1. Who We Are

Gut Logic ("we," "us," or "our") is an educational platform dedicated to providing science-backed information about gut health and the microbiome. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Contact Email: hello@gut-logic.com

Physical Location: Edmonton, AB, Canada

We will respond to all data protection inquiries within 30 days of receipt.

2. Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our website and services:

Information You Provide Directly

When you sign up for our newsletter, download resources, or contact us, we may collect:

  • Email address (required for newsletter signup)
  • Name (optional)
  • Any information you include in messages to us

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, with your consent where required, we may automatically collect:

  • IP address (used to determine general geographic location)
  • Device information (browser type, operating system, device type)
  • Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies (including browser localStorage used by our hosting platform for anonymous visitor and session identification)
  • Browsing behavior (pages visited, time on site, click patterns)
  • Referral source (how you found our website)
  • Email engagement data (opens and clicks, if you are a subscriber)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • Email Marketing & Communication: To send you newsletters, educational content, and occasional promotional emails and product recommendations about gut, oral, and overall wellness topics you signed up to receive.
  • Content Delivery: To deliver lead magnets, guides, and other resources you have requested.
  • Website Analytics: To understand how visitors use our website, improve user experience, and optimize our content.
  • Advertising Optimization: To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and show you relevant content.
  • Purchase Event Processing: If you purchase a product through one of our affiliate links via Digistore24, we may process limited transaction data (your email address and transaction identifiers such as order ID, product name, and transaction date) to ensure you receive relevant post-purchase content and are no longer sent promotional emails for a product you already own. This processing occurs through our automation platform (Zapier) and email marketing platform (Kit) and is based on our legitimate interest in providing a relevant subscriber experience (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Transaction metadata used for this matching process is cleared from our email marketing platform within 7 days of processing. Your email address is the only personal data actively collected in this process; names are not collected unless you have voluntarily provided yours through our preference center or direct correspondence. Purchases made through affiliate links via ClickBank are processed by ClickBank as the retailer of record and are not currently routed through our automation platform. This means subscriber records and post-purchase content are not adjusted based on ClickBank purchase events at this time.
  • Compliance & Legal Obligations: To maintain records required by law and respond to legal requests.
  • Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries and provide assistance.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors from the European Union, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following:

  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): For email marketing communications, cookie-based tracking (analytics and advertising pixels), and processing any special category data. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f)): For basic website functionality, security, and server logging necessary to operate our website; and for purchase event processing to match affiliate purchases to subscriber records, ensuring relevant post-purchase content delivery and suppression of redundant promotional emails. Our legitimate interest is balanced against your rights and does not override your fundamental freedoms. For purchase event processing specifically, the impact on data subjects is minimal (email address only, no marketing sent to non-subscribers, temporary records deleted within 7 days).
  • Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): To deliver resources and services you have specifically requested.
  • Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): To comply with applicable laws and regulations, including maintaining consent records.

DPA: https://zapier.com/dpa (incorporated into Zapier's Terms of Service; standalone signed copy available on request)

Tag Management: Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC (Google Tag Manager)

Data shared: IP address (in standard HTTP request logs only, generated when your browser loads the GTM container script). GTM does not set cookies, does not collect personally identifiable information, and its Use Policy explicitly prohibits uploading data that personally identifies an individual.

Purpose: Tag management infrastructure — deploying and managing our consent management platform (Cookiebot) and consent-gated tags (analytics, advertising pixels) via a centralized container system. GTM loads before any consent-gated tags fire, ensuring that tracking scripts are properly blocked until you provide consent.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) — necessary technical infrastructure for safe and functioning operation of our website's consent management and tag deployment systems.

Data retention: HTTP request logs are deleted within 14 days. Google also collects aggregated diagnostics data about tag firing (containing no IP addresses or individual identifiers) with no stated deletion timeline. Google states that GTM does not otherwise collect, retain, or share any information about visitors.

Location: Ireland (EU) with transfers to USA via Google infrastructure. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and includes Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in its Data Processing Addendum (Google Ads Data Processing Terms). Google Tag Manager holds ISO 27001 certification.

Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

DPA: Google Ads Data Processing Terms (accepted in GTM Account Settings)

Website Hosting: Google LLC (Blogger)

Data shared: Server logs including IP addresses, page requests

Purpose: Website hosting and content delivery

Location: USA (Google infrastructure). Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Domain Registration & Business Email: Hostinger International Ltd

Data shared: Contact information, email content, sender/recipient metadata

Purpose: Domain registration, business email hosting (hello@gut-logic.com), DNS management, and email forwarding to Gmail

Location: Lithuania (EU). Data stored in EU locations (Netherlands, Lithuania, Cyprus, UK).

Privacy Policy: https://www.hostinger.com/privacy-policy

Email Access & Relay: Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC (Gmail)

Data shared: Email content, sender/recipient email addresses, sender/recipient names, email metadata (timestamps, subject lines, headers) — received via email forwarding from Hostinger

Purpose: Centralized business email access with two-factor authentication protection. Incoming emails to hello@gut-logic.com are forwarded from Hostinger to Gmail. Outgoing emails are sent through Hostinger's SMTP server via Gmail's "Send as" feature, so recipients see hello@gut-logic.com as the sender address.

Location: USA (Google infrastructure). Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and includes Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in its terms.

Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Landing Page Hosting: HTMLpub (Leadpages, Inc.) — Independent Controller

Data shared: Anonymized visitor identifier (randomly generated UUID stored in browser localStorage), session identifier (localStorage/ sessionStorage), page views, scroll depth, referrer/UTM parameters, and user agent. IP addresses are used transiently for rate-limiting only and are NOT stored or persisted in the analytics data store. No personally identifiable information is collected.

Purpose: Hosting bridge pages and brand website pages on gut-logic.com, with built-in analytics for page performance measurement.

Relationship: HTMLpub (Leadpages, Inc.) operates as an independent data controller under the Leadpages Data Processing Addendum — Independent Controllers. This means Gut Logic and Leadpages each independently determine how they use the data they collect and each bear their own data protection compliance obligations. Leadpages is not processing data on our instructions as a processor; they collect and process built-in analytics data under their own legal basis and compliance framework.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) for website hosting infrastructure and anonymized performance measurement. Note: HTMLpub's built-in analytics uses browser localStorage for visitor and session identification. Under the ePrivacy Directive, localStorage used for analytics purposes is treated similarly to cookies and would typically require consent for EU visitors. HTMLpub does not currently offer the ability to disable built-in analytics. For non-EU visitors (our primary audience), this processing is covered by legitimate interest. As an independent controller, Leadpages bears its own GDPR compliance obligations for the analytics data it collects. We have requested that HTMLpub add an opt-out toggle and will update this policy if that feature becomes available.

Data retention: 30 days post-account deletion (per HTMLpub Terms of Service). Analytics data retention per HTMLpub/Leadpages standard practices.

Location: USA. HTMLpub operates under the Leadpages Data Processing Addendum — Independent Controllers, which incorporates Module 1 EU Standard Contractual Clauses (controller-to-controller transfers), governed by Irish law.

Additional safeguard: HTMLpub offers an optional "Visitor Intelligence" feature (IP-based visitor enrichment) which is disabled by default and explicitly excludes visitors from EU, EEA, and UK IP ranges by design. This feature is not enabled on our account.

Privacy Policy: https://www.leadpages.com/privacy

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share data as described above or when required by law.

6. International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers are located outside of your country of residence. When we transfer your personal data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

  • EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF): Kit (email marketing), Zapier (purchase event automation), Google (tag management via GTM, Gmail email forwarding, blog hosting via Blogger), Meta, Pinterest, and ClickBank (Click Sales, Inc.) are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, providing adequate protection for EU personal data transferred to the United States. ClickBank is additionally certified under the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF. Kit additionally includes Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) in its Data Processing Addendum. Zapier and Google additionally include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in their respective Data Processing Addendums. HTMLpub (Leadpages) operates under the Leadpages Data Processing Addendum — Independent Controllers, which incorporates Module 1 EU Standard Contractual Clauses (controller-to-controller transfers) for landing page hosting and built-in analytics.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Where DPF certification is not available, we rely on EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your data.
  • EU Data Storage: If Google Analytics 4 is deployed in the future, EU data storage will be enabled, ensuring EU visitor data is processed and stored within the European Union. GA4 is not currently active on our website.

7. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described:

Data Type Retention Period

Email subscriber data Until you unsubscribe + 30 days

Website analytics (GA4) 14 months (not currently active — will apply if GA4 is deployed)

Business email correspondence Per Gmail and Hostinger retention (hello@gut-logic.com) policies (retained until deleted by administrator, or upon request by the correspondent).

