We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the American Health Association (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit our health education website (the “Site”).

1. We Do Not Collect Personal Information 
   • You can visit our Site anonymously.  
   • We do not require you to register, create an account, or provide any personal information (name, email address, phone number, etc.).  
   • We do not use contact forms, newsletters, or any feature that collects personal data.

1. Information We Automatically Collect (Minimal & Anonymized)
   Like almost all websites, our web server automatically logs basic, non-identifying information when you visit, such as:  
   • Your IP address (anonymized)  
   • Browser type and language  
   • Referring page and pages visited  
   • Date and time
   • We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool (e.g., Plausible, Fathom, or Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled) that does not use cookies for tracking individuals and does not create user profiles.

1. Cookies & Tracking Technologies 
   • We do not use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or third-party tracking cookies.  
   • The only cookies (if any) are strictly necessary for basic Site functionality or anonymized analytics.

1. No Sharing or Selling of Data
   Because we do not collect personal information, we do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personal data to third parties.
2. Third-Party Links
   Our Site may link to external websites (e.g., CDC, NIH, reputable medical journals). Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
3. Children’s Privacy
   Our Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
4. Security
   We take reasonable measures to protect the limited technical data we receive, but no website is 100% secure.
