Who runs this site
Prime Male Health (primemalehealth.com) is an independent information site about prostate health and urinary symptoms in men over 50. It is operated by a private individual, not a company, clinic, or medical provider.
If you have a question about this policy or about data we hold, write to privacy@primemalehealth.com. We answer every message about privacy.
What we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and there is no contact form, newsletter, or comment section on this site. You can read every page here without typing anything about yourself.
What is collected automatically when you load a page:
- Technical data from your browser — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, screen size, language, and the page you came from.
- Behaviour on the page — which pages you opened, how long you stayed, how far you scrolled, and which links you clicked.
- Advertising parameters — if you arrived through an advertisement, the identifiers the ad platform attaches to the link so we can tell which ad brought you here.
What we never collect
We do not collect health information about you. Nothing on this site asks about your symptoms, your diagnosis, your medication, or your medical history, and none of that is recorded, stored, or shared. Reading an article about prostate symptoms tells our analytics that a page was viewed — it does not tell anyone that you have those symptoms.
We also never collect payment information. If you buy a product through a link on this site, the transaction happens entirely on the seller's own checkout, and we never see your card details, name, or address.
Why we collect it
Three reasons, and no others.
- To see what people actually read. If nobody finishes an article, it is written badly and needs fixing.
- To measure advertising. This site runs paid advertisements. Measuring which ads bring readers who find the content useful is the only way to avoid wasting money on ads that do not.
- To keep the site working. Error and performance data show us when a page is broken or loading too slowly.
We do not sell your data. We do not rent it, trade it, or hand it to data brokers. There is no mailing list to be added to.
Cookies and tracking
This site uses cookies and similar browser storage for the measurement described above. Two third-party services are involved:
- Flow Tracking (flowtrackingtool.com) — an analytics and ad-attribution tool. It records page views, clicks and the ad parameters described above, and connects a visit to the advertisement that produced it.
- ClickBank (privacy policy) — the retailer behind the affiliate links on this site. When you click one of our affiliate links, ClickBank sets its own cookie to record that the referral came from us. That cookie is set by ClickBank on ClickBank's own domain, under ClickBank's policy, not ours.
We also embed fonts served by Google Fonts, which means your browser requests those font files from Google's servers and Google receives your IP address as part of that request.
How to refuse cookies
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, in Settings under Privacy. Blocking them will not break this site — no page here depends on a cookie to display its content. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which discards storage when you close it, or turn on "Do Not Track" or the equivalent tracking protection in your browser.
Affiliate links and advertising
Prime Male Health earns money through affiliate commissions. Some links on this site — currently the links to FlowForce Max — are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the seller pays us a commission, and you pay exactly the same price you would have paid otherwise.
Every affiliate link on this site is labelled as one, on the page, before you click it. Our full position on this is on the about page, and the reasoning behind the ratings we give is in each review.
This site also advertises on third-party platforms, including Google Ads. Those platforms may use their own cookies to measure their own advertising. You can control how Google personalises advertising to you at My Ad Center, and opt out of many other advertising cookies at optout.aboutads.info.
Who your data reaches
The service providers listed above, and nobody else. They process data on our behalf, under their own privacy policies, and they are contractually the only parties with access.
The one exception is a legal one: if we were ever required by law, court order, or a valid request from a public authority to disclose information, we would comply.
How long we keep it
Analytics and attribution data is kept for up to 24 months, then deleted. Advertising attribution data is kept only as long as the advertising campaign it belongs to is being evaluated, which is normally a few months.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us to show you what data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop processing it. If you are in California, that includes the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of its sale — and, as stated above, we do not sell personal information at all. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, it includes the rights granted by the GDPR.
To exercise any of these, write to privacy@primemalehealth.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to ask you for information that lets us identify the records in question, such as the approximate date of your visit.
Children
This site is written for adults, and its subject matter concerns men over 50. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, write to us and we will delete it.
Security
This site is served over HTTPS, so the connection between your browser and our server is encrypted. No site can promise perfect security, and we will not pretend otherwise — but we hold very little about you in the first place, which is the most effective protection there is.
Changes to this policy
If we add a service that collects something new, this page is updated and the date at the top changes. Material changes will be noted at the top of the page. Checking the date is the fastest way to know whether anything has moved.
A reminder that matters more than any of the above
Prime Male Health is an information site, not a medical service. Nothing published here is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified doctor or urologist about your own symptoms, and never delay seeking care because of something you read on this site.
