Thank you for visiting Trusted Thrive (the “Site,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We care about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Quick summary
• We collect information you give us (like your email), information collected automatically (like IP and device data), and limited information from partners (like analytics and affiliate networks).
• We use this data to provide content, improve the Site, personalize your experience, run analytics/marketing (with your consent where required), and comply with law.
• We do not sell personal information for money. We may “share” (as defined under certain U.S. state laws) limited data with advertising/analytics partners. You can opt out.

If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Site. If you have questions, contact us at team@trustedthrive.com.

4) Cookies & tracking technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to remember preferences, analyze traffic, and support advertising/affiliate attribution.

Types of cookies

• Strictly necessary: required for core Site functions.

5) Analytics

We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how the Site is used—what pages are viewed, for how long, and from where. These tools may set their own cookies and receive your IP address. We use aggregated reports to improve our content and Site performance.

6) Advertising & affiliate disclosures

We participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may include links to products or services; if you click and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals and conversions.

We may also run advertising or sponsored content. Sponsored content will be clearly labeled. Our editorial opinions remain our own and are not influenced by commissions.

“Sale” or “Share” under U.S. state privacy laws: We do not sell personal information for money. We may “share” limited data (e.g., cookie IDs) with ad/analytics partners for cross‑context behavioral advertising. Where required, we offer the right to opt out (see Your privacy rights).

7) Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK only)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data under these legal bases:

• Consent (e.g., for certain cookies, newsletter marketing)

• Legitimate interests (e.g., to analyze and improve the Site)

• Contract (e.g., to provide requested services)

• Legal obligation (e.g., to keep required records)

You may withdraw consent at any time where applicable.

8) How we share information

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers (website hosting, security, email delivery, analytics, customer support)

• Affiliate networks/retailers (to attribute purchases and track commissions)

• Advertising and social platforms (for measurement or, where allowed, targeted ads)

• Professional advisors (legal, accounting)

• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety

• Business transfers in connection with a merger, sale, or acquisition

We require service providers to use personal information only as instructed and to protect it.

9) International data transfers

We operate primarily from India and may use service providers in other countries, including the U.S. and the EEA. Your information may be transferred to—and processed in—countries that may have different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).

10) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, for as long as you maintain an account or subscription with us, and as required by law (e.g., tax, accounting, fraud prevention). When we no longer need the data, we will delete or de‑identify it.

11) Your privacy rights

You may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and to object to certain processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
