FlexologyGuide.com, also referred to as “FlexGuide,” “FlexologyGuide,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” respects your privacy and is committed to explaining clearly how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you use FlexologyGuide.com and related services.

When you use Studio Search, FlexGuide may process information such as:

Provider listings selected

FlexGuide may also use approximate location information derived from your IP address or other device information when permitted.

If FlexGuide offers a browser- or device-based location feature, your browser or device may ask for permission before providing more precise location information.

FlexGuide does not require users to provide precise geolocation unless a particular feature specifically requests it.

You may generally enter another location manually instead of sharing device location.

4. Studio and Provider Information

FlexGuide maintains information about studios, providers, brands, and businesses.

This information may include publicly available or business-provided information such as:

Business name
Location
Address
Telephone number
Website
Service categories
Brand affiliation
Business status
Publicly available business characteristics
Other provider information relevant to FlexGuide’s directories and research

Business information may be obtained from official business websites, brand websites, public sources, licensed sources, business submissions, provider communications, or research conducted by FlexGuide.

Business operators may contact FlexGuide to request corrections or updates.

The inclusion of a business in FlexGuide’s database does not mean FlexGuide has collected personal information about an individual consumer associated with that business.

5. Contact Forms and Lead Forms

If you submit a contact form, request information, or use a feature that connects you with a studio, provider, advertiser, sponsor, or other business, FlexGuide may collect the information you submit.

If a form clearly states that your inquiry will be sent to a particular studio, provider, or business, the information necessary to respond to your request may be shared with that business.

For example, information shared may include:

Name
Email address
Telephone number
Location
Requested service
Message
Information necessary to respond to your inquiry

FlexGuide does not provide businesses unrestricted access to its website visitors merely because those businesses advertise, sponsor listings, or participate in FlexGuide.

6. AI, Chatbot, and Interactive Tools

FlexGuide may provide chatbots, search assistants, recommendation tools, routine generators, AI-powered interfaces, or other interactive features.

Information entered into these tools may be processed to generate a response or recommendation.

Depending on the feature, information may also be processed by third-party technology providers that provide artificial intelligence, cloud computing, search, database, analytics, hosting, or related services to FlexGuide.

Information submitted through these tools may be retained for purposes such as:

Providing the requested response
Maintaining conversation context
Improving functionality
Evaluating system quality
Detecting errors
Preventing fraud or abuse
Maintaining security
Understanding how tools are used

FlexGuide’s consumer tools are not intended to collect confidential medical records or highly sensitive health information.

Do not submit information such as:

Medical records
Health insurance numbers
Social Security numbers
Detailed medical histories
Prescription records
Financial account credentials
Passwords
Government identification numbers
Other highly sensitive information

unless a specific FlexGuide feature expressly states that it is designed to receive that information and provides appropriate privacy disclosures.

FlexGuide’s general wellness content, Studio Search, and AI tools are not intended to function as healthcare record systems.

7. Health and Wellness Information

FlexGuide publishes information about fitness, mobility, recovery, stretching, wellness, exercise, and related topics.

Users may voluntarily mention health-related concerns, physical limitations, fitness goals, symptoms, or similar information when using interactive tools or forms.

FlexGuide does not require users to disclose detailed medical information to use ordinary website features.

If you voluntarily provide health-related information through a general-purpose FlexGuide feature, that information may be treated as part of the content of your communication or request.

FlexGuide is not intended to serve as a medical records repository.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, FlexGuide is not acting as a healthcare provider, health plan, healthcare clearinghouse, or HIPAA-regulated patient portal.

These services may collect information such as:

FlexGuide may also use other analytics providers in the future. When required, appropriate disclosures and controls will be provided.

11. Advertising and Sponsored Listings

FlexGuide may display advertising, sponsored listings, featured providers, promoted content, or other paid placements.

Sponsored or paid placement does not provide an advertiser unrestricted access to personal information about FlexGuide visitors.

FlexGuide may collect or provide aggregated or limited information used to measure sponsorship or advertising performance, such as:

Listing impressions
Advertisement impressions
Clicks
Referral traffic
General device type
General geographic area
Lead volume
Conversion information when available

If a user knowingly submits information through a sponsored provider’s lead form, that information may be transmitted to the provider as described at the point of collection.

Sponsored placement is separate from FlexGuide’s editorial content and does not automatically indicate that FlexGuide recommends or endorses a provider.

12. Affiliate Links

FlexGuide may participate in affiliate programs.

