Privacy & Data Policy

Effective Date: February 2026

At One’s Best Self, we apply the same rigor to data privacy as we do to longevity science. This policy outlines how we handle information and protect your digital footprint while you interact with our protocols.

1. Data Collection & Usage

• Comments: When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the form, along with the IP address and browser user agent string to facilitate spam detection.

• Media: If you upload images to the site, ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as this can be extracted by other visitors.

• Newsletter: When you join The Newsletter, we collect your professional email address solely for the purpose of delivering our briefing.

2. Cookie Architecture

We use cookies to enhance your experience and maintain site performance:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies used during login and site navigation to determine browser compatibility.

• User Preference Cookies: Used to remember your details (with your consent) for future comments or display preferences.

• Duration: Authentication cookies typically persist for two days, while display preference cookies last for one year.

3. Third-Party Integration

• Embedded Content: Articles on this site may include embedded content (videos, images, etc.) from external sources. These behave exactly as if you visited the third-party site directly and may collect data or use tracking according to their own independent policies.

• Spam Detection: We utilize automated services to check visitor comments for spam.

4. Data Retention & Your Rights

• Retention: Comments and metadata are retained indefinitely to streamline follow-up interactions. For registered users, personal information is stored within their user profile.

• Your Rights: You have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold or request the erasure of your data. This excludes data we are legally obligated to maintain for administrative or security purposes.
