Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2, 2026

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu respects the privacy of visitors to this website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit HealthFactsByDoctorPasindu.com, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We May Collect

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu does not require visitors to create an account or provide personal information simply to read the health information published on this website.

However, some information may be collected automatically when you visit the website.

This may include information such as:

  • your browser and device type

  • operating system

  • approximate geographic location

  • pages visited

  • date and time of visits

  • referring website or search engine

  • interactions with pages on the website

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address or similar technical identifiers

This information is generally used to understand how visitors use the website, improve its content and performance, and maintain website security.

2. Blogger and Google Services

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu is hosted using Blogger, a service provided by Google.

Because the website operates through Blogger and other Google services, Google may collect certain technical information when visitors access the website.

Google may use cookies, IP addresses, device information and other technologies in accordance with its own privacy policies and applicable laws.

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu does not control all information that may be collected directly by Google through the Blogger platform or other Google services.

3. Cookies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on a visitor's device that can help websites remember information, measure website activity, improve functionality and, where applicable, support advertising.

Cookies may be used for purposes including:

  • website functionality

  • traffic measurement and analytics

  • security

  • remembering visitor preferences

  • measuring advertising performance

  • providing relevant advertisements where applicable

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used by this website, including Google.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be asked for consent before certain cookies are used.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect the way certain website features work.

4. Google Analytics

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • number of visitors

  • pages viewed

  • approximate geographic location

  • browser and device information

  • session information

  • traffic sources

  • interactions with website content

This information helps us understand which health topics readers find useful, improve website navigation and develop better content.

Analytics information is generally reported in an aggregated form and is not used by Health Facts by Dr Pasindu to personally identify individual visitors.

5. Advertising and Google AdSense

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu may display advertisements, including advertisements provided through services such as Google AdSense.

If advertisements are displayed, Google and other advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure their performance and prevent repeated advertising.

Depending on applicable law, consent choices and advertising settings, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Because this is a health-information website, advertising should not be interpreted as medical endorsement by Dr Pasindu Abeysundara or Health Facts by Dr Pasindu.

Advertisements do not determine the medical conclusions or recommendations contained in editorial content.

Third-party advertisers may have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and use information.

Google restricts the use of sensitive health information for personalized advertising. Health Facts by Dr Pasindu does not intentionally provide advertisers with identifiable personal medical information about individual readers for advertising purposes.

6. Affiliate Links

Some articles may occasionally contain affiliate links.

An affiliate link means that Health Facts by Dr Pasindu may receive a small commission if a reader purchases a product or service after following the link, without necessarily increasing the price paid by the reader.

Where an affiliate relationship exists, it will be clearly disclosed in the relevant article.

Affiliate relationships do not determine medical conclusions or editorial recommendations.

Readers should not consider the presence of an affiliate link to be a personal medical recommendation.

7. Comments

If commenting is enabled on an article, visitors may choose to submit comments.

Information entered into a public comment field may become publicly visible.

Depending on the commenting system used by Blogger or Google, additional information may also be processed by the relevant service for purposes such as authentication, spam prevention and moderation.

Please do not post confidential medical information, personal identification details, medical records, addresses, telephone numbers or other sensitive information in public comments.

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu reserves the right to remove spam, abusive material, misleading medical claims or comments containing inappropriate personal information.

8. Contact Emails

If you contact us by email, information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address and message, may be retained for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.

Please avoid sending confidential medical records, passwords, financial information or other highly sensitive information by ordinary email.

Messages sent to Health Facts by Dr Pasindu do not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu does not provide individual diagnosis or emergency medical care by email.

9. Medical Information Submitted by Visitors

This website is intended to provide general health education.

Visitors should avoid submitting personally identifiable medical information through comments, email or other public features of the website unless it is genuinely necessary.

Any health information voluntarily submitted by a visitor will be handled with reasonable care, but ordinary website communication should not be considered a secure medical-record system.

If you require personal medical advice, please contact an appropriately qualified healthcare professional who can assess you directly.

10. Embedded Content and External Websites

Articles may contain links to external websites or embedded content such as:

  • videos

  • social-media posts

  • images

  • medical resources

  • research publications

  • government or professional health websites

These third-party websites and services may collect information independently and may use their own cookies or tracking technologies.

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of those services when appropriate.

11. Social Media

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu may link to social-media platforms.

If you interact with the website through a social-media platform, that platform may collect information according to its own privacy policy.

13. Data Retention

Personal information voluntarily provided through email or similar communications may be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided, for record keeping, security or legal requirements.

Technical and analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention policies of the third-party services used, including Google.

14. Data Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect information under our control.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should therefore avoid sending highly sensitive personal or medical information through ordinary website communications.

15. Children's Privacy

Health Facts by Dr Pasindu provides general health information and is not designed specifically to collect personal information from children.

We do not knowingly request personal information from children.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information through this website, they may contact us and request that the information be reviewed or removed where appropriate.
