Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Privacy Commitment

At TruthUpfront Health (health.truthupfront.com), protecting reader privacy is of paramount importance. We understand that health and wellness topics are deeply personal, and we are committed to maintaining a secure, privacy-respecting environment across all our publishing platforms.

2. Non-Collection of Protected Health Information (PHI)

TruthUpfront Health is a journalistic digital media publication, not a healthcare provider or covered entity under HIPAA.

• We do not collect, request, process, or maintain electronic health records (EHR) or Protected Health Information (PHI).
• Readers are strictly instructed not to submit personal medical diagnoses, laboratory reports, prescription histories, or patient charts through public comments or contact forms.
• Any incidental health details shared voluntarily in reader inquiries are treated as confidential correspondence and deleted upon resolution.

3. Standard Technical Data Collection

Like all network sites, we collect minimal operational information required to serve our web content:

• Server Logs: Anonymized IP addresses, browser agents, access timestamps, and referring pages for site performance and defense against malicious traffic.
• Analytics: Aggregated, privacy-focused engagement metrics to determine which health topics and research reviews are most helpful to readers.
• Opt-In Subscriptions: Voluntary email addresses for health newsletter updates, stored securely with immediate one-click unsubscribe links.

4. Your Global Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

You hold full rights to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data you have provided to us. We never sell personal data or reader browsing histories to third-party data brokers or pharmaceutical marketers.
