Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is UrologyAndMensHealth.com, run by Dr. Muhammad Khalid, a urologist licensed by the Irish Medical Council (MBBS, FCPS Urology, MCPS General Surgery, IMC #539472). The site is operated from Pakistan and provides general educational health information, written guides, and self-assessment tools for men’s health to an international audience. It does not provide medical advice or treatment — please read our Medical Disclaimer.

This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over it. If you have any questions, you can reach us through our contact page.

The short version

We keep data collection to a minimum. We do not sell your personal information, and we never ask for sensitive medical or identity details. The calculators and symptom checkers on this site run entirely inside your own browser — the answers you enter are not sent to us or stored on our servers. The only personal information we hold is what you choose to give us, such as an email address when you sign up for a guide or send us a message.

Health tools and calculators — your inputs stay in your browser

Every calculator, scoring instrument, and symptom checker on this site is designed to run client-side, meaning the calculation happens on your own device. The symptoms, scores, measurements, or answers you enter are processed in your browser to produce your result and any downloadable PDF report. This information is not transmitted to our servers, not logged, and not stored by us. When you close the page or refresh it, those inputs are gone.

If a tool generates a PDF report, that file is created inside your browser and saved to your own device. We do not receive a copy.

Separately, some tools offer an optional email sign-up to receive a related guide. If you choose to enter your email there, that single action is handled as described in the “Email sign-ups” section below — it is the only point at which a tool sends any information off your device, and only because you asked it to.

Information you give us

We collect personal information only when you actively provide it:

• Email sign-ups: if you subscribe to a guide or newsletter, we collect the email address (and name, if you provide one) that you enter.
• Contact and forms: if you send us a message through a contact form, we collect the details you submit, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message, so we can reply.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, some technical information is collected automatically when you visit, mainly to keep the site secure, working, and useful:

• Usage and analytics data: pages viewed, time on site, general device and browser type, and an approximate region (such as country), collected through Google Analytics 4.
• Server and security logs: our hosting provider keeps standard access logs, which may include IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting.
• Caching and delivery: our content delivery and caching service processes requests so pages load quickly and reliably.

How we use your information

• To send the guides or newsletter you signed up for, and to reply to messages you send us.
• To understand how the site is used so we can improve the content and tools.
• To keep the site secure and to diagnose technical problems.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. This site uses a limited set:

• Essential cookies needed for the site and its caching to function.
• Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics 4 to measure how the site is used.
• Third-party cookies that may be set when you click an affiliate link (see below).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

Email sign-ups

Our email sign-ups are handled by MailerLite. When you subscribe, your email address (and name, if given) is stored by MailerLite so we can send you the guide you requested and occasional related updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. MailerLite processes this data on our behalf; you can read how they handle it in the MailerLite Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand site traffic in aggregate. It reports on things like which pages are popular and what devices people use. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. You can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy, and you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links through the Amazon Associates Program. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and the third-party site may set its own cookies. This does not change what we recommend — for the full picture, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

Who we share your data with

We share personal information only with the service providers that help us run the site, and only as needed for them to do their job:

• MailerLite — email sign-ups and delivery.
• Google Analytics — site usage measurement.
• Our hosting and content-delivery providers — serving and securing the website.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers to target you.

How long we keep your data

• Email sign-ups: kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove you.
• Messages you send us: kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and a reasonable period afterward.
• Analytics and server logs: kept for a limited period in line with our providers’ standard retention settings.

International data transfers

This site is operated from Pakistan, and our service providers (such as Google and MailerLite) are based in various countries, mainly the United States. This means that if you visit from the EU, UK, or elsewhere, your information may be processed in countries outside your own, including outside the European Economic Area. Wherever your information is handled, we keep it to the minimum described in this policy and rely on providers that apply recognized data-protection safeguards.

Your rights

Under data-protection law, including the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Ask what personal data we hold about you and request a copy.
• Ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
• Ask us to delete your personal data.
• Object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent (for example, by unsubscribing).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page. If you are in the EU or UK and believe we have not handled your data properly, you have the right to complain to your data-protection authority. In Ireland, this is the Data Protection Commission.

Data security

This site is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection, and we take reasonable measures to protect the limited personal information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

This site addresses adult men’s health topics and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or to the law. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
