Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Restful Body Balance (restfulbodybalance.site) handles personal data when you use the site. It covers what is collected, why, how long it is kept, and what you can ask us to do with it.

What this policy covers

Nine short chapters. Each one answers a question readers send us most often about their data — what we hold, why, how long, and how to change it.

Data we collect

When you submit the contact form, we collect the details you enter, which may include your name, email address, and message content. That is the only way personal data reaches us through this site.

Basic technical data such as browser type and pages visited may be recorded for site operation and security. These records help us notice when something breaks, when a page is being scraped, or when the site is under unusual load.

We do not collect payment information, as the site does not sell products or process payments. There is no account to register, no checkout to complete, and no billing details kept on file.

Why we collect it

Contact form data is used to receive, review, and reply to your message. If you send a question about a chapter of the guide, we read it as a reader's letter — someone from the editorial team answers it, and nothing about it is filed into a marketing list.

Technical data is used to keep the site working, prevent abuse, and understand which pages are read. Page popularity tells us where to spend the next round of writing and photography.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. Nothing you send us is scored, sorted, or matched against health topics you may have read.

We do not sell personal data to third parties. Not as a list, not as a segment, not as an audience.

Legal basis

Where the data protection rules of the European Union and Finland apply, we process contact data on the basis of your consent or our legitimate interest in responding to messages. Technical data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure website.

You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawing does not affect what we handled before the request arrived.

Cookies and similar tools

The site may use cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality and to understand how pages are used. Details, including categories and how to control them, are set out in the cookie policy.

You can adjust cookie settings through your browser at any time. Blocking functional cookies may change how parts of the site behave.

Sharing and processors

We do not share personal data with advertisers. Limited technical service providers may process data on our behalf, for example hosting or email delivery, under instructions that restrict their use of it. Any such providers are required to protect the data and use it only for the agreed purpose.

If a provider cannot meet those terms, we replace the provider rather than widen the terms.

Retention

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to handle the request and any follow-up, and are then deleted or anonymised.

Technical logs are kept for a limited period for security and operational purposes. If you ask us to delete your message sooner, we will do so unless we are required to keep it.

Your rights

You have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, and a copy of the data in a portable format. You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest.

  • Access — ask what data we hold about you and receive a copy.
  • Correction — tell us what is inaccurate and we will fix it.
  • Deletion — ask us to delete your message and any linked notes.
  • Portability — receive what you sent us in a format you can reuse.

To exercise any of these, write to us through the contact page. We reply within the working week.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

If a data breach affects you, we will inform you as required by law.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the site or in applicable law. The current version is always published on this page.

For questions about this policy or your personal data, contact the editorial team through the contact page.

Questions we get about privacy

Short answers to the things readers ask before they send a message.

Do you sell my email address to anyone?

No. We do not sell personal data to third parties, and we do not pass contact form entries to advertisers. Technical processors such as our host handle data only under written instructions for the agreed purpose.

How long do you keep a message I send you?

Only as long as needed to handle the request and any follow-up. After that it is deleted or anonymised. If you ask us to delete it sooner, we do so unless the law obliges us to keep it.

Does the site process payments or hold card details?

No. This is an editorial guide — there is no shop, checkout, or billing system on the site, so no payment information is collected or stored.

Can I use the site without cookies?

Yes. The guide pages are readable with cookies blocked. Some functionality may behave differently, and site analytics will not show us how you reached the page. Details are in the cookie policy.
