Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 13, 2025
Website: BetterTogetherTips.com (“we,” “us,” “our”)

We care about your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Quick summary: We collect limited information to run the site (analytics, comments, emails you give us, and cookies for features/ads). You can opt out of marketing emails, request your data, or ask us to delete it anytime.

1) What we collect

a) Information you provide

• Contact info (e.g., name, email) when you subscribe, download a free resource, or contact us.
• Comments you post on articles (plus the data your browser sends with the form, like IP address and user agent, to help prevent spam).
• Messages you send us via forms or email.

b) Information collected automatically

• Analytics data (pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser type, referral source, time on page). We currently use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) or a similar analytics tool.
• Cookies and similar technologies are used to remember preferences, measure performance, and support advertising/affiliates.

c) Information from partners

• Advertising & affiliate networks (e.g., Google AdSense, Mediavine, Amazon Associates, and other partners we may join) may set cookies or use device IDs to show and measure ads and track qualifying purchases. We receive aggregated reports and may earn commissions when you buy through our links.

2) How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the site and its content.
• Respond to questions and support requests.
• Send newsletters and updates when you opt in (you can unsubscribe anytime).
• Analyze site performance and understand which content is helpful.
• Show ads, measure ad performance, and track affiliate referrals.
• Detect, prevent, and address security or abuse.

Legal bases (EEA/UK users): consent, legitimate interests (site security, analytics, essential cookies), contract (if you buy or download something we provide under terms), and legal obligations.

3) Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential functions (site security, comment forms).
• Preferences (remembering choices).
• Analytics (understanding traffic).
• Advertising & affiliates (serving, capping, and measuring ads; attributing purchases).

Manage cookies via your browser settings, our cookie banner, or our Cookie Policy.

4) Email communications

If you subscribe, we’ll send tips, updates, or promotions. Every email includes an Unsubscribe link that stops future emails. You can also email us.

5) Comments & community

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent to help spam detection. If you upload images, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

6) Children’s privacy

Our content is for a general audience and not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.

7) Data sharing & third parties

We share data only as needed to operate the site:

• Service providers (hosting, analytics, email service, security, ad & affiliate networks).
• Legal reasons (to comply with law, enforce terms, protect rights/security).
• Business changes (if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may transfer along with the business).

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. Advertising networks may process data for personalized ads—see “Your rights” and the “Do Not Sell/Share” section below for regional choices.

8) Data retention

• Emails/newsletter records: kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Contact messages: typically up to 24 months for support and record-keeping.
• Analytics data: retained per our analytics provider’s standard retention (often 14–26 months) unless we need longer for security or legal reasons.
• Comments: kept indefinitely so conversations remain intact, unless you request removal.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No online service is 100% secure, but we work to protect data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

10) International transfers

Our servers and service providers may be located in different countries. By using the site, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in regions outside your own, where privacy laws may differ.

11) Your rights & choices

a) EEA/UK/Swiss residents (GDPR/UK GDPR)

You may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or to object to processing. You can also withdraw consent at any time (it won’t affect prior processing). To exercise rights, use Privacy Requests or email. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

b) California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

You have the right to know, correct, and delete personal information we collect, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” (as defined by California law) of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page to send a request or email us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

c) Other regions

Depending on your location, you may have similar rights. Contact us and we’ll help.

12) Advertising & affiliate disclosure

We may participate in ad and affiliate programs, such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, and Amazon Associates. These partners may use cookies or similar tech to serve and measure ads and attribute purchases. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

13) Third-party links

Our content may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their practices. Review the privacy policies of any site you visit.
