Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be given the opportunity to accept, reject or manage certain categories of cookies through a cookie consent tool or your browser settings.

8. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services
Articles and pages on Healthy Living + Travel may contain embedded content from other websites and services, including videos, social media posts, maps, booking tools, advertisements or other interactive content.

Healthy Living + Travel does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage readers to review those providers’ privacy policies.
9. External Links

Some Healthy Living + Travel content may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through an affiliate link, we may receive a commission or other compensation at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate networks or retailers may use cookies or similar technologies to identify referrals that originated from Healthy Living + Travel.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, security and business requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected and applicable legal requirements. We may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of information that is no longer required.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.
No internet transmission, website, electronic storage system or method of communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while we take reasonable measures to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. International and Cross-Border Processing
Healthy Living + Travel reaches readers internationally and may use service providers located in Canada, the United States or other countries.
As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside the jurisdiction in which you live. Information processed in another jurisdiction may be subject to the laws and lawful access requirements of that jurisdiction.
Where required, we take appropriate steps to protect personal information transferred across borders.

Healthy Living + Travel does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. Certain advertising or analytics activities, however, may fall within broader legal definitions of “sale” or “sharing.”

17. European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Other International Visitors
If you are located in a jurisdiction governed by the General Data Protection Regulation, UK data protection law or similar legislation, our processing of personal information may be based on one or more lawful grounds, including:
- Your consent
