Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Bartley Weight Loss ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit bartleyweightloss.com. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Information you give us. When you fill out the contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, or email us, you may provide your name, email address, and the content of your message.
- Automatically collected information. When you visit the site, our servers and analytics tools record standard log data — IP address, browser type and version, device, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time on page, and date/time of access.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies to remember preferences, run analytics, and (where applicable) track affiliate referrals so partner providers can attribute commissions correctly. See Section 5 for details.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site
- Send the newsletter if you've subscribed
- Respond to your inquiries
- Understand which articles readers find most useful (analytics)
- Track affiliate referrals so providers can attribute commissions
- Detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, fraud, or security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations
3. Legal bases for processing (GDPR readers)
For readers in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data on the following legal bases: your consent (for newsletter sign-ups and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (to operate and improve the site, prevent fraud, and understand usage), and legal obligation (where required).
4. How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We share information only as follows:
- Service providers. Vendors who help us run the site — hosting, analytics, email delivery, customer support — and only to perform those functions for us.
- Affiliate partners. If you click an affiliate link, your click is logged by the partner's tracking platform so they can attribute the referral. This typically involves an anonymous identifier and basic referrer data, not personal data we hold.
- Legal compliance. When required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
- Business transfers. If Bartley Weight Loss is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
5. Cookies and tracking
We use the following categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies. Required for the site to function (e.g., remembering navigation state).
- Analytics cookies. Help us understand which pages perform well. We may use providers such as Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative.
- Affiliate-tracking cookies. Set by our affiliate partners (e.g., Medvi, TrimRx, DirectMeds tracking platforms) when you click a partner link. These typically last 30–90 days depending on the partner.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where applicable.
6. Your rights (CCPA — California residents)
California residents have the right to:
- Know what categories of personal information we collect and how it's used
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell personal information)
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
To exercise these rights, email support@bartleyweightloss.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
7. Your rights (GDPR — EEA / UK residents)
If you are in the EEA or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, rectify, delete, restrict processing of, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact support@bartleyweightloss.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
8. Children's privacy
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact support@bartleyweightloss.com and we will delete it.
9. Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Inactive newsletter subscribers are pruned periodically.
10. Security
We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. International transfers
We are based in the United States. If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. Where required by law, we put appropriate safeguards in place for international transfers.
12. Third-party links
Our reviews link to telehealth providers and other third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Read the destination site's privacy policy before sharing personal information there.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll change the "Effective date" at the top of this page when we do. For significant changes, we'll provide additional notice (such as an email if you've subscribed).
