Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what control you have over your data.

The Short Version

We collect basic analytics data to understand how people use our site. We use cookies for functionality and analytics. We don't sell your personal information.

How We Share Your Information

Service Providers We Use

We share limited data with these categories of service providers:

Hosting & Infrastructure: Our web hosting provider processes all site traffic and may log IP addresses for security.

Analytics: Google Analytics receives anonymized usage data. We've configured it to anonymize IP addresses and respect Do Not Track signals.

Email Services: If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email is stored with our email service provider (e.g., ConvertKit, Mailchimp).

Affiliate Networks: When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may receive standard referral information (which link you clicked, general location). They don't receive personal information we've collected.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by:

• Valid court orders or subpoenas
• Law enforcement requests with proper legal authority
• Investigations of fraud or security incidents
• Legal obligations to prevent harm

We'll resist overly broad requests and notify you when legally permitted.

Affiliate Relationships

We earn commissions when you use our affiliate links. The companies we link to may use their own cookies and tracking. Once you leave our site, their privacy policies apply, not ours. We don't control their data practices.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to telehealth providers, pharmacies, and other services. We don't control their privacy practices. Before sharing personal information with them, review their privacy policies.

Our affiliate relationships don't give us access to your information with those providers. If you create an account with a provider we link to, that's a direct relationship between you and them.

Changes to This Policy

We'll update this policy when our practices change. We'll note the "Last Updated" date at the top. For material changes, we'll post a notice on the site.

Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

International Users

This site is operated from the United States. If you're accessing from elsewhere, your information may be transferred to and processed in the US, where privacy laws may differ from your country.

By using this site, you consent to this transfer and processing.

Children's Privacy

This site isn't intended for anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you're a parent and believe your child provided us information, contact us immediately and we'll delete it.

GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs for adults. If you're under 18, talk to your parents and doctor—not random websites.
