This section explains how these services collect and process data, ensuring compliance with U.S. privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other relevant regulations.

Data Processing & Compliance
BlockHealth follows best practices for data security. While Google Analytics processes data on our behalf, users have control over their privacy settings.
Legal Basis
Opt-Out Options
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:
- Adjusting your cookie settings in your browser
