Privacy Policy — ChairTaiChi.org

Introduction

Welcome to ChairTaiChi.org, your free resource for chair tai chi exercises, seated movement guides, senior-friendly routines, and related educational content. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, what we do with it, and what we deliberately choose not to collect when you use our website.

ChairTaiChi.org is designed around a simple principle: health information should be easy to reach. Most of our content can be read without creating an account, paying a fee, or giving us personal details. We built the site this way because many people looking for gentle exercise guidance are older adults, caregivers, or beginners who benefit from low-friction access.

If you use ChairTaiChi.org, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We try to collect as little personal information as practical.

1. Basic analytics information

Like most websites, we may collect standard analytics information such as:

• pages visited
• approximate time spent on pages
• device type
• browser type
• referring website
• broad location signals such as country or region

We use this information to understand which pages are helpful, which pages need improvement, and whether the site is functioning properly on desktop and mobile devices. We do not use this information to build a personal health profile about you.

2. Essential preference data

We may store limited browser-side data to remember practical site preferences, such as:

• light or dark theme selection
• interface state needed for normal page behavior
• banner-dismissal preferences if present

This type of data is used to improve the usability of the site rather than to advertise to you.

3. Information you send us directly

If you contact us by email, we may receive:

• your email address
• the content of your message
• any information you choose to include voluntarily

We use that information only to respond to your message, provide support, or understand feedback about our free chair tai chi resources.

What We Intentionally Do Not Collect

ChairTaiChi.org is built to avoid collecting unnecessary personal data. As a general rule, we do not:

• require a login to read our main public content
• require payment details to access our free educational pages
• collect medical records or sensitive health files from users
• ask users to create a detailed personal profile to browse content
• sell personal information to third parties
• run a paid-membership area for the public chair tai chi guides described on the site

Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information associated with the site. These include standard website protections such as HTTPS encryption and normal hosting security practices.

Analytics data may be processed by third-party analytics providers in aggregated or pseudonymous form. Email communications sent directly to us may be stored in the email systems we use to receive and answer messages.

No online system can guarantee absolute security. For that reason, if you do not want to share personal information with us, the best option is simply not to email us and to use the public content anonymously.

Third-Party Services

ChairTaiChi.org includes references to third-party services and third-party content. These may include:

• YouTube videos used to help demonstrate movement pacing or practice style
• health and research references used to support educational claims
• external websites linked from blog posts, resource pages, or footer links

When you click an external link or interact with an embedded service, that third party may collect information according to its own privacy policy. We do not control the policies or practices of external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies directly, especially if you watch embedded videos or move to another website through one of our links.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

ChairTaiChi.org may use small browser-side files or similar mechanisms to keep the site functional and remember limited preferences. We do not position the public informational part of the site as an advertising-tracking product. If our analytics tools place their own technical cookies, those cookies are used for measurement and service improvement rather than to sell you access to the content.

Children's Privacy

ChairTaiChi.org is intended primarily for adults, seniors, caregivers, and general wellness readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to delete it.

International Visitors

If you visit ChairTaiChi.org from outside the jurisdiction where the site is operated, your information may be processed in the countries where our hosting, analytics, or email providers operate. By using the site, you understand that cross-border processing may occur.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the site evolves. If we make material changes, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically if privacy practices are important to you.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights related to your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, or deletion. Because ChairTaiChi.org collects limited data and does not require public account creation for its main content, many privacy risks are reduced by design.

If you contact us and ask us to delete personal information you provided directly by email, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that request unless we need to keep the information for a legitimate operational or legal reason.

Health Content Notice

ChairTaiChi.org publishes educational wellness content, including information about chair tai chi, seated movement, and senior-friendly exercise. Reading our content does not create a doctor-patient relationship, and the site is not a medical records service. Please do not send sensitive medical details unless necessary for a specific support request, and even then, avoid sharing more than needed.
