Privacy

Simply Nourishment is a small, independent practice. Pooja V. Menon writes the content and runs the site personally. This page is meant to be readable, not legalistic — if you have a question about how your information is handled, you can email Pooja at the address on the contact page.

What this site does and doesn't collect

Tools and calculators

The calculators in /tools run entirely in your browser. The numbers you type — weight, height, age, sex, activity level, formula details — are saved to your browser's local storage under the sn: namespace so they pre-fill on your next visit. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no account. You can clear all saved tool inputs at any time with the Clear saved info button at the bottom of the Tools page, or by clearing site data for simplynourishment.com in your browser settings.

Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-G5PRN9JJM8) to understand which pages people visit, what country they're coming from, and how they found the site. This is loaded only on the production domain (simplynourishment.com / www.simplynourishment.com), not on preview or development builds. GA4 collects aggregated, pseudonymous information — not names, email addresses, or anything you type into the tools. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by using a browser that blocks third-party trackers by default.

Contact form

When you send a message via the contact page, the form passes your name, email, and message to a third-party submission service (the current provider is listed on the contact page). The provider relays the message to Pooja's enquiry inbox at enquiry@simplynourishment.com. Your message is then handled like any other professional email — read, replied to, and retained for the duration of the enquiry plus a reasonable record-keeping period. We don't share these messages with anyone outside the practice. Please avoid sending highly sensitive medical details in the first message; once we have a working email thread, you can share what's relevant for a consultation.

Newsletter (planned)

A periodic newsletter is planned. When it launches, the signup form will use a third-party email provider (such as Beehiiv or similar). If you subscribe, that provider will store your email address and any subscription preferences. You can unsubscribe at any time from a link in any newsletter we send. We will not share, sell, or rent the subscriber list. This page will be updated with the specific provider and a link to its own privacy policy once the newsletter is live.

WhatsApp channel (planned)

A one-way WhatsApp Channel may be added so readers can follow short notes and announcements without DMing. WhatsApp Channels are operated by Meta; if you join, your phone number is visible to Meta under their terms, but not to us — we only see aggregate follower counts and reactions, not individual identities. You can leave the channel at any time from inside WhatsApp.

Cookies

The site itself sets no first-party tracking cookies. Google Analytics sets its own measurement cookies as described above. Browser local storage (used by the tools) is not a cookie and is not transmitted to any server.

What we don't do

  • We don't run third-party advertising.
  • We don't sell, rent, or share visitor data with marketing partners.
  • We don't profile visitors for retargeting.
  • We don't store sensitive medical history in a database — anything you share with Pooja during a consultation is held inside the consultation record under standard dietetic professional confidentiality.

Your rights and choices

You can ask Pooja to confirm what information about you the practice holds, ask for a correction, or ask for it to be deleted. Email enquiry@simplynourishment.com with a short note describing what you'd like, and we'll respond within a reasonable time. If your concern is about data held by Google (analytics) or your future newsletter provider, those operate under their own privacy policies and have their own controls — we can point you to them.

Changes to this page

This is a living document. As tools and channels are added (newsletter, WhatsApp), this page will be updated and the "last updated" date at the top will move. Significant changes — for example, adding a new third-party processor — will be flagged in a short note on the homepage or via the newsletter once it exists.
