Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

vitazelos. ("we", "us", or "our") operates vitazelos.com, an editorial website covering men's health topics including hormones, sexual health, hair loss, and metabolism. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information about visitors to this site.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your first name and email address. We do not require account creation or collect payment information.

Analytics data. We collect standard web analytics information including pages visited, time on page, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic location (country/region level). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Cookies. We use cookies to maintain session preferences and understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies help us understand which content is most useful. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; most site functionality will continue to work without them.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your email address and name solely to send you the newsletter and health content you signed up for. We do not use your personal data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Analytics data is used to improve site content and performance — for example, to understand which articles are most read and where readers drop off.

3. Third-Party Services

Email platform. We use a third-party email service provider (Acelle Mail or equivalent) to manage newsletter subscriptions and delivery. Your name and email are stored on their platform and governed by their privacy policy. We instruct our email provider not to use your data for any purpose other than sending communications on our behalf.

Hosting. This site is hosted on Hostinger. Standard server logs (including IP addresses and request metadata) are retained as part of normal hosting infrastructure. See Hostinger's privacy policy for details.

Analytics. If we use a third-party analytics tool, it will be configured to anonymise IP addresses and not share data with advertising networks.

We do not embed third-party advertising, tracking pixels, or social media widgets that collect data without your knowledge.

4. Affiliate and Partner Links

Some links on this site, particularly on the Brands page, may be affiliate links. Clicking them may result in us receiving a commission if you make a purchase. Affiliate links are clearly identified. Clicking an affiliate link does not cause any of your personal information to be shared with the partner — only standard referral data (the fact that you arrived from our site) is transmitted.

5. Your Rights

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. Upon request, we will delete your email address and name from our records.

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the GDPR / UK GDPR including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and the right to object to processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

6. Data Retention

We retain newsletter subscriber data for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your data is removed from active mailing lists promptly. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form and is not linked to individual identities.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information submitted to us, including using HTTPS for all site traffic. No internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data in transit or storage.

8. Children

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that a minor has submitted personal information, we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. We will notify newsletter subscribers of material changes.

10. Contact

For questions, requests, or concerns about this privacy policy or your personal data, please contact us via the details on our About page.
