GLP1Rating Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
GLP1Rating (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website glp1rating.com (the “Service”) and engage with our content, reviews, and resources related to GLP‑1 weight loss medications and telehealth providers.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
Contact Form & Feedback: When you submit questions, suggestions, or corrections through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content.
Newsletter sign-ups: If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address, the part of the site where you signed up (for example, the footer or the Insights page) and the date. To block spam sign-ups, we also store a one-way hash of your IP address, which can’t be turned back into the address itself. We use your email only to send our newsletter and related updates about GLP‑1 prices and provider reviews, and we never sell it.
Site search and requests: When you use the search box, we save what you typed, how many results it found, the page you searched from and whether you were on a phone, tablet or computer. This tells us which providers and topics to cover next. If you send the “Tell us what you were looking for” form, we also keep what you wrote and, only if you give it, your email address so we can reply. As with sign-ups, we store a one-way coded version of your IP address to block spam, not the address itself. Please don’t include health details in the form.
Survey & User Feedback: We may request feedback about your experience with GLP1Rating or ask about your interest in specific GLP‑1 providers to improve our content.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
Analytics & Cookies: We use Google Analytics 4 to see how many people visit, which pages they read and which provider links they click. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (named _ga) and collects data such as the pages you view, your approximate location, and your device and browser type. We have turned off Google Signals and ad personalization, and we never send Google your name, email address or any health information. We also use Ahrefs Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies. We don’t use advertising or retargeting pixels.
If we add other analytics or tracking tools, we will name them here and update the “Last Updated” date above.
Server & Security Logs: Our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs basic technical data, such as IP address and request timestamps, for security and performance purposes. This is standard infrastructure logging, separate from marketing or behavioral tracking.
Affiliate & Third‑Party Links: When you click affiliate links to GLP‑1 providers or pharmacies, those partners may track your activity. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Service Delivery: To respond to your inquiries, process contact form submissions, and provide customer support.
- Content Improvement: To understand user behavior, identify which reviews and guides are most helpful, and develop new content.
- Communications: To send you newsletters, price alerts, updates about new reviews, or information about changes to our policies (only if you opt in).
- Analytics & Research: To analyze traffic patterns, user demographics, and content performance to improve the Service.
- Marketing & Promotions: To promote GLP1Rating, highlight new provider comparisons, and offer discounts or special content (with your consent).
- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, respond to legal requests, and protect our legal rights.
- Fraud Prevention: To detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues.
- De‑Identified Research: We may anonymize and aggregate your data for market research, industry analysis, or third‑party publications.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
4.1 Affiliate & Business Partners
When you click a link to a GLP‑1 provider or pharmacy, we may share limited information (such as your referral source) with that provider so they can track which reviews drove signups. This is standard affiliate practice.
4.2 Service Providers
We use third‑party vendors to help operate our Service, including:
- Cloud hosting providers (for website storage and uptime).
- Email marketing platforms (for newsletters and alerts).
- Analytics providers (Google Analytics 4 and Ahrefs Web Analytics).
- Payment processors (if we add premium content or donations in the future).
These vendors are contractually obligated to use your data only for the services we request and to maintain confidentiality.
4.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, subpoena, or government agency request. We may also disclose information to:
- Protect the safety, rights, or property of GLP1Rating, our users, or the public.
- Detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues.
- Enforce this Privacy Policy or other agreements.
4.4 Business Transfers
If GLP1Rating is acquired, merged with another company, or its assets are sold, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change via email or a notice on our website.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission.
- Secure storage of email addresses and contact information.
- Regular security audits and updates.
- Restricted access to personal data (only authorized personnel).
No Guarantee: While we take security seriously, no online service is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection against all cyber threats.

Google Analytics cookies help us measure traffic. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, or install Google’s opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Blocking them doesn’t change how the site works.

If you are a California resident, you have specific privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of your personal information.
