By visiting or using Vital Breakthroughs ("the Site"), you agree to the following details below. If you disagree with anything, feel free to close the tab.

1. Personal Info. We may ask for things like your name or email if you sign up, contact us, or comment. We’re not here to harvest your identity. Just trying to talk to humans like humans.

You can totally skip giving us info. That just means some features might not work.

2. Data We Automatically Collect like your browser, device, operating system—all standard. It helps us make sure the Site doesn’t crash and operates optimally for you.

3. Cookies. They're the tiny files that help remember who you are and what you like. You can block them if you want, but the Site might act like it’s meeting you for the first time every visit.

4. Why We Use Your Info It helps us run this place better, answer your questions, and occasionally drop useful stuff in your inbox (you can unsubscribe anytime).

5. Protecting Your Data. We use encryption, secure systems, and the usual digital armour. Your info gets treated better than most people treat their browser tabs (i.e., not left open for weeks).

6. Sharing Info. We don’t sell or rent your info. Sometimes we may share general stats with partners (like, "Hey, 80% of readers live on Earth"), but nothing personally identifying. If we use outside tools, they only get what they need to do their job.

7. Third-Party Links (Click Smart) If we link out to other sites and you click, you’re leaving our bubble. We can’t vouch for what happens over there.

8. Ads. Some third-party ads may show up. They might use cookies to show stuff that’s relevant to you.

9. Kids Under 13. We don’t knowingly collect info from kids. If a kid slips through, we delete it as soon as we find out.

10. Policy Updates This page might change. If we update it, we’ll change the date at the top. Keep browsing and you’re agreeing to the new version, so maybe check in once in a while.

11. You're Good With This? If you keep using the Site, it means you’re cool with how we handle info. If not, that’s okay too. Just step away from the keyboard and we’ll part friends.
