We understand the importance of privacy and are committed to protecting our visitors’ personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide when you visit our website.
- Information Collection and Use
1.1. Personal Information
When you visit Autoinflammatorydiseases.org, we may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide through our contact forms or subscription features. We will use this information solely for the purpose for which it was provided, such as responding to inquiries, delivering requested content, or sending newsletters.
1.2. Log Data
Like many websites, we collect certain information automatically when you visit Autoinflammatorydiseases.org. This information may include your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movement around the site, and gather demographic information. Reports may be aggregated, but underlying technical records such as IP addresses are not necessarily anonymous.

Autoinflammatorydiseases.org may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help improve website functionality and provide analytics data. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that declining cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our website.
- Third-Party Disclosure
Service providers process information needed to operate this website. The site uses WordPress, hosting through Porkbun, and Automattic services including Jetpack forms, subscriptions and statistics and Akismet spam filtering. For example, subscribing provides your email address to the subscription service; submitting editorial feedback provides the form contents and technical data used to process the submission and check for spam. Feedback is stored in the website administration system and sent to the editor through email, using Gmail. See Automattic’s notice for site visitors and the Jetpack Privacy Center for details about those services.
- Data Security
We employ appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
- Links to External Websites
Autoinflammatorydiseases.org may contain links to external websites that we do not operate. We have no control over the content and practices of these websites and are not responsible for their privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
- Children’s Privacy
Autoinflammatorydiseases.org is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Please do not submit a child’s identifying health information through the editorial feedback form or subscription features.
- Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on Autoinflammatorydiseases.org. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect your information.
By using Autoinflammatorydiseases.org, you consent to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Editorial feedback, subscriptions and medical privacy
Public article comments are closed. Previously approved comments and link notifications have been moved to private moderation rather than deleted. The editorial feedback form accepts topic suggestions, corrections and feedback about the website. A name is not requested and an email address is optional. Submissions are not published as comments; they are stored in the website administration system and emailed to the editor. Do not submit identifying medical information, completed symptom diaries or urgent requests. This educational website is not a secure clinical messaging service.
You can unsubscribe using the link in subscription emails. For a privacy question or a request concerning your feedback submission, use the editorial form and identify the submission without including medical information.
Downloaded diaries can be completed on paper or your device and shared directly with your care team. The download itself does not submit your completed diary to this site.
