Privacy Policy

Who we are

Clearleaf Botanics publishes an informational reference on essential-oil safety at https://blissfully.top. For any privacy question, including access and deletion requests, write to [email protected]. This is the only contact channel for data protection matters.

Information we collect

We do not operate user accounts, do not accept comments, and do not run a contact form, so we do not ask you for a name, a postal address or a telephone number. What is collected is what any web server and any advertising or analytics script collects: the IP address that made the request, the page requested, the referring URL, the user-agent string, and the time of the request. These appear in our server access logs and are used to detect abuse, measure which monograph pages are actually read, and fix broken links.

Aggregated and de-identified access statistics are reviewed by the site operator in an internal dashboard. We do not attempt to re-identify visitors from log data and we do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site itself sets no cookies for its own functionality. Third-party services loaded on these pages may set cookies or read device identifiers. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the reference pages here — the dilution chart, the monographs, the glossary — work identically with all cookies blocked, because they are rendered on the server.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. This is often described as personalised or interest-based advertising.

Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie and, in the EU/EEA and UK, the Google Advertising Products data-processing terms, to serve ads to users based on their visits to this and other sites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com, and you may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices or https://www.youronlinechoices.eu. Opting out does not remove advertising; it makes the ads you see less relevant.

We do not control third-party ad content, and we do not share any data we hold with advertisers. Third-party vendors and ad networks operate under their own privacy policies, which we link to where we can and which we recommend reading.

Analytics

If measurement is enabled on this site, it is done with a privacy-conscious analytics tag that reports page views, referrers, approximate country and device class. We do not use analytics to build advertising profiles, and we do not enable Google Signals or advertising-personalisation features in any analytics property linked to this domain.

Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to be informed about the processing of your personal data, the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing. Our lawful bases are legitimate interests for security logging and consent or legitimate interests for advertising, depending on your jurisdiction and the choices you have made on the advertising consent message.

To exercise any of these rights, write to [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. Because we hold almost no personal data, the practical response to most access requests will be a description of the categories of data in our logs plus a confirmation that we hold nothing else keyed to you.

Your rights under the CCPA and CPRA

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, the right to know whether it is sold or shared and to whom, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights. We do not sell personal information for monetary value. Where personalised advertising is served, that may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising under the CPRA; you may opt out through the advertising consent message presented on this site, through the browser-based opt-out signals we honour, or by writing to us.

To make a request under the CCPA or CPRA, write to [email protected] with "California privacy request" in the subject line. We will verify the request to the extent we are able, given that we do not hold accounts or identifiers tied to named individuals.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We honour the Global Privacy Control signal where it is transmitted by your browser and where the law requires it to be treated as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Browser "Do Not Track" headers are not standardised and are not relied upon by the advertising vendors loaded here.

International transfers and retention

This site is served from servers located outside the European Economic Area. Where data is transferred, it is transferred under the standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard offered by the processor in question. Server access logs are rotated and deleted on a rolling basis, typically within 30 days, and are not archived indefinitely.

Children

This site is written for adults and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, write to [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to delete it.

Medical disclaimer and changes to this policy

Content on this site is informational only and is not medical advice. For the health-related terms of use, see the Terms of Use page. We may update this policy as advertising partners, analytics providers or applicable law change. The date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision, and material changes will be reflected there rather than announced separately.
