We do not control how these third parties collect or use your data. Their use of your information is governed by their respective privacy policies.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• With service providers: Third-party companies that help us operate the website (hosting, analytics, advertising) may have access to automatically collected data solely for the purpose of performing services on our behalf.
• For legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or the public.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice on this website of any such change.

Data Retention

We retain automatically collected technical data (such as server logs and analytics data) for as long as necessary to operate our website and comply with legal obligations, typically no longer than 26 months. Health data entered into our calculators is never stored — it exists only in your browser for the duration of your session.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These measures include SSL/HTTPS encryption for all pages, secure hosting infrastructure, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
