🧭 The short version

• You can browse our public pages without giving us your email address.
• Joining an email list is optional; you can unsubscribe from marketing emails.
• Some links may earn GR4A an affiliate commission, at no additional charge from us.
• Using Destiny, our optional AI assistant, may involve sending what you type to an external AI service to generate a response.
• Website infrastructure and third-party services may process technical data such as IP addresses and browser information.

We encourage you to ask questions and make informed decisions. Please do not enter passwords, financial account numbers, medical records, or other sensitive personal details into the chatbot.

📋 Information we may collect

Depending on which features you use, information may include:

• Information you choose to provide: comments, messages, email signup details, and text you enter into Destiny.
• Technical information: IP address, browser or device details, and information used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, or measure use of the website.
• Interaction information: visits, clicks, referrals, or link activity where tracking features are active.

We use information as needed to provide requested features, respond to inquiries, maintain security, deliver opted-in communications, understand site performance, and meet applicable obligations.

🤖 Destiny — our optional AI assistant

Destiny is an AI-powered guide, not a human representative. When you send a message, its contents and necessary technical information may be processed by the services that power the chatbot, including an external AI provider, to generate a response.

AI answers can be incomplete or mistaken. Check important claims independently, especially before spending money or making health, legal, or financial decisions. You are welcome to use your own AI assistant to investigate a product or claim rather than relying on Destiny.

Do not assume a chatbot conversation is confidential in the same way as a conversation with a licensed professional. The precise storage, retention, and provider handling of chatbot conversations depend on the site’s configuration and applicable service terms.

📧 Email subscriptions and messages

If you voluntarily subscribe to updates or contact us, we may use the information you supply to respond or send the communications you requested. GR4A uses email-marketing tools, including GetResponse where configured, which may process subscriber details and engagement information.

Marketing emails should include an unsubscribe method. You do not need to join an email list to read our public content or use the free Reality Check page.

🔗 Affiliate links, referrals and measurement

Some pages contain affiliate or referral links. If you follow one, the destination website or affiliate network may collect information, set cookies, or track a referral or purchase under its own policies. GR4A may receive a commission if a qualifying action occurs.

We also use site tools that can measure traffic or link activity. Their operation and any associated cookies depend on which features are enabled. An affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a product is suitable for you.

🍪 Cookies and similar technologies

WordPress and its plugins may use cookies or similar technologies for functions such as login sessions, preferences, security, comments, analytics, and referral tracking. Some are necessary to operate a feature; others may be optional depending on how the site is configured.

If you leave a comment, WordPress may offer to save your name, email and website in cookies for convenience. Login and editor cookies may also be used for authorized accounts. Embedded content and linked third-party websites may use their own cookies.

💬 Comments and spam protection

If comments are enabled and you submit one, WordPress may collect the information in the form, your IP address and browser user-agent information to assist spam detection. An anonymized hash derived from your email may be sent to Gravatar to check for a profile image; see Automattic’s privacy policy.

Comments may be checked by spam-protection services. Approved comments and related metadata may remain available until removed, subject to applicable requirements.

🖼️ Images and embedded content

If image uploads are enabled, avoid uploading photos containing embedded location (EXIF GPS) data. Other visitors may be able to download an image and inspect its metadata.

Embedded videos, images or articles from other websites can behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those providers may collect information or monitor interactions according to their own policies.

🤝 Who may process information

Information may be processed by service providers supporting hosting, security, spam prevention, email delivery, chatbot functionality, website measurement, or referral tracking, as relevant to the features you use. We do not intend to sell visitor contact details as a mailing list.

Third-party sites you choose to visit operate under their own privacy practices. We may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the website and its users.

🗓️ Retention and security

Different types of information may be retained for different periods depending on the service, purpose, configuration, and legal requirements. For example, WordPress comments and related metadata may remain until removed; email subscription information may be held until an unsubscribe or applicable deletion request is processed, subject to required records.

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online system can promise absolute security.

⚖️ Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Some rights have exceptions.

• Browse public content without joining an email list.
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the message.
• Manage cookies through your browser and any site consent controls provided.
• Request information about or deletion of personal data held by GR4A, subject to applicable law.

If you use a third-party platform, you may need to contact that provider separately regarding data it controls.

🌍 Visitors outside the United States

Our website may be accessed internationally. Some providers supporting GR4A may process information in countries different from your own, including the United States. Applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR where relevant, may provide additional rights and requirements. We will assess and honor applicable obligations rather than assume one rule fits every visitor.

🔄 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website, services, or legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the latest published revision.
