Privacy Policy

Introduction

Coach Divine (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website coachdivine.com and is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, read our blog, sign up for our newsletter, or interact with any of our content.

Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using Coach Divine, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.

Who We Are

Coach Divine is an independent educational platform created by a single creator — not a corporation, not an agency, not a faceless entity. I started this site as a broke university student with a cracked phone and campus Wi-Fi. That origin matters because it shapes how I treat your data: with the same care I wanted for my own when I was starting out with nothing.

I do not have a team of data analysts. I do not have venture capital pressure to monetize your information. I have a blog, a newsletter, and a commitment to teaching affiliate marketing honestly. Your data is not my business model — your trust is.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

• Email address — When you subscribe to our newsletter or download a free resource, you provide your email address voluntarily. We use it only to send you the content you signed up for
• Name (optional) — Some signup forms ask for your first name. This is entirely optional and used only to personalize emails
• Comments or messages — If you contact us via email, social media, or any contact form, the content of your message is stored so we can respond

Information Collected Automatically

• Log data — When you visit our website, our hosting provider may automatically record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit. This is standard web server behavior and is not unique to Coach Divine
• Cookies and similar technologies — We use cookies for essential site functionality (such as remembering your preferences) and, where applicable, for analytics (see the Analytics section below). You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings
• Analytics data — We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. This includes pages visited, time on site, traffic sources, and general geographic location (country/city level). Google Analytics collects this data anonymously — we cannot identify individual visitors from this information

Information We Do NOT Collect

Because transparency matters, here is what we explicitly do not collect:

• Payment or credit card information — we do not sell anything directly, so we never process payments
• Social Security numbers, government IDs, or similar sensitive identifiers
• Health or medical information
• Information about children — our content is not directed at anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for these specific, limited purposes:

• Delivering content you requested — Sending newsletter emails, free resources, or updates you signed up for
• Improving our content — Using analytics to understand which articles are helpful, how people find us, and what topics to write about next
• Responding to your messages — If you contact us, we use your message and email to respond
• Legal compliance — If required by law, we may disclose information to comply with legal obligations

That is the complete list. We do not use your data for anything else. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles. We do not use your email to send you unsolicited promotions.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand website traffic and user behavior. GA4 uses cookies to collect anonymized data about how visitors use our site. Key points:

• GA4 data is aggregated and anonymized by default — we cannot identify you personally from GA4 reports
• We have disabled Google Signals and advertising features in GA4, meaning your data is not used for personalized advertising
• We have set data retention to 14 months — the shortest period GA4 allows — after which user-level data is automatically deleted
• You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Affiliate Links and Tracking

Our blog contains affiliate links to third-party products and services. When you click an affiliate link on our site, the following may happen:

• The affiliate network (e.g., Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact) may set a cookie on your browser to track that you were referred by us
• This cookie allows the merchant to attribute any purchase you make to our referral, so we earn a commission
• These cookies are set by the third-party merchant, not by Coach Divine — we do not control them
• The cookie typically lasts between 24 hours and 90 days, depending on the specific affiliate program

We always disclose when content contains affiliate links. For full details, please read our Affiliate Disclosure.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter:

• We use your email address solely to send the content you signed up for
• We typically send one email per week — never daily bombardment
• Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link
• When you unsubscribe, your email is removed from our active mailing list within 48 hours
• We do not add you to any third-party mailing lists

We use MailerLite (or a similar email service provider) to manage our subscriber list. These providers process your email address on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect your data. They do not use your information for their own marketing.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external websites, including affiliate partners, tools we recommend, and resources we reference. When you click these links and leave our site, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every website you visit.

We only link to products and services we have personally used or thoroughly researched. However, our recommendation does not constitute an endorsement of their privacy practices.

Data Retention

• Newsletter subscriber data — We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we delete your data from our active list within 48 hours. Backup copies may persist for up to 30 additional days
• Analytics data — Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted
• Contact messages — We retain messages you send us for up to 12 months in case follow-up is needed, then delete them
• Log data — Server logs are retained for 30 days for security and debugging purposes

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access — You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — You can request that we correct inaccurate data
• Right to deletion — You can request that we delete your personal data (this includes simply unsubscribing from our newsletter)
• Right to restrict processing — You can request that we limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability — You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to object — You can object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at privacy@coachdivine.com. We will respond within 30 days. You do not need a lawyer or a formal process — just send us a message and we will take care of it.

Children’s Privacy

Our content is created for adults interested in affiliate marketing and online income strategies. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 16, we will delete it immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@coachdivine.com.

International Data Transfers

Coach Divine is operated from Nigeria. Our website is hosted on servers that may be located outside Nigeria (typically in the United States or Europe). If you access our website from outside Nigeria, your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in these jurisdictions. By using our website, you consent to this transfer. We ensure that any third-party services we use provide adequate data protection safeguards.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Specific measures we take:

• Our website uses HTTPS encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data in transit
• Newsletter subscriber data is stored with providers who maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance
• We do not store payment card data — because we never collect it
• Access to analytics and email platforms requires two-factor authentication

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes:

• We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page
• For material changes, we will notify newsletter subscribers via email
• We encourage you to review this page periodically

Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
