At Soft Living, we respect your privacy and handle your information responsibly as a simple content blog sharing tips on mindful health habits. This Privacy Policy explains what data we gather, why, and how we protect it. We keep things straightforward since our site doesn’t involve sales, logins, or complex services—just articles, a contact form, and optional newsletter signups. We do not sell your personal information to anyone. Read on for the details tailored to our small-scale operations.
Information We Collect
We distinguish between Personal Information, which identifies you as an individual, and other data that doesn’t on its own. Personal Information includes details you provide directly, like your name or email address through our contact form or newsletter signup. We only collect this when you choose to share it, such as asking a question or subscribing for updates on sleep tips or quick meals.
Other information includes online identifiers like IP addresses, browser types, device details, and pages visited, which we gather automatically via server logs and cookies. These may count as personal data under laws like GDPR depending on context. We also track aggregate usage, such as popular articles on gentle movement routines.
- Name and email from contact or signup forms.
- IP address and browser user agent from visits.
- Pages viewed and time spent on site.
- Device type and screen resolution for display optimization.
In simple terms: We get basics when you interact and logs from everyone who visits.
How We Use Information
We use Personal Information to respond to your messages, like replying to questions about stress management habits, or to send newsletters you requested with easy nutrition ideas. This helps us provide the supportive service you expect from our blog. We never share it with third parties except for processing those responses or emails.
For other data, we analyze site performance to improve content, such as which calming evening routines readers prefer, and fix technical issues. This keeps our advice accessible for busy beginners. Usage stats stay anonymized where possible to guide better posts without identifying individuals.
- Reply to contact form inquiries promptly.
- Send tailored newsletters on habit-building.
- Optimize site speed and mobile views.
- Understand top-read topics for future articles.
Legal Basis and Rights
Our legal bases include legitimate interests for site analytics and improvements, consent for newsletters, and steps needed to provide requested services like email replies. Under GDPR, this means we process data fairly and transparently. California residents have CCPA rights: request access to or deletion of personal information, and opt out of any sale or sharing—though we do not sell personal information.
You can exercise rights by emailing us; we’ll respond reasonably. This covers Europeans and Californians specifically, but we honor similar requests globally. Opting out of newsletters is instant via the unsubscribe link.
In simple terms: Consent drives emails; interests improve the site; you control your data.
- Withdraw consent anytime for marketing.
- Request data access or correction.
- Opt out of non-essential processing.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies for essential functions like remembering your site preferences during a session, and analytics to measure visitor trends without personal details. Cookies typically hold online identifiers for preferences or stats, not names or emails. Google Analytics helps us see aggregate data, like how many read our short walks guide.
You manage cookies via browser settings—most block or clear them easily. For Analytics specifics, visit Google’s tools. We minimize tracking to respect your time on our low-friction health tips.
- Essential: Site navigation and preferences.
- Analytics: Anonymous visit counts and paths.
- Preferences: Language or layout choices.
In simple terms: Cookies help the site work smoothly; disable if you prefer.
Advertising Practices
We display ads via Google AdSense to support our free content on mindful habits. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies like DoubleClick for ad personalization based on your interests across sites. This funds practical advice without charging readers.
We don’t control these ad networks directly; they set their own cookies on your device. Manage ad preferences in your Google Ads Settings or browser. You can unsubscribe from personalized ads anytime through those tools.
Our partners may track across sites for relevance, but we run no cross-site tracking ourselves.
Data Retention and Security
We keep Personal Information only as long as needed for the purpose, like holding contact details until your query resolves, then deleting promptly. Server logs and analytics data stay for a limited period to monitor performance, typically anonymized soon after. Newsletters subscribers remain listed until you unsubscribe.
Security involves reasonable steps like secure servers, limited staff access, and encryption for sensitive transmissions. We review practices regularly against small-blog risks. No system is perfect, so we encourage strong passwords if applicable.
Children’s Privacy
Our site targets adults with busy lifestyles seeking sustainable health changes, not children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If we learn of such info, we delete it immediately per COPPA guidelines.
Parents, contact us if you spot issues. Content stays general and family-friendly anyway.
Third-Party Links
We link to helpful resources like free habit trackers, but we’re not responsible for their privacy practices. Review those sites’ policies before sharing data. Our focus remains on our simple, home-based tips.
