Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Clarity Sexual Health (claritysexualhealth.com) handles information when you visit this website. We collect as little as possible, and we never ask you to tell us anything about your health.

The short version

• We do not operate accounts, logins, comments, or forums, and we do not ask you to submit personal or health information.
• We never sell your data, and we never link browsing on this site to your identity.
• Advertising and analytics providers set cookies. In regions that require prior consent, they are blocked until you agree.
• Because sexual health is sensitive, we do not use the topic of the page you are reading to build any profile of you.

Information we collect

Clarity is a static educational website. We do not run user accounts, comment systems, newsletters, or forms that store personal data on our servers. We may collect limited, aggregated analytics — such as page views, referring site, approximate country, device type, and browser — to understand which articles are useful and to improve them. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you.

Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical request data, including IP address and user agent, for security and abuse prevention. We do not use these logs for advertising or profiling.

Cookies and advertising

This site is free to read and is funded by advertising. To make that work, we and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies. Our full Cookie Policy lists each category and what it does.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Users may opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.com.

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies. You can read how Google handles data on its partner sites page.

Sensitive topics and ad personalization

Sexual health information is personal, and we treat it that way. We do not pass the subject of the page you are reading to advertisers as an interest signal, and we do not build or share audience segments based on health topics. Google also restricts ad personalization around sensitive categories, including sexual health.

Your consent choices

If your region requires prior consent — including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland — advertising and analytics cookies are set to denied until you choose otherwise, using Google Consent Mode. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which makes the consent banner appear again.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data:

• EEA / UK (GDPR): rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, plus the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Our lawful basis for advertising and analytics cookies is your consent; for security logging it is legitimate interest.
• California (CCPA/CPRA): the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing”. We do not sell personal information. Choosing “Essential only” on our consent banner also serves as an opt-out of sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page. Because we do not hold accounts, we may be unable to identify data belonging to a specific individual; where that is the case we will say so.

Data retention and transfers

We do not maintain a database of visitors. Aggregated analytics are retained only in summary form. Our advertising and analytics providers may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under their own safeguards and standard contractual clauses.

Children

This site provides general health education intended for an adult audience and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and we do not permit ad personalization directed at children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Because it is a static site with no logins and no stored user data, the attack surface is deliberately minimal.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy; the revision date above always reflects the current version. Material changes will be noted on this page. Privacy questions can be sent to hello@claritysexualhealth.com or through our contact page.
