Privacy Policy.

Rick Muenchau / The Rebuild Movement ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, download resources, contact us, book a call, subscribe to emails, or use related services.

This website is owned and operated by Rick Muenchau, founder of The Rebuild Movement and RCM Digital Media LLC, located in Springfield, Ohio. When we say "you" or "your," we mean any visitor to or user of rickmuenchau.com.

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. By using this website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We collect information in two ways — information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit our site.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers or government ID numbers.

We may use your information to:

• Provide and deliver guides, downloads, newsletters, and other content
• Respond to your messages, questions, or requests
• Schedule and manage calls or consultations
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and services
• Send updates, newsletters, or promotional emails you have opted into
• Monitor usage, performance, and security
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or misuse
• Comply with legal obligations
• Personalize content, offers, or recommendations
• Process payments and fulfill purchases

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects without human review.

If you sign up for a guide, newsletter, waitlist, or other resource, we may send you emails related to:

• The requested download or resource
• Updates from The Rebuild Movement
• New guides, tools, offers, or announcements

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send, or by contacting us directly at [email protected].

We may still send transactional or service-related emails when necessary — such as booking confirmations, receipts, or account notices. These cannot be opted out of while you are an active customer.

Our email communications are managed through Mailchimp. By subscribing, your email address is stored in Mailchimp's system subject to their privacy policy.

If you provide your phone number through a contact form, booking tool, or other submission, we may use it to:

• Contact you regarding your request or inquiry
• Deliver information related to a resource, booking, or service
• Send service-related updates

We do not send marketing text messages without your explicit consent where required by applicable law. Standard message and data rates may apply if we do communicate via SMS.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to any message we send, or by contacting us directly.

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand site traffic and usage, improve website functionality, and measure performance.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of this website. For more information about managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

We use trusted third-party tools and platforms to operate this website and deliver our services. These third parties may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.

Examples of how third-party data processing works in practice:

• If you click a booking link or use a scheduling tool, your information may be processed by Calendly.
• If you subscribe to emails, your information is processed by Mailchimp.
• If you interact with analytics or embedded content, those providers may use cookies or similar technologies.

Rick Muenchau operates LIFELINE (lifeline.rickmuenchau.com) and may offer other AI-powered or interactive tools. If you use LIFELINE or any other interactive tool we provide, we may collect the information you submit in order to generate responses, recommendations, resources, or downloads.

Information submitted through LIFELINE or other interactive tools may be processed through third-party AI providers. We do not store or retain the content of individual AI conversations beyond what is necessary for the tool to function in your current session, unless you explicitly provide contact information for follow-up.

When you purchase products or services through rickmuenchau.com, payment processing is handled by secure third-party payment processors. We do not store your full credit card number, CVV, or bank account information on our servers.

Payment data is transmitted directly to our payment processors using industry-standard SSL encryption. All payment transactions are PCI-DSS compliant through our payment partners.

We may retain certain non-sensitive transaction information such as your name, email address, purchase amount, and date of transaction for our records, order fulfillment, and legal compliance purposes.

If you have questions about a specific transaction or need to request a refund, please contact us directly at [email protected].

We do not sell your personal information for money or for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — with vendors who help us operate the website, deliver services, process payments, or provide technical support (such as those listed in Section 7)
• Legal requirements — if required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request
• Safety and protection — to protect our rights, users, safety, or property, or to prevent fraud or illegal activity
• Business transfer — in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or reorganization of our business. If this occurs, we will notify you and your information will remain subject to this Privacy Policy or a policy that provides equivalent protections.

We require all third parties who receive your information to maintain appropriate security standards and to use your data only for the purposes we specify.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

• Email list data — retained until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
• Contact form submissions — retained for up to 2 years for reference and follow-up purposes.
• Analytics data — Google Analytics retains data per their standard retention policy (typically 26 months).
• Transaction records — retained for 7 years in accordance with Ohio tax and accounting requirements.
• Interactive tool data — not retained beyond your active session unless you provide contact information.

We may delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed for any of the above purposes.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include SSL encryption, secure hosting through Kinsta, and access controls on our internal systems.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately.

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Right to correction — request that we correct any inaccurate information
• Right to deletion — request that we delete your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements
• Right to opt out — unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email
• Right to data portability — request your data in a portable, machine-readable format
• Right to object or limit processing — object to how we process your data in certain circumstances
• Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time

To make a privacy request or exercise any of the above rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.

If you live in a U.S. state with applicable privacy laws — including but not limited to California (CCPA), Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), or Texas (TDPSA) — you may have additional rights regarding access, deletion, correction, and opt-out choices.

We will honor qualifying privacy requests as required by applicable law. To submit a request, contact us at [email protected].

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete that information promptly.

If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, please ensure you have the permission of a parent or guardian before submitting any personal information through this website or its interactive tools.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services that are not owned or operated by Rick Muenchau or The Rebuild Movement. These links are provided for your convenience and information only.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or accuracy of any third-party websites. Clicking a link to an external website means you are leaving rickmuenchau.com and are subject to the privacy policy of that external site.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit before providing personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page and update the Effective Date at the top.

Your continued use of rickmuenchau.com after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.

For significant changes that materially affect how we use your personal information, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you — such as by sending an email to subscribers or posting a prominent notice on the website.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, please reach out to us directly. We are committed to resolving all privacy concerns promptly and transparently.
