Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 21, 2026
Her Stronger Self is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use our website and related services.
1. Introduction
This policy applies to visitors, registered users, newsletter subscribers, and community contributors. By using the services, you agree that your information is handled as described in this policy and in applicable law.
2. Services Covered
The services include health and wellness articles, recipes, fitness content, community areas, shop and affiliate links, newsletter subscriptions, contact forms, user accounts, and related security features such as session and CSRF protection.
3. Information We Collect
We may collect account data (name and email), profile details, optional preferences, support messages, community posts and reviews, and technical data such as IP address, device/browser information, and service interaction data.
4. Sources of Information
We collect information directly from you, automatically from your device while you use the site, and from service providers that support account authentication, payments, infrastructure hosting, and content delivery.
5. How We Use Information
We use personal information to provide and improve services, secure accounts, prevent abuse, process subscriptions and donations, respond to requests, localize content, and meet legal obligations.
6. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/EEA/UK)
Where EU/EEA/UK law applies, we process data under one or more legal bases: consent (for optional cookies and marketing), contract performance (to provide requested services), legitimate interests (security and service improvement), and legal obligations.
7. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal data. We may share data with vetted processors under contract, with authorities when legally required, and in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset transfers subject to legal safeguards.
8. International Transfers
Information may be processed outside your country. When required, we apply safeguards such as contractual protections and processor commitments designed to provide an equivalent level of data protection.
9. Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, including account operation, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and enforcement. Retention periods vary by data type and legal requirements.
10. Your Privacy Rights (EU + US States)
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data; limit or object to processing; withdraw consent; and, in certain US states, request information about sharing for targeted advertising and exercise do-not-sell/share style rights where applicable.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided us data, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
12. Cookies, Tracking, and Third-Party Embeds
Necessary cookies are always active for essential functionality. Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are optional and managed through our consent banner and preferences modal. Third-party embeds such as YouTube players and Stripe pricing components are blocked until marketing consent is granted.
13. Security, Updates, and Contact
We use technical and organizational safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure. We may update this policy and will update the date shown above. For privacy requests, complaints, or regulator-related questions, contact privacy@herstrongerself.com.
