Purpose of this policy
This site exists to share my personal experiences of living with multiple sclerosis. It isn’t a business, a clinic, or a data-gathering operation. This policy explains—in plain English—what little information is collected when you visit MyMSisMe and how it’s handled.
What data is collected
- Analytics: Anonymous statistics about which pages are read and for how long (via standard WordPress analytics or Rank Math insights). No health information or personal identifiers are stored.
- Comments & forms: If you leave a comment or use a contact form, your name, email address and comment text are stored so the site can display or reply to you.
- Email subscriptions: If you choose to subscribe, your email address is used only to send new-post notifications. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- Cookies: Small text files may help the site remember your preferences or count visits. They are not used for personalised advertising.
How data is used
Collected information is used only to:
- Understand which topics readers find useful;
- Keep the site running smoothly; and
- Respond to comments or messages.
I do not sell, rent, or share data with anyone.
Third-party links
Occasionally I link to trusted resources such as the MS Society or NHS pages. Once you leave MyMSisMe, their privacy policies apply.
Your rights
You can:
- Request to see any personal information held about you;
- Ask for corrections or deletion;
- Withdraw consent at any time.
Simply use our contact page and I’ll respond as quickly as MS allows.
Changes to this policy
Minor adjustments may be made over time to keep this page accurate. Significant updates will be dated above.
