Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Doctor Scroll, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Data we collect

Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect only your email address. This data is managed through a third-party newsletter service provider (for example, Substack, Mailchimp, or similar).

Browsing data: We use Umami Analytics, a privacy-respecting web analytics service. Umami does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable data. It only collects aggregated and anonymous metrics such as:

• Number of visitors
• Pages visited
• Approximate location (country)
• Device and browser (without personal identification)

We do NOT use:

• Third-party tracking cookies
• Tracking pixels
• Personally identifiable data for analytics

3. Purpose of processing

The data we collect serves the following purposes:

• Email (newsletter): To send content about digital detox, neuroscience, and mental health. You can unsubscribe at any time using the links in each email.
• Browsing data (Umami): To improve content and user experience, understand which pages are most useful, and optimize site performance.

4. Legal basis for processing

The processing of your data is based on:

• Newsletter: Your explicit consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR)
• Analytics (Umami): Our legitimate interest in improving the service (Art. 6.1.f GDPR), always respecting your privacy through privacy-friendly solutions

5. Recipients

Newsletter: Your email is shared only with the newsletter service provider we use. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with third parties for marketing purposes.

Analytics: Anonymous Umami data is stored on servers under our control. It is not shared with third parties.

6. International transfers

If we use a newsletter provider with servers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that adequate safeguards (EU standard contractual clauses) are in place to protect your data.

7. Data retention

Newsletter: Your email is retained for as long as you maintain your subscription. You can unsubscribe at any time and it will be removed from our list.

Analytics: Anonymous Umami data is retained indefinitely for historical analysis, but it contains no personally identifiable information.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Rectification: Request the correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure: Request the deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")

We only use essential technical cookies required for the basic functioning of the site (for example, light/dark theme preferences), which are stored locally in your browser and are not shared with third parties.
