Privacy Policy – Planetary Pulse Magazine

Effective Date: August 21, 2026

Planetary Pulse Magazine is a publication of the Center for Planetary Management and is operated by Kona
Wisdom House LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling personal

process it on our behalf, and the choices available to visitors and subscribers.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Google Analytics and Website Measurement

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use
Planetary Pulse Magazine and how they interact with our content.

Google Analytics may collect information such as the number of users and sessions, approximate geographic
location, browser and device information, pages viewed, traffic sources, and interactions with website content.

Google Analytics may use first-party cookies and similar identifiers to distinguish users and sessions.
We have enabled Google Analytics Enhanced Measurement. Depending on a visitor’s activity and our
configuration, this may measure interactions such as page views, scrolling, outbound-link clicks, site searches,
video engagement, and file downloads. We use these measurements to evaluate readership, content usefulness,
website performance, and the reader experience.

We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or other information that directly
identifies an individual to Google Analytics. Google processes Analytics information according to its own terms,
privacy practices, and data-processing requirements.

Visitors can control or delete cookies through their browser settings. Where applicable, additional cookie or consent
controls may also be made available on the website. Disabling analytics cookies or related storage may limit the
information available to us about website usage.

Google also provides information and tools concerning how Google Analytics processes data and available visitor controls. Links to relevant Google privacy and Analytics information may be provided on our website.

4. Third-Party Services

Planetary Pulse Magazine uses third-party services to operate the publication and provide subscriptions,
memberships, communications, security, payments, and website measurement. These may include:

• WordPress – website publishing and account functionality
• SureCart – subscription, checkout, and transaction functionality
• SureMembers – membership and content-access management
• FluentCRM and related email-delivery services – subscriber communications and email management
• Stripe and/or PayPal – payment processing, when applicable
• Google Site Kit and Google Analytics – website measurement, traffic, content, and engagement analytics
• Web-hosting, backup, security, and related service providers – operation and protection of the website

These providers may process information necessary to perform their services. Their handling of information is also
governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We do not sell or rent personal information.

5. Payments

Payment information is processed through the payment processor used for the applicable transaction, such as
Stripe or PayPal. Planetary Pulse Magazine does not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers on its own
website. Payment processors may collect and retain information as required to process transactions, prevent fraud,
comply with law, and provide their services.

6. Email Communications

Subscribers may receive account notifications, subscription confirmations, renewal notices, magazine updates,
newsletters, and other communications associated with their relationship with Planetary Pulse Magazine.
You may unsubscribe from non-essential marketing or publication communications by using the unsubscribe option
provided in the message. We may still send communications necessary to administer an account, subscription,
transaction, security matter, or other service you requested.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to support account login, security,
preferences, website functionality, payment processes, and analytics. Google Analytics, for example, may use a
first-party cookie to distinguish users and sessions.
You may manage cookies through your browser settings and, where provided, through website consent controls.
Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality or the accuracy of analytics.

8. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information:

• To service providers that perform functions necessary to operate the website and publication
• To payment processors for transactions and fraud prevention
• When required by law, legal process, or governmental request
• When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Planetary Pulse Magazine, Kona
  Wisdom House LLC, our users, or others
• In connection with a merger, reorganization, transfer, or sale of all or part of the business, subject to applicable
  law

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information from
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No internet-based service or method of electronic
storage can guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, administer subscriptions
and accounts, meet legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and protect legitimate business interests.

Google Analytics maintains separate retention controls for certain user-level and event-level analytics data.
Retention within Google Analytics is governed by the settings selected for our Analytics property and Google’s
applicable policies. Aggregated reporting may be retained differently from user-level or event-level data.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about you,
subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

12. Third-Party Links

Our magazine content may contain links to websites and resources operated by third parties. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third-party sites. We encourage visitors to review
the privacy policies of sites they choose to visit.

13. Children’s Privacy

Planetary Pulse Magazine is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal
information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable
steps to delete it.

14. Applicable Privacy and Security Requirements

We seek to handle personal information in accordance with privacy, data-security, consumer-protection, and
communications requirements applicable to our operations. Because privacy rights and obligations vary by
jurisdiction and may change over time, this policy describes our general practices rather than guaranteeing that
every law applies to every visitor or interaction.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, technology, vendors, or legal obligations change. The revised
policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated
through other appropriate means.