Landing page hosting analytics Per HTMLpub/Leadpages standard (HTMLpub) practices. 30 days post-account deletion. Visitor ID and session ID are anonymous UUIDs stored in browser localStorage (cleared when browser data is cleared).

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete it or anonymize it so it can no longer be associated with you.

8. Your Privacy Rights

For EU/UK Residents (GDPR Rights)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

  • Right of Access (Article 15): You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification (Article 16): You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to Erasure (Article 17): You can request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances (also known as the "right to be forgotten").
  • Right to Restriction (Article 18): You can ask us to limit how we use your data while we address concerns you have raised.
  • Right to Data Portability (Article 20): You can request to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format, or have it transferred to another controller.
  • Right to Object (Article 21): You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent (Article 7): Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

For California Residents (CCPA Rights)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with additional rights:

  • Right to Know: You can request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
  • Right to Delete: You can request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: You have the right to opt out of the "sale" of your personal information. However, we do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

"DO NOT SELL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION": Gut Logic does NOT sell personal information to third parties. The sharing of data with our advertising partners (Meta, Pinterest) for targeted advertising purposes does not constitute a "sale" under CCPA when Limited Data Use is enabled, which we have implemented.

For Canadian Residents (CASL/PIPEDA Rights)

Canadian residents have the right to access, correct, and withdraw consent for the use of their personal information. Commercial electronic messages require express consent, which you provide when signing up for our newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time, and we will process your request within 10 business days as required by CASL.

9. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your privacy rights, you may:

  • Email us at: hello@gut-logic.com
  • Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email
  • Adjust your cookie preferences using the cookie banner on our website

When you contact us with a request, we will:

  • Verify your identity to protect your privacy
  • Respond within 30 days (or 45 days for complex requests)
  • Provide the requested information free of charge (one request per 12-month period)
  • Explain any reasons if we cannot fulfill your request

10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps us recognize you and remember your preferences.

Cookie Categories

  • Necessary Cookies: Essential for website functionality (session management, security). These cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to work.
  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and choices (language, display preferences). Default: OFF until you consent.
  • Statistics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website through analytics. Default: OFF until you consent. Note: No statistics cookies are currently active, as Google Analytics 4 has not yet been deployed. However, our hosting platform (HTMLpub) uses browser localStorage for anonymous visitor and session identification as part of its built-in analytics. Under the ePrivacy Directive, localStorage used for analytics is treated similarly to cookies. This localStorage usage cannot currently be disabled or consent-gated through our cookie management platform (Cookiebot), as it is embedded in HTMLpub's page serving infrastructure. The data collected is limited to anonymous visitor IDs, page views, scroll depth, and referrer information. No personally identifiable information is collected or stored.
  • Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements and measure ad campaign effectiveness (Meta Pixel, Pinterest Tag). Default: OFF until you consent.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in our website footer.

We use Cookiebot as our Consent Management Platform. Tracking scripts (Meta Pixel, Pinterest Tag) are automatically blocked until you provide consent for the relevant category. If Google Analytics 4 is deployed in the future, it will also be consent-gated.

11. Advertising Pixels Explained

Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram)

The Meta Pixel is a piece of code that allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions people take on our website. With your consent, the pixel collects:

  • Pages you visit on our website
  • Actions you take (such as signing up for our newsletter)
  • Device and browser information
  • Referral information

This data helps us show relevant content to people who have expressed interest in gut, oral, and overall wellness topics. The pixel only fires after you consent to Marketing cookies. You can learn more about Meta's data practices at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

In addition to browser-based tracking on our website, purchase and checkout-related conversion events (such as checkout initiation) are transmitted to Meta server-to-server via the Conversions API through our affiliate partners (Digistore24 and ClickBank). This server-side connection operates independently of cookies and browser settings. Additionally, if you arrive at our website from a Meta advertisement and click an affiliate link, a Meta-generated click identifier (fbclid) may be carried along with that link so the affiliate platform can include it in its server-side conversion reports to Meta. This identifier is generated by Meta, is used solely for attributing conversion events to advertising activity, and is not stored by us. On Digistore24's order form, a separate cookie consent banner is presented to EU visitors for browser-based tracking on that page. ClickBank's checkout pages (clkbank.com) operate under ClickBank's own privacy practices and tracking configurations.

