Privacy Policy

✓ We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data

Epic Apex LLC is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Your trust matters to us. We only collect minimal data necessary to operate our website and provide you with valuable wellness resort information.

We are funded by making your next epic wellness resort vacation epic: through affiliate partnerships and advertising,
not by selling your data.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Epic Apex LLC ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit WellnessResorts.org (the "Website"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

How We Make Money (And How It Affects Your Data)

We believe in complete transparency about our business model. WellnessResorts.org generates revenue in two ways, neither of which involves selling your personal information:

Affiliate Partnerships

When you click on a resort booking link on our website, you may be directed to a third-party booking site (such as a hotel or resort website). If you make a booking, we may earn a commission from that partner. Important: The affiliate tracking cookie only identifies that the referral came from our website—it does not transmit your personal information to us. The booking transaction and any personal data you provide occurs directly between you and the third-party booking site under their privacy policy.

Display Advertising (Google Ads)

We display advertisements through Google Ads on our website. Google uses cookies to show you relevant ads based on your browsing activity across the internet. Important: We do not receive your personal information from Google. We only receive anonymous, aggregated data about ad performance (such as how many people clicked an ad). Google's advertising practices are governed by their own privacy policy, and you can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings.

What This Means for You

Your personal data stays with you. We earn revenue through commissions and advertising—not by selling information about you. We never have access to your payment information, booking details, or the personal data you provide to booking sites or advertisers.

We participate in Google Ads for advertising. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to our website and other sites. We receive no personal information about you from Google—only aggregated, anonymous performance data. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
