Privacy Policy – Earthlyours
Welcome to Earthlyours — an eco-education and sustainability platform dedicated to building eco-consciousness through knowledge, habit change, and community action. We believe that living sustainably starts with making better choices, not simply buying more things. Your privacy is a responsibility we take seriously, and we’re committed to protecting it with transparency and care.
Who We Are
At Earthlyours, our goal is to make sustainability cost-effective—and often free—by helping you use what you already have, make small changes in your daily life, and reduce unnecessary consumption. While we may recommend products that align with our values, purchasing them is never a requirement for joining our mission. We focus on empowering mindful habits, whether or not they involve a purchase.
