Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We keep data collection deliberately small. We collect information you give us directly — for example your name, email address and message when you use our contact form — and limited technical information generated automatically when you browse the site, such as pages viewed, approximate region, referring source and device type.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Reply to questions, corrections and product suggestions
• Understand which reviews and guides readers find useful
• Keep the site secure, fast and free of abuse
• Meet legal, tax and affiliate-programme obligations

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for basic site function, aggregate traffic measurement and affiliate click attribution. Affiliate networks set their own cookies when you click out to a merchant, which is how a commission is attributed to us if you later buy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, but affiliate attribution may not register.

Affiliate partners and third parties

The Wellness Bench is affiliate-supported. When you click a product link we may send that partner a referral identifier. Partners and networks — including ClickBank, JVZoo and individual brand programmes — process your purchase under their own privacy policies. We never receive your full payment card details.

We do not sell personal information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the site (hosting, email, analytics), and only to the extent needed to provide those services.

Data retention

Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months so we can follow up on corrections, then deleted. Aggregate analytics data, which is not tied to an identifiable person, may be retained longer.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal information, or to object to certain processing. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and the right to delete. To exercise any of these rights, contact us and we will respond within the timeframe required by law.

Children

The Wellness Bench is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change how we handle personal information we will update this page and revise the date above.
