Global Wellness Day protects the integrity of visitors’ information. To us your personal data being processed in an adequate and secure manner is of foremost importance, and we want you to feel confident about how your personal data is being handled. In this privacy policy, we tell you how we do it.
Purpose
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to describe how Global Wellness Day collects, uses and shares information about you through our online interfaces owned and controlled by us, from this website (collectively referred to herein as the “Site”). Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do. If you do not understand any aspects of our Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us at data-protection@globalwellnessday.org.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers information we collect from you through our Site. Most of our Site’s functionality can be used without revealing any personal information, though for asking information from Global Wellness Day through forms, submitting personal information is required. If you do not use these specific features or services on the Site, then the only information we collect will be “Non-Personal Information” (i.e., information that cannot be used to identify you). Non-Personal Information includes information such as the web pages that you have viewed, your IP address, generic information about your web browser, such as its user-agent. To access certain features of our Site, such as asking for information, you may need to submit “Personally Identifiable Information” (i.e., information that can be used to identify you). Personally Identifiable Information can include your name, email address, phone number, and employer name, among other things. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personally Identifiable Information you submit to Global Wellness Day. Inaccurate information may affect your ability to use the Site, the information you receive when using the Site, and our ability to contact you. For example, your email address should be kept current because that is the primary method in which we communicate with you.
What you consent to by using our Site
Please understand that by submitting any Personally Identifiable Information to us, you consent and agree that we may collect, use, and disclose such Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and as permitted or required by law. If you do not agree with these terms, then please do not provide any Personally Identifiable Information to us.
What Information We Collect
We gather two types of information about users through the Site:
Non-Personal Information
When users come to our Site, we may track, collect, and aggregate Non-Personal Information indicating, among other things, which pages of our Site were visited, the order in which they were visited, when they were visited, and which hyperlinks were clicked. We also collect information from the URLs from which you reached to our Site. Collecting such information may involve logging the IP address, operating system and browser software used by each user of the Site. Although such information is not Personally Identifiable Information, we may be able to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet Service Provider and the approximate geographic location of their point of connectivity.
We also use cookies which help us determine and identify repeat visitors, the length of time each user spends at any area of our Site, and the specific functionalities that users choose to use. Essentially, cookies are a user’s identification card for servers. Cookies allow Global Wellness Day to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience at our Site. Cookies are not used to retain Personally Identifiable Information.

If you reside or are located within the European Economic Area and such transfers occur, we take appropriate steps to provide the same level of protection for the processing carried out in any such countries as you would have within the European Economic Area to the extent feasible under applicable law. By using and accessing our site, users who reside or are in countries outside of the European Economic Area agree and consent to the transfer to and processing of personal information on servers located outside of the country where they reside, and that the protection of such information may be different than required under the laws of their residence or location.
