At uhealthies (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This GDPR Data Protection Policy explains how we collect, process, store, and safeguard personal information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679.
This policy applies to visitors and users of https://uhealthies.com, including individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and any other region where data protection laws apply.
By accessing or using our Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and agree to the data practices described below.
What GDPR Means for You
The General Data Protection Regulation is a European data protection law designed to give individuals greater control over how their personal data is collected, used, and shared. It requires websites and organisations to handle personal data lawfully, fairly, transparently, and securely.
uhealthies is committed to respecting these principles in all data processing activities.
Who Controls Your Data
For GDPR, uhealthies acts as the Data Controller, meaning we determine how and why personal data is processed.
If you have questions about how your data is handled, you may contact us at:
Email: info@uhealthies.com

Personal Data We Collect
Personal data refers to any information that can directly or indirectly identify you.
We may collect personal data that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, or other contact details, when you subscribe to newsletters, leave comments, submit forms, or communicate with us.
We also collect technical and usage data automatically when you visit the Website. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring websites. This information is used for security, analytics, and performance optimization purposes.
If you interact with uhealthies through social media platforms, we may receive limited publicly available information in accordance with your privacy settings on those platforms.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as medical records, genetic data, or biometric identifiers.
Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
We process personal data only when there is a lawful basis under GDPR. This may include your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Website, compliance with legal obligations, or the necessity to provide a requested service.
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
How We Use Personal Data
We use personal data to operate and maintain the Website, provide educational health content, respond to inquiries, send newsletters when you have opted in, analyse Website performance, improve user experience, ensure security, prevent misuse, and comply with legal requirements.
We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
uhealthies uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance Website functionality, analyze usage patterns, and support advertising and analytics services.
Non-essential cookies may require your consent depending on your location. You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or cookie consent tools available on the Website. Disabling cookies may affect certain Website features.
Advertising, Analytics, and Third-Party Services
We use services such as Google Analytics to understand how users interact with the Website and improve content quality.
We also use Google AdSense and other advertising platforms, which may use cookies to display relevant advertisements based on your browsing behaviour. You can manage ad personalisation through Google’s Ads Settings.
Uhealthies may participate in affiliate marketing programs. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
We may share limited personal data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Website, such as hosting providers, analytics services, email communication platforms, and security tools. These providers are required to protect your data and use it only for authorised purposes.
We may also disclose information if required by law or legal process.
International Data Transfers
Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent data protection measures.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encrypted connections, secure servers, access controls, and regular monitoring.
Despite these measures, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Data Protection
uhealthies does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that personal data from a child has been collected without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access your personal data, request corrections, request deletion, restrict or object to processing, request data portability, withdraw consent, and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.
