Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Past The Plateau ("we," "us," "this site") handles information when you visit pasttheplateau.com (the "Site").
Information the Plateau Checker uses
The Plateau Checker tool runs entirely in your browser. The medication, weeks-at-dose, and weight figures you enter are used only to calculate your on-screen result and are not transmitted to, or stored on, our servers.
Contact form
If you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide, in order to respond to you. [Update this section once your form is connected to a real form provider — Formspree, Netlify Forms, etc. — and name that provider here, since they will process this data on our behalf.]
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies for basic site analytics (to understand which pages are visited) and to serve advertising, as described below. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some site functionality.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This Site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or generally at www.aboutads.info. For more detail on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Affiliate links
Some links on this Site, particularly to telehealth or weight-management providers, are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for a paid service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never affects the outcome of the Plateau Checker tool or the substance of our editorial content.
Third-party links
This Site links to external websites, including research sources and advertised services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites.
Children's privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.

This is a general template and not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney review this policy before publishing — requirements vary depending on your location, your users' locations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), and which services (analytics, ad networks, form providers) you actually use.
