Introduction

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Apitheo collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the website located at https://apitheo.com ("Site"). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all educational content, resources, and reviews offered by Apitheo.

Data Collection Limits

At Apitheo, we believe in collecting as little personal data as possible to deliver our editorial publication. We do not require account registration, newsletter sign-ups, or social media logins to access our material. We do not collect names, home addresses, or phone numbers unless you contact us directly via email.

Analytics and Tracking Cookies

To analyze site traffic, optimize desktop and mobile readability layouts, and understand which botanical classes interest our readers, we may utilize privacy-preserving web analytics cookies. These cookies track anonymous technical telemetry data, such as:

• Your approximate geographic region (country or city level).
• Your browser version, operating system, and screen resolution.
• The pages you visit and the duration of your reading sessions.

Affiliate Network Cookies

Apitheo participates in partner and merchant affiliate programs (such as the Amazon Associates Program and other independent apicultural merchant networks). When you click on an outbound affiliate link on our site, a tracking cookie is temporarily placed on your device by the merchant network to attribute any resulting purchase to Apitheo.

These cookies do not contain identifiable personal information and are governed strictly by the respective merchant’s privacy structures. You can easily disable or clear cookie-tracking within your browser’s advanced settings.

US Regional Compliance (CCPA/CPRA)

For readers residing in California and other US states with strict privacy boundaries:

• Right to Know: You have the right to confirm what data we collect (as disclosed above, we only collect anonymized analytical traffic data).
• Right to Delete: Since we do not store identifiable personal accounts or email databases, we have no profile databases to delete.
• Do Not Sell My Info: Apitheo does not sell, rent, or lease consumer profiles to third-party data brokers under any circumstances.

Third-Party Links

Our articles contain direct links to external websites, including authorized merchants and published scientific references. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content quality of external sites.
