This website is operated by 40 Day Communications, LLC d/b/a 40 Day Living. Throughout the site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to 40 Day Living.
At 40 Day Living, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy is here to help you better understand how we collect, use and share your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from our website (www.40dayliving.com).
If we make any changes to this policy, the update will be reflected by a new revision date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically if you ever want to know how we’re handling your information.
Our Values
At the core of everything we do is a simple principle: RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT US. Whether you’re buying starter plants, reading a blog post, or just browsing, our mission is to give you the best of what we offer with honesty, integrity and respect. We’re here to grow and share goodness, not gather unnecessary information.
We collect only what we need to make sure your order gets where it’s going and that your shopping experience runs smoothly. Nothing more. We’re not interested in poking around your personal life and we don’t want to be. That’s not who we are.
Your Information Belongs to You
We believe that your personal data is yours. You have the right to know what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We never sell your information and we never share it without your expressed permission. You have the final say over your data, and we strictly limit what we collect and how it’s used.

- Name
- Address (for delivery or pickup details)
- Email address (for order communication)
- Phone number (to contact you if there’s a problem with your order)
- Geolocation (to provide relevant services or shipping options)
- Standard technical info (IP address, browser type, device type, etc., collected by our website software, WooCommerce, and WordPress)
We do not require user accounts anymore, so your order history and account details are not saved after your order is complete.

- Online order and contact forms
- Secure checkout/payment pages

How to Access or Request Your Data
If you’d like to know what we’ve collected about you, contact us at customersupport@40dayliving.com.
Please note: We don’t collect much of your personal information to begin with, so there may not be a whole lot to send you, but we’ll provide what we have. Allow up to 45 days for a response.
How We Keep Your Data Secure
Your privacy and security are a top priority. We take strong measures to protect your personal information and ensure that your online experience is safe and secure.
All payments on our site are processed through a trusted third-party payment processor. That means we never see, store, or have access to your credit card or bank information. Your payment details are handled exclusively by the secure service provider you select during checkout.
The only customer information we collect directly is your name, email address, phone number, and physical mailing address, and we work hard to keep that safe.
Our website is protected by HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure), which provides an encrypted connection between your browser and our website. This encryption helps prevent third parties from intercepting sensitive data as it travels over the internet. HTTPS also ensures that:
- You’re securely connected to our actual website (not a fraudulent copy)
- Your personal information is encrypted, making it much harder for hackers to steal or tamper with it
- Your browsing activity on our site remains private
You’ll know you’re on a secure page when you see a padlock icon in your browser’s address bar and the URL starts with https://.
We also keep our website software up to date and follow best practices to safeguard against unauthorized access, data breaches, and misuse of your information.
If you ever have questions about how your data is handled, feel free to
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your data only as long as needed to:
- Process and deliver your order
- Handle any returns or refunds
- Fulfill legal or tax obligations
After that, we delete it. Plain and simple.
