1) Who we are
AtlantaSTDTesting.com is an independent informational website that publishes educational content about STD/STI testing. We are not a clinic, laboratory, or healthcare provider.
2) Information we collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide: for example, if you email us, submit a contact form, or leave a comment (name, email, message content).
- Basic usage data (server logs): IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, timestamps, and referring/exit pages.
- Cookies & similar technologies: used for site functionality, performance measurement, and affiliate tracking (details below).
We do not ask for medical records or lab results on this website. Please avoid sending sensitive medical details by email.
3) How we use information
We use collected information to:
- Operate and maintain the website (security, troubleshooting, and performance).
- Respond to messages you send us.
- Understand which pages help visitors most (so we can improve clarity and usefulness).
- Measure affiliate link performance (so we can keep disclosures accurate and maintain site funding).
4) Cookies, analytics & affiliate/sponsored links
Like many websites, we and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies. These help with website functionality and understanding site traffic.
Affiliate/sponsored links: Some outbound links are affiliate/sponsored links. When you click them, the partner may place a cookie to attribute a purchase to our website. We label paid links and commonly use link attributes like rel="sponsored nofollow" where applicable.
Analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site (for example, page views and time on page). If you prefer not to be measured by analytics, consider using browser privacy controls, content blockers, or opting out where available.
6) Data retention & security
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above (for example, to respond to inquiries, maintain security logs, and comply with legal obligations).
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7) Your privacy rights & choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how data is used. To make a request, contact us using the information below.
- Opt out of marketing emails: If you receive emails from us, you can unsubscribe where applicable.
- Cookie controls: Use browser controls to manage cookies and site data.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect it where feasible.
For verification and security, we may ask you to confirm your request using the email address you used to contact us.
8) Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
