## Privacy policy

What we collect, why, and what you can ask of us.

Last updated 17 October 2026.

This policy explains what Unpaused collects and why.

### What we collect

We collect no personal data unless you send it to us. Standard server logs (IP address, user agent, page requested) are retained briefly for security and abuse prevention.

When you press Generate summary on the [symptom checklist for your GP](/articles/menopause-symptom-checklist-to-print-and-take-to-your-gp), the answers you ticked or chose (period questions, symptoms with how often and how much they bother you, and which preset questions you picked) are sent to us with no name or contact details. We use them to see which symptoms readers bring to a GP, so we know which guides to write. Notes and questions you type yourself stay in your browser and are not sent.

### How we count visits

We count visits with our own measurement, which stores nothing on your device: no cookies and no persistent identifiers. It tells us which pages were read, where readers came from and which links they followed, so we know what is useful. Some pages may also be measured with Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies under Google's privacy policy.

### Affiliate links

When you follow an outbound affiliate link, the destination may set its own cookies to attribute the referral. That processing is governed by their privacy policy, not ours.

### Your rights

If you are in the EEA or UK, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Write to us and we will respond within one month.

### Contact

Privacy questions: [contact us](/contact).
