Privacy Policy

🔒 Last updated: January 1, 2025

Your privacy matters deeply to us. Here's exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe — in plain English, no legal jargon.

Introduction

Welcome to Gut Feeling Guide, operated by Sarah Mitchell at gutfeelingguide.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or subscribe to our email list.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

The short version: We only collect what we need to serve you well. We never sell your data. We never share it with advertisers. You can unsubscribe or request deletion of your information at any time.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Your first name and email address when you subscribe or download our free guide

• Any information you share when you contact us via email

Information collected automatically:

• Your IP address and general geographic location (country/region only)

• Browser type and device information

• Pages you visit on this site and time spent on each

• How you arrived at our site (e.g. Pinterest, search engine, direct)

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as your full address, phone number, or payment details.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the following purposes:

• To deliver your free gut health guide immediately after sign-up

• To send our regular email newsletter with gut health tips and advice

• To occasionally share product recommendations we genuinely believe in

• To understand which content is most helpful so we can improve it

• To ensure the security and functionality of our website

We will never: sell your personal information, share it with advertisers, use it to send spam, or contact you about anything unrelated to gut health and wellness.

Email Marketing

When you subscribe, your name and email address are stored in our email marketing platform, Systeme.io. By subscribing, you consent to receive our welcome email sequence and ongoing newsletter.

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click — no questions asked, no hoops to jump through.

Once you unsubscribe, your email will be removed from our active mailing list within 10 business days. You may request complete deletion of your data at any time by emailing sarah@gutfeelingguide.com.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help the site function and to understand how visitors use it.

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential cookies — required for the website to work correctly

• Analytics cookies — help us understand which pages are most useful

• Functional cookies — remember your preferences for a better experience

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run this website:

• Hostinger — our website hosting provider

• Systeme.io — our email marketing platform

• Pinterest — we share content there; their privacy policy applies on their platform

• ClickBank — affiliate marketplace; their policy applies when you make purchases through our links

We only share data with these services to the minimum extent necessary to operate our website and email list. We never sell your data to any third party.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this website and in our emails are affiliate links. If you click and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

We only recommend products we genuinely believe could help you. An affiliate relationship never influences what we write. See our full Affiliate Disclosure page for more details.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Our website is hosted on Hostinger's secure servers and Systeme.io maintains industry-standard security practices.

No method of internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong password and be mindful of what you share online.

This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
