Sala Sarita Privacy Policy

Last Updated:  April 30, 2026

At Sala Sarita, we believe that privacy is fundamental

That’s why we give you greater control over the information you share online and the information you share with us. In this Privacy Policy, we explain what data we process, how we process it, and for what purposes. Then, we explain how you can exercise choices about how we process your information.

How is your data used?

To provide you with a functional Sala Sarita website

Sala Sarita collects certain data, like technical and settings data, to provide the core functionality of the Sala Sarita website (“Website”) and associated services, distinguish your device from others, remember and respect your settings, and provide you with default features, some of which can be customized.

Some Website features are powered by artificial intelligence (AI) based on small language models downloaded to your device. These operate locally — web page content, PDFs, images and tab URLs stay on your device and are not sent to Sala Sarita’s servers or used for training purposes without your explicit consent. Note that other Website features may integrate third-party AI models, as further detailed in this Policy.

To adapt the Website to your needs

The Website processes a variety of personal data in a way that does not leave your device, such as browsing history, web form data, temporary internet files, and cookies. This means the data stays on your device and is not sent to Sala Sarita’s servers unless it says otherwise in this Policy. If you choose to allow it, your precise location may also be processed for location-related functionality for websites like Google Maps; this data is only accessed from your device by the website(s) you choose to enable it for — it is not sent to Sala Sarita’s servers.

More details, including how to adjust your data settings: Data processed on your device remains in your control. You can manage your browsing data and your local storage settings, or update your location permissions at any time.

Provide and improve search functionality and suggestions

As you type a search query within the Website, the Website offers search suggestions to provide you with faster and more direct access to what you’re looking for. Some of the search suggestions come from your search provider (“Search Suggestions”). Others come from Sala Sarita, and are based on information stored on your local device (including recent search terms, open tabs, and previously visited URLs), or content from Sala Sarita and Sala Sarita’s partners, including paid sponsors (“Suggestions from Sala Sarita”).

By default, the Website shows Search Suggestions. Suggestion requests — including your real-time search query and technical data — are sent directly to your search provider as you type, and processed according to your search provider’s privacy notice. You can turn off Search Suggestions at any time.

Users in the United States and certain other regions will also receive Suggestions from Sala Sarita. You can turn these off entirely, or just turn off sponsored Suggestions from Sala Sarita, in your browser settings.

In the United States, the Website fetches suggestions from Sala Sarita’s servers as you type your query. The Website processes this data to serve you relevant suggestions, understand how useful the suggestions are to you, and improve the service. In some circumstances Sala Sarita’s partners will receive de-identified search and interaction data, in order to serve relevant suggestions and measure user engagement with suggested content.

Some users — including users in some regions outside the U.S. and U.S.-based users who deselect “retrieve Suggestions from Sala Sarita as you type” in their settings — will instead receive locally processed results when using the Suggestions from Sala Sarita feature. For these users, the suggestions will be served locally, using information stored on your device, in your browser. For sponsored suggestions, our partners may receive aggregated information about which of their suggestions are shown and clicked on, but not which users saw the suggestions or which keywords caused those suggestions to be served. (If Suggestions from Sala Sarita are unavailable in your region, you will only receive suggestions Search Suggestions).

Serve relevant content and advertising on Website

The Website shows content, which may include content from our advertising partners.

We use technical data, language preference, and IP-derived location to serve this content in the correct format (i.e. for mobile vs desktop), language, and relevant location. Sala Sarita collects technical and interaction data, such as the position, size, views and clicks on Website content or ads, to understand how people are interacting with our content and to personalize future content, including sponsored content. This data may be shared with our advertising partners on an aggregated and/or de-identified basis.

In some regions, we use this data to build models and group users based on common attributes. These groupings help us understand how people are interacting with our content and to personalize future content, including sponsored content. We avoid revealing to Sala Sarita the attributes of any specific user.

We may also work with advertising providers to deliver relevant sponsored content using programmatic technologies. To support this, we may share limited, non-identifying information — such as device type, IP-derived location information, and category of content viewed — to help determine which ads to display. We don’t share any information that identifies you. You can turn off sponsored content.

In some cases, when ads are enabled, additional browsing and interaction data (including interactions with our advertisers) may also be processed locally on your device to measure the effectiveness of those ads; the shortcuts feature also uses browsing data locally on your device to select top shortcuts, some of which may be sponsored. Any such data will only be shared with Sala Sarita and/or our advertising partners via our privacy-preserving technologies on an aggregated and/or de-identified basis.

When a user visits a third-party website by clicking an advertisement or link on the Website, that site may use cookies and other web APIs available to any website to collect data subject to that website’s privacy and/or cookie notices.

