- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages you visit on welltrove.co, entry/exit pages, and time spent on each page
- Referring/exit URLs
- Analytics Tools: We may use Google Analytics (or similar) to track aggregate visitor behavior. This helps us understand user interests and improve site performance.
- Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect:
- Third-Party Data
- When you click on affiliate links (e.g., Amazon Associates), the merchant may collect information about your purchase. We do not receive your purchase details; only a referral ID is sent so we earn a small commission.

- Site Analytics & Performance: To monitor traffic patterns, diagnose technical issues, and optimize user experience.
- Advertising & Affiliate Tracking: To place affiliate links (such as Amazon Associates) and measure referral performance. We do not see your personal purchase details—only that a referral from our site resulted in a sale.
1.3. Cookies & Your Choices
- Cookies: A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps sites recognize you on return visits. We use both session cookies (deleted after you close your browser) and persistent cookies (remain until you delete them or they expire).
- Managing Cookies: You can disable cookies via your browser settings. However, some features of the Website (e.g., remembering your newsletter preference) may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
1.4. Third-Party Services
We partner with third parties (e.g., Google Analytics, Amazon Associates) that may place cookies or use their own tracking methods. For details on how these partners collect and use data, refer to their respective privacy policies:

1.5. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with companies that help us operate the Website (e.g., hosting providers, email-marketing platforms). They are contractually bound to keep your data confidential and use it only to provide the services we request.
- Legal Compliance: If required by law (e.g., a subpoena or court order), we may disclose personal information. We will notify you when possible, unless prohibited by law.
- Business Transfers: If WellTrove is acquired, merges, or sells assets, user information may be transferred to the new owner as part of that transaction. You will receive notice before any such transfer.
1.6. Security
We employ reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., SSL encryption, secure servers) to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure—use discretion when sharing sensitive data.
1.7. Children’s Privacy
WellTrove is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected]. We will delete that information promptly.
