Medical information

Hair Cloning Intelligence provides general educational and journalistic information. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and does not establish a clinician–patient relationship. Seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional before making health decisions.

Editorial and commercial disclosures

Company inclusion is not endorsement. Sponsored material, affiliate relationships and referral arrangements will be clearly identified where they appear. Sponsors will not control evidence assessments or editorial conclusions.

Newsletter privacy notice

If you join the Follicle Brief, we process your email address and the time of consent to send the requested publication and document that consent. The legal basis is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time by using the unsubscribe method in a message or contacting us.

Subscriber data is stored using our website infrastructure and will later be transferred to a newsletter provider only when necessary to deliver the service. We do not sell subscriber email addresses. We retain the address until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent or the publication is discontinued, subject to limited records required to demonstrate compliance.

Professional-interest research

If you register interest in a possible professional evidence-monitoring service, we process your email address, professional role, intended use, indicative price range and consent time. We use this information only to assess whether such a service would be useful and, with your consent, to contact you about that research. Registration does not create a purchase or subscription.

The legal basis is your consent. You may withdraw it at any time. We do not sell these records or use them to rank companies or treatments.

Privacy-preserving audience measurement

To understand which content is useful, we maintain aggregated daily counts of page views and selected actions such as newsletter signups, clicks to primary sources, 30-second engagement and whether a page was scrolled to 50 or 90 per cent. The stored analytics record contains the date, page path, event type, referring website domain and country code. Separate daily totals classify the visitor's device broadly as desktop, tablet, mobile or unknown and group the browser's primary language into a limited list.

The analytics table does not contain an IP address, name, email address, raw user-agent string, exact screen size, device identifier or persistent visitor identifier. No analytics cookies are used and the data is not used for behavioural advertising. Visits to our temporary publication hostname and sessions deliberately marked for testing are excluded.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving the publication and measuring whether it serves its audience. You may object by contacting us; because the stored counts are aggregate and contain no visitor identifier, we generally cannot extract or delete activity belonging to one person.

Technical data and external links

Our hosting provider may process ordinary server logs such as IP address, browser information, requested page and timestamp for security and service delivery. These operational logs are separate from our aggregate audience table. External sources linked from this site operate under their own privacy terms. We do not use advertising cookies or behavioural tracking.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to certain processing. You may also lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority. Contact editor@haircloning.info to exercise a right.
