Privacy Policy

About This Policy

MyEssentialOilHQ ("we," "our," or "us") operates myessentialoilhq.com to publish evidence-based essential-oil and aromatherapy education. This policy is for readers seeking educational essential-oil and aromatherapy information and explains how we handle personal information.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide, including your name, email address, account details, support messages, newsletter choices, and records of consent. We may also receive limited technical and usage information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps, security events, and cookies needed to operate and protect the site.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and protect the site, understand usage, and enhance your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

How We Use Information

We use information to provide and secure the site, respond to requests, maintain account and preference records, improve reliability, comply with law, and send communications you have requested. We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information.

Newsletter Privacy and Consent

Newsletters provide educational updates about essential oils and aromatherapy to people who ask to receive them. Newsletter enrollment is optional and is never enabled by account registration.

• We use double opt-in: an eligible submission may create a pending request, and delivery does not begin unless the address holder confirms through the confirmation email.
• Resend processes the email address and delivery data to send the confirmation email on our instructions. Newsletter messages are not currently sent because no newsletter delivery service is active.
• We retain preference, confirmation, suppression, and consent records for as long as needed to honor your choices, document consent, prevent unwanted mail, and meet legal or security obligations. We delete or de-identify other newsletter data when no longer needed for those purposes.
• You may contact us to withdraw your request or consent, unsubscribe, or ask us to record that you do not want newsletter messages. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Service Providers and Disclosures

We may disclose only the information needed to vendors that provide hosting, security, analytics, authentication, billing, support, and email delivery. They process information for us under applicable contractual and legal duties. We may also disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect people, rights, and services.

Affiliate Links and Third-Party Services

Our site contains affiliate links to third-party product providers. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

• Third-party providers process purchases made after you follow an affiliate link under their own privacy policies and terms.
• Depending on the provider, they may share referral, conversion, or transaction details with us.

Review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit through an affiliate link.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. No Internet service can guarantee absolute security. We retain information only for the purposes described above, required recordkeeping periods, dispute resolution, and enforcement, then delete or de-identify it when reasonably practicable.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of personal information, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, and appeal or complain to a regulator. To make a request, contact us below. We may verify your identity and will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

Third-Party Links and Children

Third-party sites have their own privacy practices. MyEssentialOilHQ is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy and will post the revised version here with a new last-updated date. Our Terms of Service also govern use of MyEssentialOilHQ.
