1. Who we are

This website is operated by Tradwife Club (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Our website address is https://tradwife.club. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, you can reach us at hello@tradwife.club or through our contact page.

2. What data we collect and why

Contact form submissions. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content. We use this data solely to respond to your inquiry. Contact form data is stored on our server and is not shared with third parties. We use Contact Form 7 to process these submissions.

Newsletter subscriptions. When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and, optionally, your name. We use this data to send you our weekly letter and occasional updates about Tradwife Club. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email. Your email is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Community accounts. When you create a Tradwife Club community account, we collect the information you provide during registration — typically your name, email address, username, and any profile details you choose to share. This data is used to operate the community platform and enable you to connect with other members. Your profile information is visible to other community members as you configure it.

Comments. If you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to display your profile image. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Cookies. We use cookies to operate the site. For full details, please see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics. We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site — such as which pages are most popular and how people find us. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. We do not use Google Analytics or any tool that tracks individual users across the web.

Server logs. Like all websites, our hosting server automatically collects basic access log data including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages visited. This data is used for security and troubleshooting purposes and is automatically deleted after 30 days.

3. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

Consent — when you subscribe to our newsletter, create a community account, or submit a contact form, you consent to the processing of your data for the stated purpose. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Legitimate interest — we have a legitimate interest in operating our website, improving our content, and ensuring the security of our platform. This includes processing server logs and aggregated analytics.

Contractual necessity — if you create a community account, processing your data is necessary to provide you with the community services you registered for.

4. Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to anyone. Period.

We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate the site — such as our hosting provider, email delivery service, and community platform. These providers process data solely on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect your information. They include:

Our web hosting provider (for server infrastructure), our email service provider (for newsletter delivery), and our community platform provider (if applicable). We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.

5. How long we keep your data

Contact form submissions: retained for up to 12 months, then deleted.

Newsletter subscriptions: retained for as long as you remain subscribed. Upon unsubscribing, your email is removed from our mailing list within 30 days.

Community accounts: retained for as long as your account is active. You may request account deletion at any time by contacting us.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our site uses SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) for all connections. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
