TRANSPARENCY
External Links Policy
See how HealthyFitsMe evaluates external websites, research resources and commercial destinations with a focus on relevance, usefulness and transparency.
Last updated: September 2026
1. Purpose of external links
HealthyFitsMe may link to government resources, scientific literature, recognized organizations, product manufacturers, merchants and other websites when the destination adds useful context to the page.
2. Relevance
We aim to link to pages that are reasonably relevant to the surrounding claim or reader question. We avoid adding external links merely to increase the number of links on a page.
3. Source quality
For research-oriented claims, we prefer appropriate primary or authoritative sources when available. A manufacturer page can be useful for current ingredients, directions or product terms, while it may not be an independent source for claims about effectiveness. The source type should be considered alongside the claim.
4. Accuracy and currency
Web pages change. We may periodically review important external references and may replace or remove links that become broken, materially misleading, irrelevant or unavailable.
5. Commercial websites
Product and merchant links may lead to commercial websites and may include affiliate tracking. Commercial availability does not by itself establish product effectiveness, safety or suitability. Readers should review the current merchant terms, privacy policy, refund policy and product information.
6. Prohibited destinations
We do not intentionally use links to facilitate malware, fraud, illegal activity, harmful exploitation, deceptive schemes, privacy abuse or other content that is inconsistent with the purpose of a reader-focused health information site.
7. User responsibility
When following an external link, readers leave HealthyFitsMe and become subject to the destination site's policies and practices. Check the destination carefully before downloading files, creating an account, providing personal information or making a purchase.
8. Context and attribution
Where a source is important to a claim, we aim to identify or otherwise make the source relationship clear. We do not intend to make an external source appear to have reviewed or approved HealthyFitsMe content unless that actually occurred.
9. Link removal and correction requests
If an external link is broken, misdirected or materially inappropriate for the context, contact us with the HealthyFitsMe page URL and the destination URL. We may review the issue and decide whether to update, replace or remove the link.
10. No guarantee of third-party availability
HealthyFitsMe cannot guarantee that a third-party site will remain online, accurate, secure, free of advertising, or available in a particular country or language.
11. Updates
This policy may be revised as our source practices evolve. The latest published version applies to future external-link decisions.
