Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Lauren Mitchell ("Lauren Mitchell", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit this website, subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or purchase our products and services. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below. Please read it carefully — and if you have questions, the contact details are at the bottom.

Who we are

This website is owned and operated by:

Lauren Mitchell
830 SW 14th Ct
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315
United States

Lauren Mitchell is the "data controller" responsible for your personal information under applicable privacy laws. For any privacy-related question or request, reach us using the contact details at the bottom of this page.

Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Information you give us — your email address when you join the newsletter; your name, email, and message when you use the contact form; and the details you provide when you purchase a product or coaching program (such as your name, contact details, and any health or goal information you share as part of coaching).
  • Order and transaction information — records of what you bought, along with limited payment confirmation details. Full payment-card numbers are processed by our payment provider and are not stored by us.
  • Automatically collected information — your device type, browser, operating system, IP address, pages visited, links clicked, referring website, and general usage data collected through cookies and analytics.
  • Cookie and tracking data — small files stored on your device that help us remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand which content and links are useful.

We do not intentionally collect more information than we need, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information beyond what you voluntarily share (for example, health goals you provide during coaching).

Cookies & tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for a few purposes:

  • Essential cookies — needed for the site and cart to function.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
  • Affiliate/attribution cookies — measure the performance of the affiliate and partnership links described in our disclosure. Some are set by third parties, such as the brands whose links you click.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site function. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Analytics & email providers

We use reputable third-party analytics tools to understand aggregate site usage and improve our content, and email-marketing tools to send our newsletter and updates. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments and are not permitted to use your information for their own unrelated purposes.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Send you the newsletter and updates you have requested.
  • Respond to your messages and questions.
  • Process, deliver, and support your purchases and coaching programs.
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
  • Understand which articles and products our readers find helpful.
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
  • Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our terms.

You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the link included in every message; we may still send you essential messages about a purchase or your account.

Legal bases for processing (GDPR)

Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on these legal bases:

  • Consent — for example, when you subscribe to the newsletter or accept optional cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Performance of a contract — to deliver a product or coaching program you've purchased.
  • Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the site, provided those interests aren't overridden by your rights.
  • Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with the law.

Sharing & third parties

This site runs on Shopify, which processes data on our behalf as our hosting and infrastructure provider. We also use reputable payment, email, and analytics providers to run the site. These providers may only use your information to perform services for us.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Some links on this site are affiliate or partnership links (see the disclosure below), which may set cookies when clicked so the relevant brand can attribute a referral — under some state laws, this type of cookie-based ad activity can be considered "sharing" or a "sale," and you can opt out as described in your rights below. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, to prevent fraud, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or sale of assets.

Affiliate & partnership disclosure

This site earns revenue through affiliate links and brand partnerships, disclosed in full on our how this site makes money page. Clicking those links may set cookies. Our reviews reflect our honest assessment, and all product specifications are drawn from the brands' published labels.

Data retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. In practice: newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe; contact-form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and our records; and order and coaching records are kept for as long as needed to provide the service and to meet tax, accounting, and legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

How we protect your information

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and access controls provided by our platform partners — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities where required by law.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy.
  • Correct inaccurate information or update your preferences.
  • Request deletion of your personal information.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time.
  • Data portability — receive your information in a portable format.
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and of targeted advertising.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the rights above, including the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and share it, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. You also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your privacy rights, and you may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below; we may need to verify your identity before responding.

EU & UK residents (GDPR)

If you are in the EU or UK, you have the rights listed above under the GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have not handled your information properly, although we'd appreciate the chance to address your concern first.

Do Not Track & global privacy signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting or send an opt-out preference signal (such as Global Privacy Control). Where required by law, we treat a recognised opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for that browser or device.

Automated decision-making

We do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

International visitors

We are based in the United States, and your information may be processed in the U.S. and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data-protection laws than your own. Where required, we take steps — such as relying on appropriate safeguards — to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection.

Third-party links

Our articles link to third-party websites, including the brands we review. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Categories of personal information we collect

Over the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information, always for the business purposes described in this policy:

  • Identifiers — such as your name, email address, and IP address.
  • Commercial information — records of products or services you purchased or considered.
  • Internet or network activity — browsing and usage data, and how you interact with our content and links.
  • Communications — the content of messages you send us and your newsletter preferences.
  • Information you provide for coaching — health goals or lifestyle details you voluntarily share as part of a program.

We collect this information directly from you and automatically through cookies and analytics. We disclose limited information to service providers (hosting, payment, email, analytics) and, through affiliate cookies, to partner brands for referral attribution. We do not sell your personal information for money.

How to submit a privacy request

To exercise any of your rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page and tell us what you'd like to do (access, correct, delete, opt out, and so on). To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we may ask for details that match what we already hold. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorization. We aim to respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally within 30–45 days), and we will let you know if we need more time. We will not charge a fee for most requests or discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Marketing communications & your choices

You are always in control of the marketing you receive from us. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email, adjust your cookie settings in your browser, and choose not to provide optional information. Opting out of marketing won't stop essential messages related to a purchase or your account. If you'd like us to update your preferences directly, just let us know.

Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will require any successor to honour the commitments in this Privacy Policy, and we will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your personal information as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be communicated by email or a notice on the site. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
