4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies — these are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent preference.

Analytics cookies — we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site. These cookies collect anonymous information about pages visited, time on site, and traffic sources. No personally identifiable information is collected through these cookies.

Advertising and tracking cookies — we may use the Facebook Pixel and similar tools to measure the performance of content we promote on social media platforms. These tools may set cookies that allow platforms like Meta to connect your visit to our site with your activity on their platforms, where you have consented to this through their own privacy settings.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites you visit. For more information about managing cookies visit aboutcookies.org.

5. Affiliate relationships and third party links

This website participates in affiliate programmes. This means we may earn a commission when you click a link to a third party service or product and subsequently make a purchase or submit an enquiry. This is at no additional cost to you.

When you click an affiliate link and visit a third party website, that website's own privacy policy applies to any information you provide to them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before submitting any personal information.

Third party services we may link to include but are not limited to health and wellbeing services, financial comparison services, legal services, and home improvement services. Each of these has their own data handling practices which are governed by their own policies.

6. Legal basis for processing

Under UK GDPR we process your data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests — for analytics and website improvement purposes, where our interest in understanding site usage does not override your privacy rights
• Consent — for non-essential cookies and tracking technologies, where you have given your consent through our cookie notice
• Legal obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with applicable law

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Analytics data is typically retained for up to 26 months. Email correspondence is retained for up to 12 months unless there is a legal reason to retain it for longer.

8. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you can ask us to delete your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it

• Right to object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Rights related to automated decision making — we do not carry out automated decision making or profiling

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@thewellnesscrowd.com. We will respond within 30 days.
