Last updated: September 15, 2026
Functional Medicine Market Map (“FMMM,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
- Account information: When you register for a free or paid FMMM membership, we collect your name, email address, and password.
- Contact and inquiry information: When you submit a form on this site (general inquiries, listing submissions, corrections, partnership requests), we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email, and message content.
- Usage data: Like most websites, we automatically collect standard technical information — browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location derived from IP address — through analytics tools and cookies.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate your account, respond to inquiries and listing requests, route your message to the right team (support, partnerships, or general), improve the site, and — only where you’ve opted in — send you updates about FMMM.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality and to understand how visitors use the site (analytics). You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how parts of the site function.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party service providers to operate this site and its forms, including:
- GoHighLevel — processes form submissions and manages our email communications with you.
- Hosting and analytics providers — support site infrastructure and usage measurement.
These providers process data on our behalf and are not authorized to use it for their own purposes.
Data Retention and Your Rights
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to respond to your inquiry. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing support@functionalmedicinemarketmap.com.
Not Medical Advice
FMMM is a business directory and market intelligence platform for the functional medicine industry. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, and FMMM is not a healthcare provider.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date above.
SMS and Text Message Communications
Where you provide a mobile phone number and expressly consent, Functional Medicine Market Map may send you text messages. We collect mobile phone numbers only through forms where consent is obtained, and we maintain a record of that consent.
No mobile information will be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in data and consent records are never shared with third parties for their own marketing.
We use two categories of message:
- Non-marketing (transactional): account notifications, appointment and booking confirmations, billing and renewal notices, security alerts, and service updates.
- Marketing: information about products, services, offers, and events, sent only where you have separately opted in.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
To opt out, reply STOP to any message. You will receive a single confirmation and no further messages in that category. For help, reply HELP or contact us at support@functionalmedicinemarketmap.com.
Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service.
We share mobile numbers only with service providers who transmit messages on our behalf (for example, our CRM and messaging platform), and those providers are contractually prohibited from using the information for their own purposes.

1. Who We Are
This policy explains how SAMTI Management, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company doing business as Functional Medicine Market Map (“FMMM,” “we,” “us”), collects and uses personal information through functionalmedicinemarketmap.com, its subdomains, and related services (the “Services”).
For residents of the EEA/UK, FMMM is the data controller for the personal information described here.
Contact: support@functionalmedicinemarketmap.com · 1718 Capitol Ave., Cheyenne, WY 82001
2. Scope
This policy covers information we collect from visitors, free-tier users, paid members, Directory listees, and affiliate program participants.
It does not cover the privacy practices of third-party websites, practitioners, or vendors you find through the Directory. It also does not cover data you process using Platform Tools in your own business — for that data, you are the controller and we act as your processor under our agreement with you.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Information you give us
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account | Name, email, phone, password |
| Billing | Billing name, address, and the last four digits and expiry of your card. Full card numbers are collected and stored by our payment processor, never by us. |
| Listing | Business name, credentials, certifications, specialties, service descriptions, locations, photos, links |
| Communications | Support messages, form submissions, survey and quiz responses |
| Affiliate | Payout details and tax information where you enroll in a referral program |
3.2 Information collected automatically
- Usage and device data: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time on page, and click behavior.
- Cookies and similar technologies: see Section 6.
- Referral attribution: where you arrive through an affiliate link, a tracking identifier records which promoter referred you.
3.3 Information from third parties
- Our payment processor confirms transaction status and provides limited billing metadata.
- Analytics providers supply aggregated audience information.
- Where you sign in or connect a third-party service, that provider may share profile information with us.
3.4 Sensitive information we do not want
Do not submit protected health information, patient records, or clinical data to the Services. The Services are business software and are not configured to receive PHI unless you have a separate written agreement with us. If you submit PHI without such an agreement, you do so in violation of our Terms and at your own risk.
4. How We Use Information
- Create and administer your account and membership
- Process payments and manage recurring billing
- Operate, display, and maintain the Directory
- Provide customer support
- Send transactional messages (receipts, renewal notices, service and security notices)
- Send marketing communications where you have opted in
- Attribute referrals and calculate affiliate commissions
- Measure and improve the Services
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms
Legal bases (EEA/UK): performance of a contract; legitimate interests in operating and securing the Services; consent for marketing and non-essential cookies; and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Email and SMS Communications
5.1 Transactional. We send messages necessary to your account — receipts, renewal notices, security alerts, and service updates. These are not marketing and you cannot opt out while you hold an active account.
5.2 Marketing. We send marketing email only where you have opted in. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link.
6. Cookies, Analytics, and Your Choices
6.1 What we use.
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Login, security, cart and checkout function. Cannot be disabled. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager — how visitors find and use the site |
| Affiliate attribution | Identifies the promoter who referred a visitor, so commissions are paid correctly |
| Functional | Remembers preferences |
6.2 Consent. Non-essential cookies load only in accordance with your consent choices. We use a consent management tool and Google Consent Mode, which adjusts tag behavior based on your selection. You can change your choices anytime via the cookie settings link in the site footer.
6.3 Do Not Track. Browsers send DNT signals inconsistently and there is no common standard. Where required by applicable law, we treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out request.
6.4 Opting out of Google Analytics. You may install Google’s browser opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share it only as follows:
| Recipient | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Payment processor | Process payments, manage subscriptions, prevent fraud |
| CRM and automation platform | Store contact records, deliver email/SMS, run workflows |
| Analytics providers | Measure site usage |
| Affiliate tracking provider | Attribute referrals and calculate commissions |
| Hosting and infrastructure | Operate the Services |
| Professional advisors | Legal, accounting, and audit, under confidentiality |
Public display. Information you put in a Directory Listing is published publicly and may be indexed by search engines. Do not include anything you do not want public.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or court order, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will provide notice before it becomes subject to a materially different policy.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active and afterward as needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
- Account and billing records: retained for seven (7) years after account closure for tax and accounting purposes
- Directory listings: removed on request or on account termination
- Analytics data: subject to the retention period configured in our analytics provider’s settings
- Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe, plus a suppression record so we don’t re-contact you
9. Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls, and use of PCI-compliant payment processors.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential.
10. Your Rights
10.1 All users. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and may object to or restrict certain processing. Contact support@functionalmedicinemarketmap.com. We will verify your identity before acting.

Submit a request at support@functionalmedicinemarketmap.com or functionalmedicinemarketmap.com/privacy-policy/. Authorized agents may submit on your behalf with proof of authorization.
10.3 EEA/UK residents (GDPR). In addition to the above you have the right to data portability, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
