6. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on the Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, widgets, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly.

These websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third‑party websites. You should review their privacy policies for more information.

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Operation and maintenance of the Site, including providing and personalizing content and features;
  • Communication with you, including responding to comments, questions, and requests;
  • Sending administrative information, such as updates to our terms, policies, or technical notices;
  • Sending newsletters or marketing communications, where you have opted in (you may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in such communications or by contacting us);

  • Security and fraud prevention, including protecting the Site and our users, detecting, preventing, and responding to potential security incidents, spam, and misuse;
  • Compliance, including enforcing our terms and complying with applicable legal obligations.

8. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”), our legal bases for processing your personal data may include:

  • your consent, where required (for example, for certain cookies or marketing communications);
  • performance of a contract with you, where processing is necessary to provide services you request;
  • compliance with legal obligations;
  • our legitimate interests, such as operating, improving, and securing the Site, provided that such interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

9. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers. With third‑party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, data storage, analytics, email delivery, and security. These parties are permitted to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are generally bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Spam and Security Services. With automated spam detection and security services used to protect the Site from spam, abuse, and malicious activity.
  • Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights. When we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to enforce our terms and policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Healthy Bite Lab, our users, or others.
  • Business Transfers. In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company. If such a transaction occurs, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy or a successor policy.
  • With Your Consent. We may share your information with your consent or at your direction.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.

10. How Long We Retain Your Information

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For example:

  • If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and automatically approve any follow‑up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • For users who register on the Site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
  • Log and analytics data may be retained for a reasonable period for security, analysis, backup, and compliance purposes.

When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or otherwise prevent it from being associated with you.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information;
  • Delete personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions;
  • Restrict or object to certain processing of your personal information;
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent (this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal);
  • Receive a copy of certain personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format (data portability).

If you have an account on the Site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you and may request that we erase such data, subject to information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at admin@healthybitelab.com.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
