Who we are
AVYH is an online lifestyle and wellbeing website offering articles, ideas and practical resources around healthy living, wellbeing, personal growth and everyday life.
AVYH is responsible for the personal information described in this Privacy Policy.
Our website address is https://avyh.co.uk.
For privacy-related questions, you can contact AVYH using the details provided on our Contact page.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on AVYH, we may collect the information entered in the comment form, such as your name, email address and comment.
We may also collect technical information such as your IP address and browser information to help detect spam and protect the website.
Your email address is not displayed publicly with your comment.
If the website uses Gravatar, an anonymised version of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. If your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile image may appear alongside your comment.
Why we use your information
We use personal information only where we have a lawful reason to do so.
Depending on how you interact with AVYH, this may include our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the website, responding to enquiries and moderating comments.
Where you choose to receive marketing emails from AVYH, we will normally rely on your consent. You can withdraw that consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us.
Where information is needed to provide something you have specifically requested, such as sending a free resource, we may use it for that purpose.
Cookies
AVYH uses cookies and similar technologies where necessary to help the website operate securely and remember certain visitor preferences.
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies so that you do not need to enter those details again when leaving another comment.
Essential cookies may be used where necessary for the operation and security of the website.
If AVYH later uses analytics or other non-essential cookies, visitors will be provided with appropriate information and choices before those cookies are used where consent is required.
Embedded content from other websites
Some AVYH pages or articles may contain content from other websites, such as videos, images or social media content.
Embedded content may behave in the same way as if you visited the external website directly. Those websites may collect information about you, use cookies or track how you interact with their content.
Their use of your information will be governed by their own privacy policies.
Who we share your data with
AVYH does not sell your personal information.
We may use trusted service providers where necessary to operate the website, provide website hosting, prevent spam, deliver emails or provide services that you request.
These providers may process limited personal information on our behalf and are expected to handle it appropriately and securely.
We may also disclose information where required by law.
How long we retain your data
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Comments and associated information may be retained while the comment remains published or where reasonably necessary for moderation, administration or security.
If you subscribe to AVYH emails in the future, your contact details may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to any information we need to keep for legal or administrative purposes.
We periodically review the personal information we hold and remove information that is no longer required.
What rights you have over your data
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
access personal information we hold about you;
ask us to correct inaccurate information;
ask us to delete personal information;
ask us to restrict how information is used;
object to certain uses of your information;
request transfer of certain information; and
withdraw consent where consent is the basis on which information is being used.
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances.
If you wish to exercise a privacy right, please contact AVYH through our Contact page.
Third-party services
AVYH may use third-party services to help operate and protect the website.
For example, comments may be checked using automated spam-detection services.
We may also use website hosting, email delivery, analytics or other service providers as AVYH develops.
Where third-party providers process personal information, their own privacy practices may also apply.
Email subscriptions and free resources
AVYH may offer free resources and email updates.
If you choose to subscribe, we may collect information such as your name and email address so that we can send the resource you requested and, where you have agreed, occasional AVYH emails.
You will be able to unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in those emails.
We will not add you to marketing emails simply because you downloaded something unless you have been clearly informed and an appropriate lawful basis applies.
Questions or complaints
If you have a question or concern about how AVYH handles your personal information, please contact us first using the Contact page.
You also have the right to raise concerns with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator. You can find information about your data protection rights and how to make a complaint on the ICO website.
