Effective date: April 2026 · Last updated: April 2026
VerdeNorth ("we," "us," or "our") is a digital editorial wellness platform operated by VerdeNorth Media. We publish evidence-informed health content for adults 45 and over. Our website is located at verdenorth.com.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it. If you have questions, you can contact us at hello@verdenorth.com.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This is the only personally identifiable information we require. You provide this voluntarily — we never collect email addresses without explicit submission.
We collect anonymised information about how visitors use our site — including pages visited, time spent on pages, referral source, browser type, and approximate geographic region. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this data to understand what content is most useful to our readers and to improve the site.
Our site may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support site functionality and analytics. We do not use cookies for advertising targeting or to track you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not function correctly if you do.
Some links on VerdeNorth are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer or brand may set their own cookies and collect data according to their own privacy policy. VerdeNorth does not receive your personal data from these clicks — only aggregate commission data. We have no control over third-party data practices once you leave our site.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not use your data for automated decision-making, profiling, or personalised advertising.

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We select services that maintain appropriate data protection standards, but we encourage you to review their policies independently.
