Effective and last updated: September 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how The Nutrient (“we,” “us,” or “the Service”) handles information when you browse our website, create an account, submit a professional listing, or use our directory and publishing features.
1. Information we collect
We may collect account information such as your name, email address, password hash, professional title, specialties, biography, website, location, and whether you offer virtual services. We also process content you submit, including articles, recipes, credentials, and listing information.
For security and operation, we may collect IP addresses, browser and device information, session identifiers, login history, failed sign-in attempts, and account-lockout records. We do not store readable passwords.
2. How we use information
- Provide, review, publish, and maintain professional listings.
- Help visitors search for professionals and wellness services.
- Operate accounts, subscriptions, articles, recipes, and other requested features.
- Protect accounts, prevent abuse, investigate security incidents, and maintain audit records.
- Communicate about listings, account activity, service changes, and support requests.
- Improve the website and understand how its features are used.
3. Public profile information
Information included in an approved professional profile is intended to be public. This may include the professional’s display name, title, specialty, biography, location, website link, virtual-service availability, organization, and verification status. Do not submit private information that you do not want displayed publicly.
4. Cookies and sessions
We use necessary cookies and session identifiers to keep users signed in, protect accounts, and operate the Service. We may add analytics or optional technologies in the future; where legally required, appropriate notice or choices will be provided.
5. Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by hosting, infrastructure, email, payment, security, or other service providers only as needed to operate the Service. We may disclose information when required by law, to address misuse or security incidents, or to protect users and legal rights.
6. Professional services and external websites
The Nutrient is a directory and publishing platform. Professionals and organizations listed on the Service are independent parties. When you visit a professional’s website or contact a provider, that party’s privacy practices apply to information you share with them.
7. Data retention and security
We retain information while needed to provide the Service, maintain legitimate business and security records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including encrypted connections and protected password storage, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Your choices
You may update submitted profile information through your account and may request access, correction, deactivation, or deletion of applicable personal information. Some limited records may be retained for security, legal compliance, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution.
9. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as The Nutrient develops. The current version and effective date will remain available on this page.
