Starting Over Now is an independently owned and operated educational website run by a sole proprietor based in New York, United States. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we disclose it, and the choices available to you.
By using this website, contacting us, joining an email list, purchasing a product or service, or otherwise providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
Information we collect
Information you provide
We may collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, message subject, area of interest, contact-form message, account information, survey responses, comments, testimonials, customer-support communications, and information submitted when you subscribe, register, purchase, or participate in an offer.
Transaction information
If products or services are offered, payment and checkout information may be processed by third-party payment processors or commerce platforms. We do not intend to store complete payment-card numbers on this website. Those providers process information under their own privacy policies and security practices.
Information collected automatically
WordPress, hosting, security, analytics, email, advertising, affiliate, and similar technologies may collect technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location, timestamps, cookie identifiers, interactions, and diagnostic or security data.
How we use information
We may use information to operate and secure the website; respond to messages; provide requested resources; deliver products or services; process transactions; maintain accounts; send administrative or marketing communications; personalize or improve content; measure performance; prevent fraud or misuse; comply with law; enforce our terms; and protect our rights and users.
Email communications
If you subscribe or otherwise consent to marketing email, we may send educational content, updates, offers, and promotional messages. You may unsubscribe through the link in a marketing email. We may still send non-promotional messages concerning purchases, accounts, security, or requested support.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use necessary cookies for security and basic operation, and may later use functional, analytics, advertising, or affiliate technologies. Where consent or opt-out controls are legally required, we will implement the appropriate controls before using covered non-essential technologies. Additional information appears in our Cookie Policy.
Affiliate links, advertising, and third parties
Some links may be affiliate links. If you follow one, the merchant or affiliate network may use cookies or similar identifiers to attribute a referral. We may receive compensation if you complete a qualifying action. Third-party websites, platforms, embedded content, payment processors, email providers, analytics services, advertisers, and affiliate networks operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
How we disclose information
We may disclose information to vendors and service providers that help us host, secure, analyze, communicate, process payments, deliver products, or operate the website; to professional advisers; when required by law or legal process; to protect rights, safety, or security; in connection with a reorganization, sale, or transfer of the website or business; and with your direction or consent.
We do not sell personal information for money. Certain advertising, analytics, or affiliate activities may be treated as “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. If Starting Over Now becomes subject to those requirements or activates covered technologies, we will provide required notices and opt-out methods.
Data retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, including legal, tax, accounting, security, dispute, and enforcement needs. No security method is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not submit passwords, account numbers, government identifiers, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form.
Your choices and privacy rights
You may unsubscribe from marketing email, control cookies through your browser, and request access, correction, or deletion of information we maintain about you. Depending on where you live and whether a particular law applies, you may have additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, targeted advertising, sale or sharing, consent, or appeals. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Submit privacy requests through the Contact page and select “Website feedback.”
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted such information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
International visitors
Starting Over Now is operated from the United States. If you access the website from another country, information may be processed in the United States or other locations where service providers operate, subject to applicable law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, vendors, or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version. Material changes may also be announced through the website or another appropriate method.
