1. Who we are
bloodflowing.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes The Circulation Research Digest, an educational website and email newsletter about circulation and vascular health research. This policy explains what personal information we collect through bloodflowing.com and the digest, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are based in Baldwin County, Alabama, USA.
Short version: we collect as little as we can, we don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t want your health information. You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data at any time.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Digest sign-up: your email address and, optionally, your first name.
- Messages: your name, email address, and whatever you write when you contact us.
Please don’t send us personal health information. We don’t need it and can’t give personal medical advice.
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data: such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring site, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
- Email engagement: if you subscribe, our email provider may record whether a message was delivered, opened, or a link was clicked.
3. How we use information
- to send the digest you asked for and respond to your messages;
- to operate, secure, and improve the Site and understand which topics are useful;
- to process correction requests and privacy requests; and
- to comply with law and enforce our Terms of Use.
4. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only:
- with service providers that host the Site, deliver email, or provide analytics, who may use it only to provide services to us;
- when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our readers, us, or others; and
- in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of the Site, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.
5. Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working and, with your consent where required, to measure traffic. See our Cookie Policy for details. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as an opt-out of any sale or sharing of personal information.
6. The email digest
We send the digest only to people who sign up. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also unsubscribe by emailing team@herhearth.com.
7. Retention and security
We keep subscriber information while you’re subscribed and for a short period afterward to honor your unsubscribe request. We keep messages as long as needed to respond and keep reasonable records. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
8. Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you email, by writing to team@herhearth.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws (such as in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other states) or the laws of other countries, including the right to appeal a decision about your request. We will verify and respond to requests as required by applicable law, and we won’t discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
9. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. International visitors
We operate in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information will be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
