to you. To use any of them, simply email [email protected] (we may need to verify your identity):
- Access / Know – Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold.
- Correction – Request that we fix inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion – Ask us to erase your data (subject to legal exceptions).
- Portability – Receive your data in a machine‑readable file.
- Withdraw Consent / Opt‑out – Unsubscribe from emails or object to certain processing, including targeted ads.
- Non‑discrimination – Exercise your rights without penalty.
- Limit Sensitive Info – Restrict use of any sensitive data (we don’t normally collect it).
- Complain – Contact your privacy regulator at any time; we welcome a direct email first.
We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests, we may need more time and will keep you informed of any delay.
10. Links to External Sites
Our Site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their privacy notices before providing information.
11. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, preferences, and advertising. Full details and opt‑out instructions are available in our Cookie Policy.
12. Affiliate Disclosure
We use affiliate links throughout the Site and may earn a commission if you purchase through those links. This comes at no additional cost to you. For more details, please see our standalone Affiliate Disclaimer page.
13. Remarketing
We use remarketing services to advertise on third‑party websites (including Google, Microsoft/Bing, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Pinterest, and YouTube) to people who have previously visited our Site. This means you might see an ad from us if, for example, you viewed a comparison article but did not sign up for the newsletter.
- How it works: Each platform places a small cookie or pixel in your browser that records your visit. Later, when you browse other sites or apps in that platform’s ad network—Google Search, the Google Display Network, Facebook news feed, Bing search results, Pinterest feed, YouTube videos, etc.—our ads may appear.
- What data is shared: The cookie/pixel contains an anonymised ID and no personally identifying details such as your name or email. It simply lets the platform know that “a browser that visited healthmatreview.com” is eligible for our ads.
- How data is used: Any information collected is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy and each platform’s own privacy terms. We use the aggregated reports (e.g., ad impressions, clicks) to measure campaign effectiveness and improve our content.
- Your choices: You can control or opt out of interest‑based advertising:
- Google – Ad Settings or the Google Analytics Opt‑out Browser Add‑on.
- Microsoft – Advertising Preferences.
- Meta (Facebook/Instagram) – Ad Preferences in your account settings.
- Pinterest – Personalization settings in your profile.
- All platforms – Use industry tools like the Network Advertising Initiative or adjust your browser’s cookie settings.
Opting out removes you from future remarketing lists but won’t stop generic (non‑personalised) ads.
14. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it. (COPPA 15 U.S.C. §6502).
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this notice periodically. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified by email. Continued use of the Site means you accept the revised notice.