Pinterest Tag

The Pinterest Tag helps us measure the effectiveness of ads on Pinterest and show relevant content to interested users. With your consent, the tag collects:

  • Pages you visit on our website
  • Actions you take (such as signing up for our newsletter)
  • Device and browser information

The Pinterest Tag only activates after you consent to Marketing cookies via our cookie consent banner. We have disabled Pinterest's "Enhanced Match" feature, which means we do not share your email address or any other personally identifiable information with Pinterest, even in encrypted form.

Unlike the Meta Pixel, the Pinterest Tag does not have a server-side tracking connection. All Pinterest tracking is browser-based and fully controlled by your cookie consent preferences.

12. Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns.

Email us at: hello@gut-logic.com

13. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed at children under the age of 16 (or 13 in the United States). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at hello@gut-logic.com, and we will take steps to delete such information.

14. How We Protect Your Information

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction:

  • SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted to and from our website is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.
  • Secure Service Providers: We only work with reputable service providers who maintain strong security practices and are compliant with applicable data protection regulations.
  • Access Controls: Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their duties.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: We use 2FA on all administrative accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Regular Reviews: We periodically review our data collection, storage, and processing practices to ensure ongoing security.

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.

15. Affiliate Disclosure

Gut Logic participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on our website and in our emails are affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

We only recommend products that we believe may genuinely benefit our audience based on research and alignment with our educational mission. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations.

Our affiliate partners are Digistore24 (a Germany-based platform that handles transaction processing according to EU compliance practices) and ClickBank / Click Sales, Inc. (a US-based retailer of record headquartered in Boise, Idaho, and certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). When you make a purchase through one of our affiliate links, the platform that hosts that product (either Digistore24 or ClickBank) acts as an independent data controller for that transaction and processes the payment under its own privacy policy. The applicable platform is determined by the vendor of the specific product you are purchasing.

3 Ways Your Gut Bacteria Influence Insulin Sensitivity (New Research)

Insulin sensitivity is one of those terms that shows up everywhere in health conversations, but the mechanism behind it is rarely explained in full. Most people understand the basics: eat less sugar, move more, insulin works better. But research published in the last few years has added a layer to this picture that changes how scientists think about metabolic health entirely. That layer is the gut microbiome. And the connection runs deeper than most people realize. 1. Your Gut Bacteria Produce Insulin-Signaling Molecules When you eat fiber, certain species of gut bacteria ferment it into compounds called short-chain fatty acids. The three main ones are butyrate, propionate, and acetate. These aren't just byproducts of digestion. According to a review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, SCFAs act as signaling molecules that regulate the body's energy balance through G-protein coupled receptors called GPR41 and GPR43 (Portincasa et al., 2022; DOI: 10....

The Insulin Resistance Factor Nobody Talks About (It Starts in Your Gut)

Most conversations about insulin resistance focus on sugar, carbs, and exercise. And those factors matter. But published research is revealing a mechanism that rarely makes it into the mainstream conversation: the gut microbiome. Your gut contains trillions of bacteria. And according to a growing body of peer-reviewed research, those bacteria don't just digest food. They produce metabolites that directly influence how your body responds to insulin. Here's what the science actually says. The Short-Chain Fatty Acid Connection When gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber, they produce compounds called short-chain fatty acids, or SCFAs. The three most abundant are butyrate, propionate, and acetate. According to research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, these SCFAs are the most abundant anions in the human colon, and they modulate several metabolic pathways involved in insulin resistance (Portincasa et al., 2022; DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031105). SCFAs aren...

Your Gut Bacteria May Be Influencing Your Weight More Than Your Diet

 You can eat the same meals as someone else and gain weight while they stay lean. For decades, the explanation was willpower, genetics, or metabolism. But research is pointing to a factor most people overlook entirely: the bacteria living in your gut. Your gut microbiome — the trillions of microorganisms in your digestive tract — plays a measurable role in how your body processes food. One of the most studied aspects of this relationship involves two dominant bacterial families: Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The ratio between these two groups influences how efficiently your body extracts calories from the food you eat. In simple terms, some microbial compositions are better at harvesting energy from food than others. Two people eating the same meal can absorb different amounts of calories from it — not because of their metabolism in the traditional sense, but because of who's living in their gut. But it goes further than calorie extraction. Your gut bacteria influence hunger ho...
