PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: July 21, 2026

Website: www.theunfilteredmidlife.com

Owner/Operator: Unfiltered Midlife (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)

Jurisdiction: United States (State of Washington)

At Unfiltered Midlife, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your information when you visit www.unfilteredmidlife.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our newsletter, interact with our content, or engage our consulting services. This policy is tailored for users in the United States and complies with applicable U.S. federal and state privacy regulations.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: directly from you when you provide it to us, and automatically as you navigate our Site.

Information You Provide Directly

  • Contact & Inquiry Data: Name, email address, phone number, organization name, and any details you share when submitting a contact form, requesting a consulting inquiry, or signing up for updates.

  • Newsletter Subscriptions: Your name and email address when you opt in to receive our monthly digital newsletter or downloadable resources.

  • Transaction & Billing Details: If you purchase services, digital toolkits, or products through the Site, we collect billing addresses and transaction history. Payment card details are processed directly by our secure third-party payment gateways and are never stored on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Device & Technical Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, network details, device identifiers, and referring URLs.

  • Usage & Analytics Activity: Pages viewed, time spent on pages, internal links clicked, scrolling patterns, search queries, and timestamps.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for specific, legitimate business purposes, including:

  • Delivering requested services, consulting engagements, and downloadable resources.

  • Sending monthly digital newsletters, policy updates, and content announcements (managed via Mailchimp).

  • Responding to inquiries, customer support requests, and scheduling consultations.

  • Monitoring site performance, analyzing traffic trends, and optimizing user experience (via Squarespace Analytics).

  • Maintaining security, preventing fraudulent activity, and complying with applicable legal obligations.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (small data files placed on your device) provided by our web host, Squarespace, and third-party analytics partners.

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core site navigation, security, and basic operational functionality. These cannot be switched off.

  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand visitor interactions, traffic sources, and popular content. You can manage your preferences regarding analytics cookies via your web browser settings.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We share information only with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform:

  • Website Platform & Hosting: Hosted by Squarespace, which processes technical and analytics data to maintain platform reliability and security.

  • Email Marketing & Communications: Managed through Mailchimp, which securely stores subscriber email lists and processes newsletter delivery.

  • Payment Processing: Third-party processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) securely process payment details during checkout. We do not store raw credit card numbers.

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or government regulation, or to defend our legal rights and property.

5. Email Communications & Unsubscribe Rights

In compliance with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act, all marketing and newsletter emails sent by Unfiltered Midlife include a clear, automated “Unsubscribe” link at the footer. You may opt out of commercial communications at any time by clicking that link or contacting us directly. Please note that operational or transactional emails (such as inquiry responses or purchase receipts) are non-promotional and will still be sent as needed.

6. Educational Content & Health Data Distinction

While Unfiltered Midlife addresses topics related to midlife, menopause, and workplace wellness, submitting a web form or subscribing to our newsletter does not establish a clinical healthcare relationship, nor does it involve the collection of Protected Health Information (PHI) under federal HIPAA regulations. Any personal anecdotes or health-related comments voluntarily shared via public comments are non-confidential and visible to other visitors.

7. Data Security & Retention

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, theft, or unauthorized access. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by financial, legal, and accounting obligations.

8. Your Privacy Rights & Choices (U.S. Residents)

Depending on your state of residence (including Washington, California, and other states with consumer privacy frameworks), you may have specific rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to know what personal data we have collected about you.

  • The right to request correction or deletion of your personal data.

  • The right to opt out of marketing communications.

  • The right to equal service without discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@unfilteredmidlife.com.

9. Children's Online Privacy (COPPA)

Our Site is intended strictly for adults age 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 18). If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor without parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When updates occur, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
