Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 28 July 2026
Vakisa ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website to provide educational information about sports supplement labeling and research literacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the site, how we use it, and the choices available to you. This policy is written to comply with applicable US privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and general Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidance on online data practices.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in two general ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through your use of the site.
| Category of Data | Examples | Purpose of Collection |
|---|---|---|
| Contact information | Name, email address, phone number | Responding to inquiries submitted through the contact form |
| Message content | Text entered into the contact form message field | Understanding and responding to your specific question |
| Technical data | IP address, browser type, device type, referring page | Site security, troubleshooting, and aggregate usage analysis |
| Cookie data | Consent preferences, session identifiers | Remembering your cookie choices and site functionality |
2. How We Use Information
Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use contact form submissions for automated marketing campaigns. Technical and cookie data collected automatically is used to maintain site security, diagnose technical issues, and understand general, aggregated usage patterns of the website, where you have consented to non-essential cookies.
3. Legal Basis and Consent
Where non-essential cookies or analytics are used, we rely on your consent, obtained through the cookie banner presented on your first visit. You may withdraw or adjust this consent at any time through the cookie policy page. Necessary cookies required for basic site functionality do not require consent under applicable guidance.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information, as that term is defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We may share limited technical data with service providers who help operate the website (such as hosting providers), under obligations to protect that data. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Vakisa, our users, or the public.
5. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to: request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your personal information, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 8 below.
6. Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes. Cookie consent preferences are retained according to the durations described in our Cookie Policy.
7. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
