Sexual Health Privacy Policy
Our commitment to discreet, low-profiling sexual health exploration — and a plain-English account of what this site does and does not collect.
We recognise that sexual health searches and wellness enquiries are deeply personal. This sexual health privacy policy explains how Openlywell handles sensitive data, and the site is designed with privacy-first principles from the ground up.
Sensitive data and data minimisation
- No sensitive behavioural ad tracking: We do not pass your sexual health search queries or article viewing history to third-party advertising brokers or social media pixels.
- De-identified question submissions: Any question submitted through our intake forms is automatically stripped of identifying metadata prior to editorial consideration.
- No medical document collection: We do not request, accept, or store photos of genitalia, lab reports, or identity documents.
- Data minimisation by default: We ask for the least information needed to answer an editorial enquiry, and nothing at all to read a guide.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Openlywell uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are read, and how people arrive — so we know which guides to improve. Pages also display advertising from a third-party ad network, which supports the cost of keeping every guide free to read. These third parties set their own cookies and are governed by their own privacy policies. If you would rather browse without them, a browser-level content blocker or private window will suppress both.
Private browsing and quick exit
Every page carries an accessible Quick Exit button that lets you leave the site instantly and replace the browser state. For fully private browsing, open Openlywell in your browser's private or incognito window — nothing is written to your normal history.
