We use cookies and similar technologies for these purposes:

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers also offer a “Do Not Track” signal, which we honor where technically possible.

Third-party services we use

We share limited data with these service providers. Each has its own privacy policy and processes data only as needed to provide its function.

• Google Analytics — website traffic analytics. Data is anonymized and aggregated.
• MailerLite — newsletter delivery. Stores your email address and name if you subscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time from any email we send.
• Bluehost — web hosting. Serves the Site and stores site files.
• Amazon Associates and other affiliate networks — to credit purchases you make through our links. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
• Google AdSense / display advertising — if and when we enable display advertising, we will update this section. We will not enable advertising without updating this policy first.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@seniorsmind.com with your request. We will respond within 30 days.

Children’s privacy

This Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us should email privacy@seniorsmind.com.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. No internet transmission is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Specifically:

• Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe
• Contact form messages are kept for up to 2 years for reference and follow-up
• Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics defaults (currently 14 months)

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time — for example, when we add a new service or change how we use data. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. For significant changes, we will notify newsletter subscribers by email before the change takes effect.
