- Contact: hello@recoverymath.com
1. What we collect
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address (and first name, if you give it) | You sign up for the newsletter or the Recovery Setup Planner | To send the planner, the newsletter and deal alerts you asked for |
| Interest tags (e.g. “sauna”, “cold plunge”) | Based on the page or form you signed up from, and the links you click in our emails | To send you more relevant emails |
| Messages | You email us or use the contact form | To reply |
| Calculator inputs | You use a calculator | Calculations run in your browser. We don’t store your inputs unless you ask us to email you the result, in which case we send them with that email |
| Usage data: pages viewed, referring site, device and browser type, approximate location (city/region from IP), clicks on outbound links | You browse the site | To understand what’s useful, fix problems and measure which pages lead to purchases |
| Server logs: IP address, browser, time of request | Every visit (our host does this automatically) | Security and troubleshooting |
We don’t knowingly collect sensitive information, and we don’t ask for health information. Please don’t send us any.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
| Type | Who | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate traffic statistics. Google may set cookies such as _ga. See how Google uses data |
| Affiliate tracking | Impact, Awin, Social Snowball, Amazon Associates, Levanta and direct brand programs | When you click an affiliate link, the network or retailer sets a cookie or reads a link ID to credit us if you buy. These cookies are set on the retailer’s or network’s domain, under their privacy policies |
| beehiiv | Newsletter delivery, open and click measurement | |
| Site function | WordPress / our host | Security, caching, remembering that you closed a banner |
| Advertising (only if and when we run ads) | Meta, Pinterest, Google Ads | To measure ad results and show our ads to people who visited the site. We’ll update this policy and add an opt-out control before any of these go live |
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking affiliate cookies doesn’t change the price you pay; it only means we may not get credit.
Google Search Console gives us aggregate search data (queries, clicks). It doesn’t set cookies on your device.
3. How we use information
- To deliver the newsletter, the planner and any email you request.
- To run, secure and improve the site and calculators.
- To measure which content and links are useful, including affiliate click and commission reports. These are aggregate reports; networks don’t give us your name or what you bought beyond order-level data like product and amount.
- To comply with law and enforce our Terms.
We don’t sell your personal information for money. We don’t share your email address with brands.
4. Who we share with (service providers)
- Hostinger (website hosting)
- beehiiv (email)
- Google (Analytics, Search Console)
- Affiliate networks and retailers (as described above)
- Professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires it.
If the business is sold or merged, information may transfer to the new owner under this policy.
5. Email choices
Every email has an unsubscribe link that works immediately, or you can email hello@recoverymath.com. Our emails include our postal address as required by the CAN-SPAM Act.
6. Your privacy rights (US)
Depending on your state (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon and others with consumer privacy laws), you may have the right to:
- know and access the personal information we hold about you;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- get a copy in a portable format;
- opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising, and of profiling;
- not be discriminated against for using these rights.
California residents:
- In the past 12 months we have collected the categories in section 1: identifiers, internet activity, approximate geolocation, and inferences (interest tags).
- We have not sold personal information for money.
- If we run ad pixels, that may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can opt out by emailing us with the subject “Do not sell or share”. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as an opt-out.
To use any right, email hello@recoverymath.com with the subject “Privacy request”.
- We’ll verify your request by confirming access to the email address involved, and respond within the time the law requires (generally 45 days).
- An authorised agent may make a request for you with your written permission.
- If we deny your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision. We’ll answer the appeal within the legal time limit.
7. How long we keep it
- Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe, plus a short period to honour the unsubscribe.
- Messages: up to 2 years.
- Analytics: 14 months (GA4 setting).
- Server logs: per our host’s retention schedule.
8. Security
We use reputable providers, encrypted connections (HTTPS) and two-factor authentication on our accounts. No system is perfectly secure.
9. Children
This site is for adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or under 16 for any “sale” or “sharing”). If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we’ll delete it.
