At Energy Wellness ND, your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. By using this site, you consent to the data practices described herein.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://energywellnessnd.com.
This site is owned and operated by Belinda Dix, RN, BSN, and the team at Energy Wellness ND, located in Dickinson, North Dakota, USA.

2. Information We Collect

a. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (a hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval, your profile picture becomes visible alongside your comment.

b. Media Uploads

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from publicly available images.

c. Contact Forms and Booking Requests

If you fill out a contact form or book a session, we collect the information you provide such as your name, phone number, email address, requested service, and any message you submit. This data is used solely to respond to your inquiries and facilitate your appointments.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You may choose to disable cookies in your browser settings, but certain site functions may not work properly.

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.

  • Login Cookies: Temporary cookies are set when visiting the login page to check browser compatibility. Upon logging in, cookies store your login info and display preferences.

  • Post-Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish content, a cookie stores the post ID. It expires in 1 day.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, images, Instagram posts). Embedded content behaves just as if you had visited the originating website. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interactions with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to those services.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. However, data may be shared in the following cases:

  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (such as Akismet).

  • Email Services: If you sign up for email newsletters, your data may be stored in secure third-party platforms like FloDesk or Mailchimp.

  • Security or Legal Requirements: We may disclose information where required by law or in connection with legal claims.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Retained indefinitely, including metadata, to recognize and auto-approve future comments.

  • User Accounts (if applicable): Personal information provided in your profile is stored as long as your account is active. You can edit or delete your personal data at any time (except username). Admins can also view and edit this information.

  • Contact Form Entries: Kept for customer service and booking records, typically no longer than 12 months unless required for legal or operational reasons.

7. Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request:

  • A copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

  • Deletion of your personal data, unless required to be retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

8. Data Protection & Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data. These include:

  • Encrypted website connection (SSL)

  • Secure third-party hosting

  • Spam protection tools

  • Limited internal access to user data

However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
