1. Who we are
Sotiref is an independent editorial website focused on everyday routines, mindful portions, gentle activity, rest, and general wellbeing. The website is designed to share practical lifestyle information in a clear and accessible way. It does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individual professional advice.
2. Information we may collect
We collect only the information needed to operate the website, respond to messages, and understand how visitors use our pages. This may include:
- Contact information, such as your name, email address, and message when you submit a contact form.
- Technical information, such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from internet settings, referring page, and pages visited.
- Cookie information, including essential cookies and basic preference or measurement data where those tools are used.
- Communication records, such as the date and content of a message sent to us, so we can reply consistently.
3. How we use information
Information may be used to:
- reply to questions, suggestions, or editorial feedback sent through the website;
- maintain website security, prevent spam, and identify technical problems;
- improve page structure, readability, and navigation based on aggregated visitor behaviour;
- keep internal records of communications where reasonably necessary;
- comply with legal obligations or respond to legitimate requests from public authorities.
4. Cookies and analytics
Sotiref may use cookies or similar technologies to keep the site working correctly, remember basic preferences, and review aggregated traffic patterns. Measurement data is used to understand general trends, not to build a detailed personal profile of a reader. More details are available on our Cookies Policy page.
5. Sharing information
We do not sell visitor information. Limited data may be shared with trusted service providers that support hosting, security, email delivery, analytics, or website maintenance. These providers are expected to use the information only for the services they provide. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the website.
6. Data retention
Contact messages are kept only for as long as needed to respond and maintain a reasonable record of the exchange. Technical logs and aggregated analytics may be retained for a limited period to protect the site and improve performance. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or keep it only in a form that no longer identifies an individual visitor.
7. Your choices
You can choose not to submit the contact form, disable non-essential cookies in your browser, or request that we review a message you previously sent. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain personal information.
8. External links
Our articles may link to other websites for context or convenience. External websites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for the content, security, or data handling of third-party pages.
9. Children’s privacy
Sotiref is written for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent personal information through the website, they may contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
