We do not ask for, and you should not send us, payment details, government ID numbers, or information about your medical conditions or treatments.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit. We also collect information about whether our emails were opened and which links were clicked.
3. How we use information

4. How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only in these limited situations:
- Service providers who help us run the Website and newsletter (for example, web hosting, email delivery, and analytics). They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- Affiliate partners. Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer or affiliate network may set its own cookies to track the referral. We do not give them your name or email address. See our Disclosure for details.
- Legal reasons, if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of DIYHealthTipz, our readers, or others.
- Business transfers, if DIYHealthTipz is sold or merged, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.
5. Cookies & analytics
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use them to remember preferences (such as dismissing our cookie notice), to measure traffic, and, through our partners, to track affiliate referrals and, where applicable, show relevant ads.
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Website. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies at aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work properly without cookies. Our Website does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
6. Your choices
- Unsubscribe: every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us and we'll remove you.
- Cookies: manage or block them in your browser, as described above.
- Access or deletion: email us to ask what information we hold about you, or to correct or delete it.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live (for example, California and other U.S. states with privacy laws, or the EU/UK), you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses. To make a request, email hello@diyhealthtipz.com. We will verify your request using your email address and respond within the time required by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
California "Shine the Light": we do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Visitors outside the U.S.: the Website is operated in the United States, and information you provide will be processed there.
8. Security & retention
We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep your information for as long as you remain subscribed or as needed for the purposes above, then delete it or make it anonymous.
9. Children
The Website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes & contact
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Questions? Email us at hello@diyhealthtipz.com or visit our Contact page.
