Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Patrick Select. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our platform, and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

As a premium curation platform dedicated to research-driven health product breakdowns and clarity-based decision frameworks, transparency is at our core.

Information We Collect

We believe in collecting only what is necessary to improve our platform and serve our audience effectively. We may collect the following types of information from and about users:

• Information You Provide to Us: Such as your email address, if you choose to subscribe to our Insider List or communicate with us directly.
• Usage Details and Analytics: As you navigate through and interact with our platform, we may automatically collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. This includes IP addresses, browser type, and operating system, which helps us optimize the user experience.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We utilize cookies for performance, analytics, and affiliate tracking.

Please note that Patrick Select does not sell user data, collect sensitive medical records, provide medical advice, or require account registration to access our primary content.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to maintain our standard of quality, specifically to:

• Present our platform and its educational contents to you in a clear, structured way.
• Provide you with the Insider List newsletter and other information, should you request it.
• Understand and analyze how you engage with our content to improve layout, readability, and performance.
• Ensure the security and integrity of our operations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small functional files placed on your device. We use cookies to estimate audience size, speed up your searches, recognize you upon return, and understand usage patterns. We also use third-party analytics (such as Google Analytics) to help us assess how users engage with our platform.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect the performance of some features of the platform.

Affiliate Disclosure and Third-Party Links

Patrick Select provides educational, informational breakdowns and may earn commissions through affiliate partnerships when you click on or purchase through certain links on our website.

Our use of affiliate links does not influence the integrity or structured clarity of our research. Our curation remains strictly independent.

These third-party affiliates use their own tracking cookies to process your purchases and attribute them properly. Furthermore, our platform contains links to independent third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, tracking methods, or content of these third-party applications.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction. We may disclose personal information that we collect:

• To trusted contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our platform, such as email marketing and analytics tools.
• To comply with any court order, law, or legal process.
• If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Patrick Select, our users, or others.

Your Privacy Rights (Including California Residents)

Depending on your location, including if you are a resident of California (under the CCPA), you possess specific rights regarding your personal data. Patrick Select does not sell personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These rights include:

• Right to Know and Access: The right to request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to Deletion: The right to request the deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out: The right to opt-out of certain data collections, such as opting out of the Insider List at any time by contacting us directly at contact@patrickselect.com.

To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to us using the contact information provided below.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, reporting requirements, or active email subscriptions.

Data Processing and Storage

Your information may be processed and stored in the United States. While we operate distinctly, we utilize third-party providers (such as analytics, affiliate platforms, and email marketing tools) that may process data on U.S.-based servers. Patrick Select takes reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are maintained by these partners to protect your information.

Specifically, email addresses voluntarily submitted through our Insider List form are stored using Supabase (supabase.com), a SOC 2 Type 2 certified cloud database provider operating on U.S.-based infrastructure. Supabase acts as a data processor on our behalf and does not use your data for its own commercial purposes. Their privacy practices are governed by their own Privacy Policy available at supabase.com/privacy.

Data Security

We have implemented industry-standard administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, please note that no internet transmission is 100% secure; while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information transmitted to our platform.

Children’s Privacy

Our content is intended for an adult audience focusing on health optimization and performance. Our platform is not intended for children under 13 years of age, in compliance with COPPA. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Do Not Track Signals

Given that there is currently no universal industry standard for recognizing and implementing browser "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals, Patrick Select does not currently respond to these signals. You may, however, control cookies and tracking preferences through your browser settings.

Changes to This Policy

It is our standard practice to post any updates made to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we may notify you by email if you are subscribed to our Insider List, alongside a notice on the platform.
