Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 22, 2026

The Wellness Connection ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, register for our events, or join our membership network.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with our website. This includes:

• Identity and Contact Data: Name, email address, phone number, business name, and professional specialty.

• Profile Data: Business descriptions, social media links, and website URLs provided by members for inclusion in our Member Directory.

• Financial Data: While our events and network access are currently free, any future payments or credit card transactions will be handled securely through integrated, trusted third-party payment processors (such as Stripe or Square). We do not store financial or credit card details on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for the following business purposes:

• To process your event registrations and manage your membership account.

• To publish your approved business details in our public, searchable Member Directory.

• To communicate with you regarding upcoming monthly meetings, group announcements, and network updates. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking "unsubscribe."

• To maintain, secure, and improve the functionality of our website.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside marketing firms. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us run our website and business operations (such as our email marketing platform and website host). These providers are legally obligated to keep your data confidential.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, update, or request the deletion of the personal information we hold about you. If you are a member, you can log in to update your directory profile at any time.
