What Information Do We Collect?

We get it—nobody wants their data floating around without a reason. We only collect what we need to make your experience awesome. Here’s the breakdown:

Stuff You Share with Us:

• Email address: Like when you sign up for our newsletter or send us a message.
• Name (optional): If you share it in a contact form or email.
• Other details: Maybe feedback or survey answers you send our way.

Example: When Sarah signed up for our newsletter, she gave us her email. Now she gets weekly meal prep tips that fit her busy life!

Stuff We Pick Up Automatically:

• IP address, browser type, and device info.
• When you visit, what pages you check out, and how long you stay.
• Where you came from (e.g., a Google search) and where you go next.

We use tools like cookies (tiny files on your device), web beacons, and Google Analytics to grab this info. It helps us make the site faster and more useful.

Example: Cookies let us know Mike loves our workout pages, so we can suggest more fitness tips he’ll enjoy.

Why Do We Collect This Info?

Your data helps us make NineCalories a better place for you. Here’s what we do with it:

• Keep the website running smoothly.
• Improve our content—like adding more recipes if you love cooking.
• Understand what you’re into (e.g., nutrition tips or yoga routines).
• Send you newsletters with tips you’ll love (only if you sign up).
• Answer your questions or help with your goals.
• Keep things secure and spot any funny business (like fraud).

Good news: We don’t sell or rent your info to anyone. Your trust is too important!

Who Do We Share Your Info With?

We only share your data when it’s necessary, and we keep it minimal:

• Trusted Helpers: Companies like Mailchimp (for emails) or Google Analytics (for site stats) help us run things. They follow strict privacy rules.
• Legal Stuff: If a court or law says we have to share, we will.
• Business Changes: If NineCalories is sold or merged, your data might transfer to the new owners (but we’ll let you know).
• Ads (anonymized): We might share grouped data (no names!) with ad partners to show relevant content.

We never share your personal info for someone else’s marketing. Your data stays with us or our trusted crew.

Third-Party Tools We Use

Our site uses a few outside services to work its magic:

• Google Analytics: Tracks site visits anonymously to help us improve.
• Mailchimp or ConvertKit: Sends newsletters if you opt in.
• Affiliate Links (sometimes): If we recommend products, we might earn a small commission.

These tools have their own privacy policies. We suggest checking them out to know how they handle data.

Your Privacy Rights

You’ve got control over your data, and we’re here to help. Depending on where you live, you have different rights:

In the European Union (GDPR):

• See what data we have about you.
• Ask us to fix or delete it.
• Say no to certain data uses.
• Change your mind if you gave us permission to use your info.

How Long Do We Keep Your Data?

We hold onto your info only as long as we need it—like to answer your questions or send newsletters. After that, we delete it securely or make it anonymous. If the law says we have to keep it longer, we follow those rules.

How Do We Keep Your Info Safe?

We use top-notch security to protect your data, like encryption and secure servers. But here’s the deal: no website is 100% hack-proof. We do our best, but you use the site at your own risk. If something ever goes wrong, we’ll let you know fast.

Kids and Privacy

Our site is for grown-ups, not kids under 13. We don’t collect info from children on purpose. If we find out a kid’s data slipped through, we delete it right away.

Links to Other Sites

We might link to cool stuff like recipes or fitness tools on other websites. Those sites have their own privacy rules, and we’re not responsible for them. Check their policies before sharing your info.

Changes to This Policy

We might tweak this policy now and then to keep it fresh. If we do, we’ll update the date at the top and post the new version here. Keep using the site, and you’re agreeing to the updates. We’ll let you know if anything big changes!
