Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
The Fresh Root ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit thefreshroot.com, how we use it, and your rights.
Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit The Fresh Root, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may automatically collect standard server log data, including:
- Browser type and version
- IP address (anonymized by Cloudflare)
- Pages visited and referring URLs
- Timestamps of requests
This data is collected by Cloudflare as part of their infrastructure services and is subject to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. We do not run our own analytics software.
Information You Provide
The Fresh Root does not have contact forms, newsletter signups, or account creation. We do not collect any personal information you actively submit.
Cookies
Cookie Consent
When you first visit The Fresh Root, a cookie consent banner is displayed. Your preference (accept or decline) is stored in your browser's local storage so the banner is not shown on subsequent visits. This preference does not leave your device.
Cookies We Use
The Fresh Root itself does not set any first-party tracking or analytics cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
- Amazon Associates affiliate cookies — When you click an affiliate link to Amazon, Amazon may set a cookie in your browser to track any resulting purchase for commission purposes. This cookie is set by Amazon, not by us. See Amazon's Cookie Notice and Amazon's Privacy Policy for details.
You can control or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. Declining cookies will not affect your ability to read content on this site.
How We Use Information
The aggregate, anonymized server log data collected by Cloudflare is used to:
- Maintain site security and prevent abuse
- Understand general traffic patterns
- Improve content and site performance
We do not use this data to identify individual users.
Affiliate Disclosure
The Fresh Root participates in the Amazon Associates Program. We earn a small commission when you purchase products through our affiliate links, at no additional cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties except:
- When required by law or legal process
- To protect the rights or safety of The Fresh Root or others
- With Cloudflare, our hosting provider, as part of normal site operation (see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy)
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:
- GDPR (EU/UK): Right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data; right to data portability; right to object to processing
- CCPA (California): Right to know what personal information is collected; right to delete; right to opt out of sale (we do not sell personal information)
- All users: You can clear cookies and local storage from your browser at any time
To exercise any data rights, see our About page for contact information. Because we collect minimal data and do not operate a database of user records, most requests can be addressed by clearing your browser data.
Children's Privacy
The Fresh Root is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
