Thrive+40 Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to me. This policy explains, in plain English, what information Thrive+40 collects when you visit thriveplus40.com, how it is used, and the choices you have. Thrive+40 is a wellness education website for women over 40, operated from McKinney, Texas. You can reach us anytime at brenda@thriveplus40.com.

1) Information we collect

Information you give us

Name and email address. When you request a free guide, join the newsletter, or use the contact form, you provide your name and email so we can deliver what you asked for.

Purchase information. When you buy one of our digital guides, your payment is handled by our third-party payment processor. We receive your name, email, and a record of what you purchased so we can deliver your guide and provide support. We never see or store your full credit card number.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we and our service providers collect basic technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and general usage patterns. This happens through cookies and similar technologies and helps us understand how the site is used and keep it working properly.

2) How we use your information

We use the information we collect to deliver the guides and resources you request, send you our email newsletter and occasional offers, process purchases and send receipts and download links, respond to your messages, improve our content and website, and comply with legal obligations. That is it. We do not use your information for anything unrelated to Thrive+40.

3) Email and your inbox

If you sign up for a free guide or the newsletter, you will receive emails from Thrive+40. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and one click removes you from the list. If you make a purchase, we may still send transactional emails, such as your receipt or download link, even if you have unsubscribed from marketing.

4) Who we share information with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Ever. We share it only with the service providers that make this website run: our email and customer relationship platform, our payment processor, our website host (GoDaddy), and basic analytics tools. These providers may only use your information to provide services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

5) Amazon affiliate links

Thrive+40 is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon link on this site, Amazon may place cookies on your device to track the referral. This costs you nothing extra, and I only recommend products I genuinely use or believe in. You can see these recommendations on our My Picks page.

6) Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and remember preferences. We use them for basic site functionality, analytics, and affiliate tracking as described above. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.

7) How long we keep your information

We keep your information for as long as you remain subscribed to our emails or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your information, we will remove it from our active systems within a reasonable time, except where we are required to keep records, such as purchase history for tax purposes.

8) Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message. You can also email brenda@thriveplus40.com to ask what information we hold about you, request a correction, or request deletion. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under local law, and we will honor valid requests.

9) Children

Thrive+40 is built for women over 40. Our website and emails are not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, and our payment processing is handled by providers that specialize in secure transactions. That said, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11) Links to other websites

Our site links to third-party websites, including Amazon and our checkout pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their policies when you visit.

12) Health information disclaimer

Everything on Thrive+40 is educational content, not medical advice. For the full details, see our Terms and Disclaimer.

13) Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will post the new version here with a new Last Updated date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

14) Contact