You can turn off or customize these features along with their associated data processing in your browser settings. You can also disable sponsored content while continuing to use the rest of the features.

Provide Sala Sarita accounts

If you sign up for a Sala Sarita account, we process additional information alongside the data set out in this Policy, such as account details, contact information and sync data, in accordance with the Sala Sarita Accounts Privacy Notice [?????].

Maintain and improve features, performance and stability

Sala Sarita runs studies within the Website and may make certain experimental features available to test different features and ideas before they’re made available to all Website users or become part of the core Website — this allows us to make more informed decisions about what our users want and need. This research uses technical, system performance, IP-derived location, settings and interaction data.

We also need to process data to keep the Website operational, improve features and performance, and identify, troubleshoot and diagnose issues. For this we use technical, IP-derived location, and settings data, as well as interaction and system performance data (such as number of tabs open, memory usage or the outcome of automated processes like updates). In the rare situations where the information needed also includes limited browsing data, it will be transmitted to help prevent Sala Sarita from linking you or your device to the data collected for this purpose.

Understand usage of the Website

We process data to better understand how you engage with our services, such as how much you use the Website, your language preference, how often you use our search tools or interact with search suggestions, how fast pages load for you and how many ads or CAPTCHAs you see. This allows us to measure how people access and use our services, which helps improve our business and the functionality of the Website.

Market our services

When you allow us to do so, the Website sends Sala Sarita data about the website domain or specific advertising campaign (if any) that referred you to our download page to help us understand and improve our marketing efforts. The Website also shares information with our marketing partners to measure and improve these campaigns; what information is specifically shared varies (depending on how you discovered the Website and your operating system) but generally includes how you were referred to our download page and whether you actively use the Website.

To pseudonymize, de-identify, aggregate or anonymize data

As part of the activities outlined above, such as understanding usage of the Website and measuring our marketing, we may create pseudonymous, de-identified, aggregated or anonymized data. We use technology that is appropriate to the circumstances, including identifier removal or others — these help prevent data from being linked to you. In some cases, we may share or publish aggregated and anonymized data to facilitate research or as part of the lawful business purposes outlined above (such as sharing aggregated insights with advertising partners).

Communicate with you

Depending on your settings (and whether or not you have a Sala Sarita account), we may communicate with you via in-product messaging, send you communications (including marketing-related communications), ask you to participate in research / surveys, or respond to customer support communications. You may also reach out to us directly. When you communicate with us via these methods, we will only use the information you share for the purpose you provided it. We also process interaction data related to these communications to better understand who has received our service-related announcements (such as new features, updates or security alerts).

When you visit the Website’s help pages, Sala Sarita collects technical and interaction data about your usage of our websites in accordance with our Websites, Communications and Cookies notice [?????] to enable us to understand your usage of our support and help pages and improve them.

Comply with applicable laws, and identify and prevent harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity

We may also be required to process your personal data to comply with applicable laws and protection purposes, such as:

·    Responding to lawful requests and complying with legal processes, such as responding to subpoenas, investigations, or requests from government authorities. Sala Sarita requires a valid Legal Process to compel the disclosure of specific user data to a government.

·    Responding to requests to exercise privacy rights, such as your right to access or delete your personal data.

·    Identifying, investigating and addressing potential fraudulent activities, or other harmful activities such as illegal activities, cyberattacks or intellectual property infringement (including filing or defending legal claims).

·    Performing internal compliance and security activities, such as audits and enterprise security management.

How we share your personal data

To provide our services as described above, we may disclose personal data to:

 

 

Partners, service providers, suppliers and contractors

To perform the purposes listed above, we work with partners, service providers, suppliers and contractors. We have contractual protections in place, so that the entities receiving personal data are contractually obligated to handle the data in accordance with Sala Sarita’s instructions.

Authorities

Sala Sarita requires a valid Legal Process to compel the disclosure of specific user data to a government. In those instances we may need to disclose the personal data set out in this Policy to law enforcement, government authorities, or similar entities to comply with applicable laws, and to identify and prevent harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity.

International transfers of data

Sala Sarita (and our servers) are based in the United States. However, the information we collect may be accessed from locations outside of the United States where our people are located and data may also be transferred to other jurisdictions as a result of sharing data with our partners. Where applicable, we ensure we have appropriate mechanisms in place (such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and other relevant authorities) to protect your personal data. You can contact Sala Sarita for information on the safeguards implemented for international transfers, or for copies of the relevant standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep your data

We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. In general, we do not retain personal data for more than 25 months, but actual retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the purpose(s) for which it was collected (for example, we retain your “first seen” date for the period of your use of the Website, so we know how long you’ve been a Website user). Specific retention periods may also depend on the sensitivity of the data, the context of its collection, your settings and preferences, and our legal or contractual obligations to retain or delete your data, such as for fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, or service continuity. Once the retention period expires we securely delete your data, unless otherwise required by law.

