1. Information we may collect
We collect information that you provide directly and certain technical information created when you use the Site. The categories may include:
- Contact information, such as your email address and any name or contact details you submit through Field Notes or a Contact page.
- Messages and requests, including the information you choose to include when you contact us or ask a question.
- Technical and usage information, such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages viewed, referring page, approximate location derived from IP address, and interaction or diagnostic data.
- Email engagement information, such as delivery, open, click, and unsubscribe information when Field Notes or another email service is active.
Please do not submit medical records, diagnoses, health-insurance information, payment-card details, government identifiers, or other sensitive personal information through the Site, Field Notes, or a general contact form.
2. How we collect information
We collect information when you choose to provide it, such as when you subscribe, contact us, or otherwise communicate with us. We may also receive technical and usage information automatically through your browser, device, cookies, similar technologies, hosting platform, form provider, email provider, or security tools.
3. How we use information
We may use information to operate and secure the Site; respond to messages; deliver Field Notes and other requested communications; understand and improve Site performance and content; prevent fraud, misuse, or technical problems; meet legal obligations; and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
We do not use information you provide to give individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
4. Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies
We or our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, maintain Site functionality, understand aggregate usage, improve performance, and help protect the Site. You can change browser settings to restrict or delete cookies. Some Site functions may not work as intended if you do.
If we activate analytics, advertising, or social-media tools that materially change how personal information is collected, used, or shared, we will update this policy and provide any required notice or choice mechanism before using those tools in that manner.
5. When we disclose information
We may disclose information to service providers that help us host and operate the Site, process forms, deliver email, provide analytics or security, and support our operations. We may also disclose information when you direct us to do so, when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not knowingly use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If either practice changes, we will update this policy and provide any required consumer choice before the change takes effect.
6. Retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the Site, delivering requested communications, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary with the information and purpose involved.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your choices and privacy requests
You may unsubscribe from marketing email at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message. You may also contact us to update or correct information, request deletion, or ask a privacy question. We may need to verify your request before acting, and some requests may be subject to legal or operational exceptions.
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have additional rights regarding access to, deletion of, correction of, or restrictions on the use of your personal information. To make a request, use our Contact page.
8. California privacy information
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, if it applies to Verified Prime. Those rights can include requesting to know, delete, or correct personal information and, where applicable, opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Verified Prime will not discriminate against a person for exercising applicable privacy rights.
This policy does not represent that Verified Prime is currently subject to the CCPA. If our data practices or legal obligations change, we will provide the notices and choices required by applicable law.
9. Third-party links and services
The Site may link to third-party websites, affiliate merchants, social-media platforms, or other services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one. Review the relevant third-party policy before providing information or completing a purchase. For information about affiliate relationships, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
10. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Site, please use our Contact page so we can review and address the concern.
11. Changes and contact
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, data practices, or legal obligations change. The revised policy takes effect when posted on the Site. For questions or requests about this policy, use our Contact page.
