This policy explains how Bloom Through Menopause handles information when you visit the site. We aim to handle any personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.
The short version
- You don't need an account, and there are no comment sections or forms that collect your details.
- The site's tools work only in your browser. Nothing you enter in them is stored or sent to us.
- We show ads from Google AdSense, and Google uses cookies to do this.
The site's tools
The tools on this site (Where should I start?, the Symptom explorer, the Stage explorer, the Appointment checklist and the Waist-to-hip ratio calculator) run entirely in your browser. They don't store or send your answers, and what you enter is cleared when you leave the page. The same goes for the site's search box.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners show you ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can turn off personalised ads in Google's Ads Settings. To learn more, read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitors from the UK and Europe are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown.
Analytics
We don't use an analytics tool (such as Google Analytics) to track visitors. Google AdSense provides us with reports about ad performance, such as how many times ads were shown, which don't identify you.
Other services the site uses
- Hosting: the site is hosted by Netlify. Like most web hosts, Netlify may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and browser types, to run and secure the service.
- Fonts: the site's fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers to download them.
Links to other websites
We link to guidelines, health authorities and research. Other websites have their own privacy policies, and we aren't responsible for how they handle your information.
Children
This site is written for adults and isn't directed at children.
