Personal Information:

When you create an account, we collect basic identifying information such as your name, email address, date of birth (to confirm age 35+ eligibility), and geographic location. This data is essential for setting up your profile, communicating with you, and tailoring our services to your specific demographic needs.

Wellness Data:

As you engage with Coral Compass, we may collect data related to your platform usage, including articles read, lifestyle upgrade preferences, product interests, and community participation. If you opt to use our tracking features, we may collect aggregated, anonymized wellness metrics (e.g., activity levels, sleep patterns, dietary preferences). This data is used exclusively to provide personalized recommendations, enhance service quality, and deliver relevant content, always adhering to your specified privacy settings.

Technical Information:

To ensure optimal platform functionality and security, we collect non-identifiable technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and usage statistics. This helps us diagnose technical issues, analyze trends, and improve the user experience across all devices.

How We Use This Data:

The information we collect serves several purposes, all aimed at enriching your wellness journey:

  • Personalization: To deliver highly relevant health blog content, lifestyle upgrade suggestions, and product recommendations tailored to your interests.
  • Service Improvement: To analyze user engagement, identify popular features, and continuously refine our platform's functionality and offerings.
  • Communication: To send important updates, newsletters (if opted-in), and respond to your inquiries.
  • Security and Compliance: To protect our platform from fraud, ensure data integrity, and comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Our legal basis for processing your data is primarily your consent (obtained during account creation and feature activation) and legitimate interests in providing and improving our services, as well as fulfilling legal obligations. You can manage your data collection preferences and opt-out of certain data processing activities directly within your user dashboard.
