This Privacy Policy explains how AllergyInControl (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you visit or interact with our website: https://allergyincontrol.com (the “Website”).

We are based in the Netherlands and aim to process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR (for visitors in the EEA and Switzerland).

1. Who we are

Our website address is: https://allergyincontrol.com.

Contact email: info@allergyincontrol.com

2. What personal data we collect and why

Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect the following data:

Contact data (for example: name and email address) when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.
Comment data (see Section 3) if you leave a comment.
Technical and usage data such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring URL, and interactions, mainly for security, analytics, and site improvement.
Cookie data and similar tracking data (see Section 6 and our Cookie Policy).

We use this data to:

operate and improve the Website,
keep the Website secure and prevent spam/abuse,
respond to messages or requests,
understand how the Website is used (analytics),
send newsletter emails when you opt in,
comply with legal obligations where applicable.

Legal bases (GDPR):

Consent (newsletter signups; optional analytics/marketing cookies where applicable)
Legitimate interests (security, fraud/spam prevention, basic website improvement)
Legal obligation (only where required)

3. Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment (if you use Gravatar).

4. Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

5. Affiliate links and third-party purchases (Amazon)

Our Website contains affiliate links, including links to Amazon. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.

Important:

We do not process payments on our Website.
Purchases, payments, shipping, returns, and customer service are handled by Amazon (or the relevant third-party seller) under their own terms and privacy policies.
When you click an Amazon link, Amazon may collect data about you (for example via cookies or tracking parameters). Please review Amazon’s privacy policy for details.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and related technologies to make the Website work, measure performance, and (where enabled) support marketing features.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page (if applicable), we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Cookie banner and consent: When you visit our Website for the first time, we show a cookie pop-up where you can manage preferences. You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the consent settings (if available on the Website).

For more details about cookie categories, services, and consent controls, please see our Cookie Policy.

If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect the data you provide (typically email address, and possibly name if requested) to send you emails and updates.

We use Brevo to manage subscriptions and send emails. Brevo may process personal data on our behalf as a service provider. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in any email we send.

8. Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images, maps, or social media widgets). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share personal data only when necessary to operate the Website, provide services you requested, or comply with legal obligations. This can include:

hosting and technical service providers,
analytics providers (where enabled and consented),
email delivery provider (Brevo),
spam detection and security services.

If you request a password reset (only relevant if password-protected areas exist), your IP address may be included in the reset email.

10. How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If you contact us by email, we retain the information as long as needed to handle your request and for record-keeping, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe (or as otherwise required for compliance, for example maintaining a suppression list to respect opt-outs).

11. What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

For EEA/Swiss users, your rights may include:

the right to be informed,
the right of access,
the right to rectification,
the right to erasure,
the right to restrict processing,
the right to data portability,
the right to object,
the right to withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent),
the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@allergyincontrol.com

12. Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Some third-party services we use (for example embedded media, analytics, or spam protection) may process data outside your country, including outside the EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards and consent mechanisms.

13. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to use appropriate protections.

14. Children’s privacy

The Website is not intended for children under 16 (or the age defined by local law) and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact info@allergyincontrol.com and we will take steps to remove it.
