Your Privacy
Last updated: October 2026
This page explains, in everyday language, what information is handled when you read Wellbeing Notes or get in touch with the team behind it. The short version: we collect very little, we do not sell or share it, and we do not try to follow you around the web.
A simple, static website
Wellbeing Notes is made of pre-built pages delivered as plain files. There are no user accounts, no comment boxes, no newsletter sign-up stored on our side and no search box that records your queries. We do not run analytics tools, advertising networks, social media widgets or tracking pixels of any kind.
Your cookie choice
The first time you visit, a small notice asks whether you accept or decline optional cookies. Whatever you choose is saved in your own browser's local storage so that the notice does not keep reappearing. That note stays on your device; it is not sent to us and it does not identify you. You can remove it at any time by clearing your browser's site data, after which the notice will show again. More detail is on our page about cookies and your consent.
Hosting and server logs
Our pages reach you through a hosting company, as every website's do. To keep the service running and secure, the provider's servers automatically record basic technical details for each request, such as the IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the browser type and whether the request succeeded. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting, are kept only for a limited period and are not combined with other information to work out who you are.
When you email us
Writing to us shares your email address with us, along with your name if you sign off with it and anything you decide to include. We use this only to read and answer your message, and we keep the conversation for as long as it is useful for that purpose, after which it is deleted. We will never add you to a mailing list or pass your details to anyone else. Please do not send personal medical records or other sensitive details; we are not able to give individual health advice and do not need them.
Links to other websites
Here and there, an article sends you on to a website that is not ours. Once you follow a link you are on a website we do not control, and its own privacy policy applies. It is worth reading that policy before sharing any personal information there.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, data protection law, including the GDPR for readers in the UK and European Union, gives you rights over personal information held about you. These include the right to:
- ask what information we hold about you and receive a copy of it
- have inaccurate information corrected
- ask us to delete information, such as an old email conversation
- object to or ask us to restrict how your information is used
- take a concern to the privacy watchdog in your own country
Because we hold so little, most requests can be answered quickly. Use the address on our contact page and mention "privacy" in the subject line.
Children
Wellbeing Notes is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and if a child has emailed us we will delete the message once we become aware of it.
Changes to this page
If the way the site works changes, for example if we ever added a feature that handled more data, we would update this page and the date at the top before the change took effect.