Some links to third-party products, services, retailers, booking platforms, or other websites may be affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link or complete a transaction after following one, FlexGuide may receive a commission or other compensation.

Affiliate partners or affiliate networks may use cookies, referral codes, or other identifiers to attribute the referral or transaction.

Depending on the affiliate program, the third party may receive information such as:

Referral source
Affiliate identifier
Transaction status
Transaction amount
General referral information

Your transaction with the third-party merchant is governed by that merchant’s own privacy policy.

Following an affiliate link does not ordinarily cause FlexGuide to receive your complete payment-card information.

13. Industry Reports and Market Intelligence

FlexGuide may sell or provide market research, industry reports, datasets, research services, or other business products.

If you request or purchase an industry report, FlexGuide may collect:

Name

Transaction information

FlexGuide may receive transaction records, payment status, customer information, or other information necessary to complete a purchase.

Payment processors handle payment information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

FlexGuide does not represent that it stores complete payment-card numbers unless a specific payment feature expressly states otherwise.

15. Email and Newsletters

If you subscribe to FlexGuide emails, newsletters, updates, reports, or marketing communications, we may use your email address and related information to send those communications.

Messages may contain technologies that help determine whether an email was opened or whether a link was clicked.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication.

We may still send non-promotional communications when necessary, such as:

Transaction confirmations
Account notices
Responses to inquiries
Security notices
Legal notices
Service-related communications

Advertising and Affiliate Partners

Limited information may be shared with advertising, sponsorship, affiliate, or measurement partners where necessary to measure referrals, advertising performance, or transactions.

Business Transactions

If FlexGuide or substantially all or part of its business is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

Respond to legal process
Enforce agreements

Protect users
Investigate fraud

Protect legal rights

FlexGuide does not sell personal information for money merely as part of normal website use.

However, privacy laws in some jurisdictions define the terms “sell,” “sale,” or “share” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale.

Certain uses of advertising technology, tracking pixels, affiliate technologies, or cross-context behavioral advertising may potentially qualify as selling or sharing personal information under applicable state privacy laws.

If FlexGuide engages in activities that legally constitute selling or sharing personal information, we will provide applicable notices and opt-out mechanisms as required by law.

Where legally required, FlexGuide will also honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of applicable sale or sharing activities.

18. Sensitive Personal Information

FlexGuide does not intentionally require highly sensitive personal information for ordinary website use.

Depending on how a user interacts with the site, sensitive information could potentially be provided voluntarily or collected through a feature that requires it.

Examples may include:

Precise geolocation, if expressly authorized
Health-related information voluntarily submitted
Account login credentials
Payment information handled by payment processors

FlexGuide does not use sensitive personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the reason it was provided without appropriate notice or consent where required.

Users should not submit unnecessary sensitive information through general forms, Studio Search, or AI tools.

19. Aggregated and De-Identified Information

FlexGuide may create aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information based on website activity.

Examples may include:

Number of Studio Search queries

Geographic search patterns
Popular articles
General website traffic trends
Studio-market statistics
Anonymous usage patterns

FlexGuide may use such information for:

Platform development
Market research
Industry analysis
Business planning
Reports
Analytics
Product development

We take reasonable measures intended to prevent de-identified information from being used to identify a particular individual where required by applicable law.

FlexGuide retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

Providing requested services
Maintaining business records
Completing transactions
Responding to inquiries
Maintaining website security
Detecting fraud or abuse
Supporting business operations

Enforcing agreements

Backup systems may retain information for an additional period before it is overwritten or deleted.

These safeguards may include measures related to:

Encryption where appropriate

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in a manner that requires parental consent and such consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us using the contact information below.

28. Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Where required by applicable law, FlexGuide recognizes qualifying browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of applicable sale or sharing of personal information associated with that browser or device.

Because these signals are generally device- and browser-specific, you may need to enable the signal separately on different devices or browsers.

29. Do Not Track

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar setting.

There is no single universally adopted technical standard governing all Do Not Track signals.

FlexGuide responds to legally required opt-out preference mechanisms as described in this Privacy Policy. Other Do Not Track signals may not alter website behavior unless FlexGuide specifically supports them or applicable law requires a response.

30. Email Privacy Choices

Unsubscribing from promotional emails does not prevent FlexGuide from sending transactional, security, legal, or service-related communications when necessary.

These may include:

Browser cookie controls
Device privacy settings
FlexGuide cookie-preference controls
