Privacy Policy — Gaining with Grace

Last updated: 16 June 2026

Gaining with Grace ("we," "us") operates gainingwithgrace.com. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep this short and plain on purpose.

What we collect

• Email address — when you sign up for the free meal-plan sample or the weekly recipe letter.
• Signup details — the date/time you signed up, which page you signed up from, and the IP address of that request. We keep this to confirm a genuine signup and to prevent abuse.
• Server logs — like most websites, our server automatically records standard access logs (IP address, page requested, browser type, timestamp). These are retained for about 90 days, then deleted.
• Affiliate click logs — when you click an Amazon product link, our server records the click so we receive any affiliate commission (Amazon Associates, tag gainingwgrace-20). See our Affiliate Disclosure.

We do not ask for your name, address, payment details, or any health information. Purchases of paid products are handled entirely by Gumroad under Gumroad's own privacy policy — we never see your card details.

Purchase & transaction information

When you buy a product from us (via our checkout provider, Gumroad), we receive a record of the sale — the product, the amount, the date, and a refund flag. We do not store your name, address, or card details on our systems. To recognize repeat purchases and prevent duplicate records, we store a one-way cryptographic hash (SHA-256) derived from your email address; this lets us match purchases without keeping your email in plain text. We retain this hashed identifier for no more than 24 months. You may request deletion of your purchase records at any time by emailing hello@gainingwithgrace.com, and we will remove the matching records.

How we use it

• To send you the free sample and the weekly recipe email you asked for.
• To operate, secure, and measure traffic to the website.
• To attribute affiliate clicks so the site can earn commission.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's advertising.

Who processes data for us

We use a small number of service providers strictly to run the site and email:

• Hostinger — website hosting.
• Brevo / Amazon SES — to deliver our emails.
• Amazon Associates — affiliate link attribution.
• Gumroad — checkout and payment processing for paid products.

These providers only process data on our behalf to deliver these services.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe anytime. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. Once you unsubscribe we stop emailing you and add you to a suppression list so we don't email you again.
• Access or delete your data. Email hello@gainingwithgrace.com and we'll remove your email address and signup record on request.

Retention

We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. If you unsubscribe, we keep a record of your email on a suppression list (so we can honor your choice). Server access logs are deleted after ~90 days.

Children

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. Weight-gain and appetite topics can be sensitive — if you are a minor, please involve a parent, guardian, or healthcare professional.

Not medical advice

Gaining with Grace shares recipes and educational calorie information. It is not medical, nutritional, or clinical advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a doctor, registered dietitian, or other qualified professional. If you are underweight, recovering, or managing a medical condition, please build your plan with a professional.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top.
