Information we collect

‍

We collect two categories of information.

‍

Information you provide to us. When you submit our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message content you choose to provide. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect payment information, as all content and resources on our website are provided free of charge.

‍

Information collected automatically. When you access our website, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, and the pages you view. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

‍

Cookies and similar technologies

‍

We use cookies, which are small data files stored on your device, to operate our website and understand how it is used. We use Webflow's built-in analytics, provided by our website host, to measure site traffic and content performance. We also use Google's advertising and analytics services, which use cookies and similar technologies to help us reach new audiences, deliver advertisements, and measure their effectiveness. Some of these technologies may collect information about your activity across other websites over time.

‍

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing our website. You can also opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings and through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info.

How we use and disclose information

‍

We use the information we collect to respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form, to operate and maintain our website, to analyze usage and improve our content and resources, and to deliver and measure advertising. We do not use your information for any purpose unrelated to operating this website.

‍

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may disclose information to service providers who perform functions on our behalf, including our website host (Webflow) and our analytics and advertising providers (Google), each of which processes data subject to its own privacy terms. We may also disclose information when required to comply with applicable law or a valid legal request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Know Your Gut or others.

‍

Data security

‍

We maintain reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We limit the amount of personal information we collect and retain in order to reduce this risk.

‍

Our website is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
