Privacy Policy

1. Information we handle

• Hosting and security logs may contain IP addresses, requested URLs, referrers, browser details, and request times. Search terms can appear in the page URL and server logs.
• Messages and correction requests contain what you send and the contact details or social handle used to send them.
• Contributor and administrator accounts store account and profile information, password hashes, sign-in and audit records, assignments, drafts, reviews, and suggestions. Public contributor profiles display the information published for that role.

Avoid including names, diagnoses, prescriptions, or other sensitive information in search terms or correction messages. PakVita does not need payment details or prescriptions to let you read medicine information.

2. Health tools and browser storage

Calculators use the values you enter to show an estimate. Some tools save entries or preferences in browser storage on your device, depending on the tool and settings you choose. Clearing site storage or using a shared device can remove or expose saved entries. Check the individual tool instructions before saving health information. Calculator output is not a diagnosis.

3. Why data is used

We use operational data to deliver pages, secure accounts, investigate faults and abuse, manage editorial work, and respond to messages. Article-view counts may be recorded in aggregate. Contributor profile information is used for attribution. We do not sell personal data.

4. Cookies and optional analytics

After you allow advertising measurement, Meta receives a generic visit event and browser information through an isolated Pixel frame and our server. This is limited to general public pages. Medicine pages, health tools, searches and account areas are excluded; their content, URLs, input and referrers are not sent. Advertising measurement stays off until you allow it and is blocked by Global Privacy Control. Use Advertising preferences on a general public page to change your choice.

Authentication cookies are used for contributor and administrator sign-in. Tools may use local storage for their own features. Google Analytics can be enabled through site configuration; when enabled, it loads a Google script and can collect page views, device/browser information, referrers, and cookie identifiers. When it is not configured, that script is not loaded.

You can block or clear cookies and site storage in your browser. For Google Analytics controls, see Google’s browser opt-out tool and Google’s Privacy Policy. Blocking cookies may affect sign-in or saved tool settings.

5. Advertising and third-party vendors

PakVita does not currently load a Google AdSense ad-serving script. An ads.txt seller entry alone does not display ads or confirm AdSense approval. If advertising is introduced, the implementation and this policy must be kept aligned, including consent controls where required.

When Google advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers to serve and measure ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. Google advertising cookies can enable Google and its partners to serve personalised ads. Health information must not be used to build personalised advertising audiences.

Advertising choices are available at Google My Ad Center and YourAdChoices. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. These links describe vendor controls and do not imply that ads currently run here.

6. Service providers and external links

Hosting, database, file-storage, source-control, and transactional-email providers process information needed to operate the site and contributor workflow. Google receives analytics information when Analytics is enabled. Emails sent to our Gmail inbox are processed by Google under its own privacy policy. If you contact us on Instagram or another social platform, that platform processes the message under its own policy. External source links take you to services we do not control.

7. Retention and security

Operational logs, messages, account records, and editorial audit data are retained for their operational, security, or editorial purposes. Retention depends on the record and service provider; this policy does not promise a single deletion period. Passwords are stored as hashes. Access controls reduce risk, but no online service can guarantee complete security.

8. Choices and requests

You can browse without signing in, clear local storage, manage cookies, and avoid sending sensitive information. For account, profile, correction-message, or privacy requests, email pakvitaofficial@gmail.com or use our contact page. We may need to verify the request and explain any records that must be retained. Public profile changes and editorial audit records may need separate handling.

9. Children

PakVita is intended as general educational information for adults and caregivers. It is not directed at children under 13. A caregiver should use child-health tools without entering identifying details. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can assess and address it.

10. Policy changes

The date above identifies the latest update to this policy. New advertising, analytics, or account features must be reflected here when their data practices change.
