Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 September 2026
The Rooted Rhythm Media & Wellness (“The Rooted Rhythm,” “we,” or “us”) runs therootedrhythm.com. This page explains what information is collected when you use the site, who handles it, and the choices you have. It covers this website only.
Information you give us
- Email address. When you join the list (for the free Vagal Reset guide and Codex briefings), your email address goes to Kit, the service that stores the list and sends our emails. Kit also records when you signed up and whether you open or click our emails.
- Purchases. Kits and other paid downloads are sold through Stripe. Stripe collects your payment card and billing details directly. We never see or store your full card number. We receive the order record, which includes your name, email address, and what you bought.
- Emails you send us. If you write to us, we keep the message so we can reply.
Information collected automatically
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people read and how they find the site. It sets cookies and collects the pages you visit, how you arrived, your approximate location (city or region), and your device and browser type. We use it for site statistics only, not to identify you. Google explains its handling at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can block it with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.
- Hosting and security. The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes your IP address and basic request data to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. Cloudflare Web Analytics also counts page views on every page, including the embeddable widget. It sets no cookies and doesn’t follow you across sites.
- Fonts. Our typefaces load from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address and browser details when a page loads.
- Download links. After a purchase, your download link carries a Stripe order reference. Our download service checks that reference with Stripe and keeps a count of downloads per order for 60 days. The count does not contain your name or email.
What stays on your device
The free tools (The Breathing Room, Sleep Mixer, Exhale Gauge, Resonance Finder, Breath-Hold Test, Field Check) save your settings and results in your own browser’s local storage so they’re there next time. That data is never sent to us. The site also remembers whether you’ve already seen the intro. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes all of it. The embeddable breathing widget used on other websites loads no Google Analytics, only Cloudflare’s cookie-free visit count.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t rent or trade the email list.
- We don’t run advertising networks on this site.
- We don’t share personal information with other companies for their own marketing.
Links to other sites
Links to Amazon, Substack, YouTube, Pinterest and Buy Me a Coffee take you to services with their own privacy policies. Amazon may set cookies once you arrive there, which is how it credits a purchase to our Associates link.
How long we keep it
Your email address stays on the list until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Purchase records are kept as long as tax and accounting rules require. Download counts expire after 60 days. Analytics data stays in Google Analytics under its retention settings and is not linked to your email address.
Your choices
- Every email has an unsubscribe link.
- To see, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, email navigator@therootedrhythm.com.
- Do Not Track. The site doesn’t respond to browser Do Not Track signals. Use the opt-out add-on above to turn off Google Analytics.
Children
This site is written for adults. Material about children, such as The Seed Protocol, is meant for parents and caregivers. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us their details, email us and we’ll delete them.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change affects how we use your email address, we’ll tell subscribers by email.
Amazon Associates
As an Amazon Associate, The Rooted Rhythm earns from qualifying purchases. Some links to books and products on this site use our associate tag. This does not change the price you pay. See Affiliate Disclosure.

The protocols and educational content on this site are not a substitute for clinical care, mental-health treatment, or professional medical, legal, or financial advice. If you are in crisis, please contact 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or the Veterans Crisis Line: 988, press 1.
