He’s a data farming grifter that has made it harder and harder to evaluate his privacy policies for the grift in the past year. You have to work to get the text out now, but I did it for ya and ran an eval. Enjoy

### Privacy Policy Review – Data Collection and Sale Analysis

After reviewing the privacy policy, I have identified sections where the company **collects, shares, and sells** your personal data. Below are the critical areas where they gain access to your information and may **sell or share** it for profit.

---

### **1. Data Collection Points**
The company collects personal data from:
- **Direct interactions** (registration, purchases, communication)
- **Third parties** (public databases, marketing partners, social media platforms)
- **Cookies and tracking technologies** (user behavior, geolocation, IP address)
- **Social logins** (Facebook, X, etc.)

**Key data collected includes:**
- Name, phone number, email, mailing address
- Payment data (through third parties like Stripe, Shopify, Apple Pay)
- Social media account details (if used for login)
- Browsing history, geolocation, device details
- **Inferences drawn from your data** (likely for targeted advertising)

### **2. Data Sharing & Sale for Profit**
The most concerning section regarding **data sales and monetization** is:

#### **Section 4: WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?**
This section states that **data is shared with third parties**, including:
- **Ad Networks**
- **Affiliate Marketing Programs**
- **Data Analytics Services**
- **Retargeting Platforms**
- **Social Networks**
- **User Account Registration & Authentication Services**

✅ **These categories strongly indicate that your data is monetized for targeted advertising, profiling, and affiliate marketing.**

Additionally, under:
> **"We have sold or shared the following categories of personal information in the preceding twelve (12) months:"**
- **Identifiers (name, email, IP address)**
- **Commercial information (purchases, preferences)**
- **Internet activity (search history, browsing behavior)**
- **Geolocation data**
- **Inferences about user behavior**

**Who buys this data?**
- Advertising companies
- Social media networks
- Data brokers
- Retargeting services

✅ **This explicitly confirms that your data is being sold or shared for advertising purposes.**

---

### **3. Opt-Out Options (Limited)**
- **Cookies & Tracking**: You can disable some cookies, but they still allow third parties to track you.
- **Selling of Personal Data**: You can request to opt out, but enforcement is unclear.
- **Social Media Tracking**: If you log in using Facebook/X, your data is automatically shared.

### **4. Risk Summary**
🔴 **Your personal data is being collected, shared, and monetized.**
🔴 **Ad networks and social media platforms likely use your data for behavioral profiling and targeted advertising.**
🟡 **Opt-out mechanisms exist but are not always effective.**

---

### **Final Takeaway**
✅ **If you are concerned about privacy, avoid using this website, disable cookies, and do not log in with social media.**
✅ **Request data deletion and opt-out from targeted advertising.**
✅ **Use privacy tools like VPNs, private browsers, and ad blockers to limit tracking.**
