We do not knowingly seek unnecessary personal information from children.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to Healthtus inappropriately, please contact us.

Commercial emails should, where required:
- Use accurate sender information
- Avoid deceptive subject lines
- Include required commercial-message identification
- Provide an appropriate postal address
- Provide a clear opt-out mechanism
- Honor valid opt-out requests within the legally required period
The FTC states that CAN-SPAM requires commercial email senders to provide a clear opt-out method and honor opt-out requests within 10 business days, among other requirements.
Important operational requirement: if Healthtus sends commercial emails to U.S. recipients, the emails should contain the valid physical postal address required by CAN-SPAM. This Privacy Policy itself does not replace that email-level requirement.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit rights that cannot lawfully be waived or restricted.
45. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Healthtus does not intentionally use information collected directly through ordinary website interactions to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.
Third-party analytics and advertising providers may use automated technologies for purposes such as:
- Audience measurement
- Advertising
- Fraud detection
- Content or advertising personalization
Such third-party processing may be governed by their respective policies and applicable law.
46. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” or other privacy signals.
Because standards and legal requirements relating to these signals vary, Healthtus may not respond identically to every signal.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal, we aim to do so as required.
47. Data Minimization
Healthtus aims to collect only personal information reasonably necessary for legitimate and specified purposes.
For example, if only an email address is necessary for a newsletter subscription, we aim not to require unrelated sensitive information.
We encourage visitors not to submit unnecessary personal information.
48. Accuracy and Correction
We aim to maintain personal information accurately where necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
If information you provided to us is inaccurate or outdated, you may request correction by contacting:

Healthtus may display embedded content from third-party services, such as:

- Other external content
Embedded content may allow the third-party provider to process information about your interaction with that content.
Where required, such content or associated non-essential tracking technologies may be subject to consent controls.
52. Business Transfers
If Healthtus or substantially all of its relevant business or website assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer, information associated with the website may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.
Any successor receiving personal information would be expected to process it consistently with applicable legal requirements.
53. Legal Requests and Protection of Rights
We may preserve or disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law
- Respond to lawful legal process
- Respond to valid government requests
- Investigate suspected fraud
- Protect website security

We do not voluntarily disclose personal information to authorities merely because it is requested informally where a legally valid process is required.
54. No Sale of Personal Information as a Standalone Database
Healthtus does not operate a business whose purpose is selling its visitors’ personal information or newsletter database.
We do not sell or rent our newsletter subscriber list as a standalone commercial mailing list.
However, advertising and affiliate technologies can involve data processing by third parties.
Where applicable privacy law defines certain advertising disclosures or cross-context behavioral advertising as “sale,” “sharing,” or similar regulated activity, we will provide legally required disclosures and opt-out mechanisms if those requirements apply to Healthtus.
