1. Who We Are
The Smart Awakening (“TSA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal information when you use TheSmartAwakening.com, shop with us, subscribe to The Letter, contact us, or interact with our content and services.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, shipping/billing details, order information, messages, survey responses and other information you choose to provide. Payment card data should be processed by the payment provider and not stored directly by TSA unless specifically required and secured.
3. Information Collected Automatically
When you use the site, we and our service providers may collect device, browser, IP address, approximate location, pages viewed, referring pages, interactions, cookie identifiers and similar usage information, subject to applicable law and your consent choices.
4. How We Use Information
We use information to operate the website; process and fulfill orders; provide customer support; send requested newsletters or communications; improve content, products and site performance; prevent fraud and misuse; comply with law; and, where permitted, measure or market our services.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use essential, functional, analytics and advertising/marketing technologies. Where consent is required, non-essential technologies should not run until the user has made a choice. Users can manage preferences through the cookie controls and browser settings.
6. How We Share Information
We may share information with vendors that help us operate the site and business, such as hosting, ecommerce, payment, fulfillment, email, analytics, customer support and professional advisers. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and security, or in connection with a corporate transaction. We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for unrelated purposes.
7. Sales, Sharing and Targeted Advertising
TSA should accurately disclose whether any advertising or analytics practices are considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws. If legally required, provide a clear opt-out and honor recognized opt-out preference signals. Do not state “we never sell/share data” unless the actual technology stack supports that statement.
8. Email and Marketing Choices
You may unsubscribe from marketing email using the link in each message. Transactional messages related to an order or service may still be sent when necessary. Marketing systems must maintain and honor opt-out requests.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including order fulfillment, legal/accounting obligations, dispute resolution, security and legitimate business needs.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children
The website and shop are not intended for children under 13. If TSA chooses a higher age threshold for accounts or purchases, state it consistently in this Policy and the Terms. If we learn that we collected children’s information unlawfully, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
12. Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and whether a law applies to TSA, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or portability of certain personal information, and to opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising or profiling. Requests may be sent to [PRIVACY EMAIL]. We may need to verify your identity and may deny or limit a request where permitted by law.
13. International Visitors
TSA is based in [COUNTRY/STATE]. If you access the site from another country, your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different privacy laws. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards and provide additional rights or notices.
14. Third-Party Links and Platforms
Our site may link to podcast platforms, social networks, retailers or other third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Policy.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and change the “Last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
