Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 28, 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information to provide our services:

• Email address — when you subscribe to our preparedness newsletter.
• Chat messages — questions you submit to our Readiness Assistant chatbot are processed to generate a reply. We do not store conversations long-term or link them to your identity.
• Usage data — anonymous analytics such as pages visited, time on site, and referral source.
• Cookies — small text files stored by your browser to improve site functionality and track affiliate referrals.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To send you our newsletter with preparedness tips and product recommendations (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To improve our website content, AI assistant responses, and user experience.
• To track affiliate referrals and earn commissions on qualifying purchases.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data:

• Amazon Associates & other retailers — affiliate tracking cookies when you click product links.
• AI providers — your Readiness Assistant questions are processed by a large-language-model gateway (Google Gemini / OpenAI). We send only the message text, never your email or identity.
• Analytics providers — anonymous usage statistics to improve content.

4. Data Retention

Newsletter subscriber emails are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is anonymized and retained for up to 26 months. Chatbot messages are not stored beyond the request needed to generate a reply.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.
