Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Better Habits, published by ZN Digital Ventures LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit betterhabits.online (the "Site") or subscribe to our newsletter. Please read it carefully. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who we are

The Site is operated by ZN Digital Ventures LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, with its address at 525 Randall Ave, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001, United States. For any question about this policy or about your personal information, contact us at contact@betterhabits.online with "Privacy request" in the subject line.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you contact us by email or post, we collect whatever information you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and the analytics and advertising services described below may automatically collect technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen size, referring website, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on each page. Some of this information is collected through cookies and similar technologies, described in Section 4.

Information we do not collect. We do not ask for, and ask you not to send us, sensitive information such as details of your medical conditions, government identification numbers, or financial account information. The Site does not process payments.

3. How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the Site; to send the newsletter to subscribers who requested it; to respond to messages; to understand how the Site is used so we can improve it; to measure the reach and effectiveness of our own promotional efforts, including advertising campaigns on third-party platforms; to detect and address technical problems, abuse, or security incidents; and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your information to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

4. Cookies, analytics, and advertising technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, and local storage). A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. Our Cookie Policy describes the categories we use in more detail. In summary:

• Essential technologies allow the Site to function, for example remembering that you have dismissed the cookie notice or chosen larger text. These are stored on your device and are not used to track you across other websites.
• Analytics services help us understand which pages are read and how visitors arrive at the Site. These services may set their own cookies and collect the technical information described in Section 2. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not identify you by name.
• Advertising pixels and tags from third parties, including the Meta Pixel operated by Meta Platforms, Inc., and similar tools from other advertising platforms, may be present on the Site. These tools allow us to measure whether our advertising on those platforms brought visitors to the Site and to reach people who have visited the Site with relevant advertising on those platforms. They may collect information such as your IP address, browser information, the pages you visit, and identifiers associated with your device or your account on the platform. Each platform processes this information under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

When you first visit the Site, a notice at the bottom of the page lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's stored data for this Site, which will cause the notice to appear again. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and, for many advertising platforms, through the platform's own advertising preferences. Declining cookies does not prevent you from reading the Site.

5. How we share information

Personal information is never exchanged for money. We share information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers that host the Site, deliver the newsletter, or provide analytics, under agreements that limit their use of the information to providing services to us.
• Advertising platforms, as described in Section 4, which receive technical information through their pixels and tags. Under some privacy laws, this kind of sharing may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising, and you have the right to opt out as described in Section 8.
• Legal requirements, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our readers, or others.
• Business transfers, if ZN Digital Ventures LLC or the Site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case the information may be transferred to the successor, subject to this policy.

6. Data retention

We keep newsletter email addresses until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them. We keep correspondence for as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping. Analytics and advertising data is retained according to the policies of the services that collect it, which typically aggregate or delete individual-level data after a set period.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including serving the Site over encrypted connections and limiting access to subscriber data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot promise absolute security.

8. Your rights and choices

Newsletter. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us to be removed.

Cookies and advertising. See Section 4 for how to decline or manage cookies and advertising technologies.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA). If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; to request deletion of your personal information; to correct inaccurate personal information; to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; to limit the use of sensitive personal information (we do not collect it); and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise them, email contact@betterhabits.online with "Privacy request" in the subject line. To opt out of sharing for advertising purposes, decline non-essential cookies in the notice on the Site, and use the advertising preference tools offered by the relevant platforms. We will verify your request by confirming the email address it concerns, and we will respond within the time required by law.

Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland (GDPR and UK GDPR). Where these laws apply, our legal bases for processing are your consent (for non-essential cookies and the newsletter), our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and promoting the Site, and compliance with legal obligations. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data; to restrict or object to processing; to data portability; to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal; and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address above. Because we are located in the United States, information we collect is transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

Other U.S. states. Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights of access, correction, deletion, and opt-out. Requests can be made through the same contact address, and we will honor them as the applicable law requires.

9. Children's privacy

The Site is written for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Third-party links

Articles on the Site link to external websites, mainly those of public health institutions. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and this policy does not apply to them.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common standard for interpreting it, the Site does not currently respond to such signals. The cookie notice and the controls described in Section 4 remain available.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be indicated by an updated date and, where appropriate, a notice on the Site. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
