The Simple Version
Look, we get it – nobody loves reading legal stuff. Here’s the bottom line: we respect your privacy, we’re careful with your information, and we’ll never sell your email to sketchy supplement companies. We collect basic info to make your experience better (like remembering if you’re gluten-free so we can show you relevant recipes), and we’re totally transparent about what we do with it.