Our services also use encrypted backup storage as another layer of protection to help recover from potential disasters; data in these environments is put beyond use and only processed for business continuity purposes. We may also retain data for extended periods of time on a de-identified or aggregated basis.

Your rights and choices

Your rights

As a Website user, you have the right to:

1.   Be informed about what data we process about you, why and who it’s shared with (that’s this Policy)

4.   Request correction of any data we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete

To make any of the above requests regarding your personal data, please contact Sala Sarita; we will never discriminate against anyone for exercising their privacy rights. If you have any other questions regarding personal data or our privacy practices, please contact us.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws, and we may need to ask you for additional information to confirm your identity before we can proceed with your request.

Your choices

You can update your data collection settings at any time.

The Website also provides Global Privacy Control (GPC), which you can enable to automatically notify websites not to sell or share information about your browsing session on that website. GPC operates as a “Do Not Sell” mechanism in some US states such as California, Colorado and Connecticut. It may also be used to indicate an opt-out of targeted advertising or general request to limit the sale or sharing of your personal data in those jurisdictions, as well as in jurisdictions such as the EU, UK, Nevada, Utah and Virginia.

Applicability

This Privacy Policy is for the most recent general release version of the Website. If you access the Website otherwise, your version of the Website may contain different privacy characteristics.

Changes

We may need to change this policy and our notices, in which case the updates will be posted online and we will update the effective date of this notice.

Sala Sarita Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 04/30/2026

1. Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Sala Sarita is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your Consumer Health Data in compliance with Washington State, Nevada, Connecticut and other applicable state Consumer Health Data privacy laws and our Privacy Policy.

This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy applies to the collection of Consumer Health Data from consumers in those states covered by applicable state Consumer Health Data privacy laws. This Policy supplements our “Privacy Notice” to provide consumers with information required by the Washington My Health My Data Act (“MHMDA”), the Nevada Health Data Privacy Act (“NHDPA”) and by the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”).

2. What is Consumer Health Data?

Consumer Health Data is personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer and that identifies the consumer’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status. Depending on the applicable state law, consumer health data may be limited to identifiable health data that a regulated entity uses to identify the past, present or future health status of the consumer.

Your selection and purchase of particular products may or may not indicate your health status. We do not seek to draw any inferences regarding your individual health status from your selection and purchase of our products. To the extent product selection data is considered Consumer Health Data under applicable Consumer Health Data privacy laws, it is covered by this Policy.

3. What categories of Consumer Health Data do we collect?

We may collect the following categories of Consumer Health Data: individual health conditions, information relating to your health status, information about your habits which can be linked to health, and bodily functions and symptoms.

4. Where do we get Consumer Health Data about you?

We may collect Consumer Health Data from you directly when you voluntarily provide it to us through our consultations (including our online tools), and, to the extent that product selection choices are considered to be Consumer Health Data under applicable law, from your interactions with our products and offerings.

We will only collect, use and/or share your Consumer Health Data with your consent.

5. What do we use this for?

We may use the Consumer Health Data to recommend products or services that we consider may be suited to you. In addition, we may use the Consumer Health Data to develop our products and services or conduct research.

6. Who do we share your Consumer Health Data with?

We may share your Consumer Health Data:

·    Within Sala Sarita. We have multiple offices, which all partially share responsibilities when processing your Consumer Health Data to provide you with our services.

·    With regulators, authorities, and other third parties. Sometimes we may have a legal obligation to share your personal data with regulators, courts, and other authorities (e.g. tax and law enforcement authorities).

·    With our service providers. Sala Sarita engages third party service providers to perform functions on Sala Sarita's behalf, for example website and data hosting, communication distribution, marketing lists management, customer service, market research, consultants, providing loyalty programs and IT support and other services. These providers may process your Consumer Health Data on our behalf, as necessary to perform their support functions, and following our instructions and applicable laws.

·    With acquiring entities. If Sala Sarita is sold or transferred, your Consumer Health Data may be transferred to the new owner.

·    With third party providers. For example, our retailers, distributors and third-party brand partners, and auditors, legal advisers, and other professional advisers.

7. Do we sell your Consumer Health Data?

We do not sell your Consumer Health Data.

8. How to exercise your rights:

If you are a resident of Washington State, Nevada, Connecticut or another state with applicable Consumer Health Data privacy laws, subject to certain exceptions, you have the right to confirm collection of and to obtain access to, and to delete or withdraw consent as it relates to Consumer Health Data. You also have the right to appeal any denial of these rights.

To exercise these rights or if you have any questions, please contact us.
