Privacy Policy
Inside MedSpa respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to insidemedspa.com and the email briefs we send.
The short version
We collect the minimum we need to run a newsletter: your email address when you subscribe, payment details handled entirely by our processor when you go Pro, and basic, privacy-respecting analytics about how the site is used. We do not sell or rent your personal information. You can unsubscribe from any email in one click.
Information we collect
- Email address — when you sign up for the free weekly brief or the paid daily brief. We store it to send you the publication and, where applicable, to recognize your subscription.
- Subscription & payment information — paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects and stores your payment card and billing details under its own privacy policy; we never see or store your full card number. We receive a confirmation that your subscription is active and the email associated with it.
- Usage & analytics data — like most websites, we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic (pages viewed, approximate region, device type, referring source). This is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used in aggregate, not to identify you personally.
- Technical/server data — our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs standard request data such as IP address and user agent for security and reliability.
How we use it
- To send you the free or paid intelligence brief you signed up for.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website and the publication.
- To process and manage paid subscriptions through Stripe.
- To understand, in aggregate, what content is useful so we can make the publication better.
We do not use your information for automated decisions that produce legal effects, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.
Cookies & analytics
We use cookies for two purposes: essential site function and analytics. Our analytics cookies are set by Google Analytics to measure aggregate usage. You can:
- Control or block cookies in your browser settings, and
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to opt out of Google Analytics across all sites.
Google's handling of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect your ability to read the site or receive the brief.
How we share information
We share personal information only with the service providers that make the publication work, and only as needed for them to perform that service:
- Stripe — payment processing for paid subscriptions.
- Google Analytics — aggregate website analytics.
- Cloudflare — website hosting, delivery, and security.
- Our email delivery systems — to send the briefs you subscribed to.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.
Your choices & rights
- Unsubscribe at any time using the one-click link in any email.
- Access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing us.
- California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is nothing to opt out of — but you may still exercise your other rights by contacting us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Data retention
We keep your email and subscription information for as long as you remain subscribed and as needed to operate the service or comply with our legal obligations. When you unsubscribe and request deletion, we remove your personal information from our active systems.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to keep your data safe.
Children
Inside MedSpa is a business publication intended for professionals. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
