Privacy Policy for WattsWithPain.com

Last updated: May 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how WattsWithPain.com collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website.

Who We Are

WattsWithPain.com is a personal blog and informational website created to share lived experiences of chronic illness, medical complexity, and resilience. The content is written and managed by an individual, not a company or corporation.

Information We Collect

WattsWithPain.com does not collect personal data such as names, email addresses, or contact details — because we don’t use contact forms and have commenting turned off across the site.

However, the site may collect limited technical data automatically, including:

• IP addresses (anonymised where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time spent on the site
• Referring websites

This data is collected via standard WordPress functionality and plugins, and is used only to monitor general site performance and visitor trends.

Cookies

WattsWithPain.com may use cookies to:

• Improve site performance
• Remember user preferences (like dark mode, if ever added)
• Enable embedded third-party content (e.g. YouTube videos)

You can adjust your cookie preferences in your browser settings.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (like YouTube videos). Embedded content behaves as if you’ve visited the third-party site directly — meaning those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

We do not control third-party sites and recommend reviewing their privacy policies for further information.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data. Ever. There’s no hidden agenda here — we’re just sharing personal lived experience stories.

Your Rights

If you’re located in a region covered by data protection laws (like GDPR or CCPA), you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we may hold (we don’t anticipate having any)
• Ask for corrections or deletion of that data

Contact information for these requests is listed below.

If you have any privacy-related questions or concerns, you can contact WattsWithPain via email at: [email protected]

Policy Updates

This policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page.

Thanks for visiting — hopefully you find the blog useful.
