Your privacy matters. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, how long we retain it, and the choices you have. We only gather the data needed to run Healbal safely and responsibly.

• Basic usage data for operations and security (IP, user agent, approximate region, timestamps).
• Optional info you provide (comments, contact messages, newsletter signups).
• Limited analytics cookies or pixels to understand which pages perform best.
• Server logs that help us detect abuse, spam, or outages.

How We Use Information

Data Sharing
