Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
We are committed to transparency regarding the types of personal information we may gather when you visit and interact with this website. Information is collected in two primary ways:
Information You Provide Voluntarily
When you choose to engage with us directly, we may collect the following:
- Your name and email address — provided when you fill out a contact form, reach out with a question, or sign up to join our mailing list
- Any additional information you choose to share — including details included in messages, inquiries, or submissions you send through the site
We only collect what you willingly provide, and we respect your choice in how much or how little you share.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, this site may also gather certain technical data automatically when you visit. This includes:
- Basic analytics data — such as which pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, and your general geographic region (this data is aggregated and non-identifiable; we cannot determine who you are from it)
- Device and browser information — such as the type of device you are using and the browser through which you access the site
This automatically collected information helps us understand how visitors navigate the site, which content resonates most, and where improvements can be made to enhance your overall experience.
2. How Your Information Is Used
Any information we collect is used solely to serve you better and to maintain the quality and relevance of this website. Specifically, we use your information to:
- Respond to your inquiries or messages — when you reach out, we use your contact details to get back to you in a timely manner
- Send email communications — if you choose to subscribe to our mailing list, we will use your email address to deliver the content you’ve signed up for
- Improve website performance and content — analytics data helps us refine the site, fix issues, and ensure the material we publish is useful and accessible
- Share updates, articles, or resources — only when you have explicitly opted in will we reach out with news, writing, books, or other resources related to our work
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party — ever. Your data is used only for the purposes described above and nothing more.
3. Email Communications
If you choose to subscribe to our mailing list, here is what you can expect:
- Occasional emails containing articles, updates, book announcements, recommended resources, or other content relevant to our work — we respect your inbox and do not send excessive or unnecessary messages
- A simple, hassle-free way to unsubscribe — every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and you can opt out at any time with a single click, no questions asked
- Secure storage of your information — your contact details are stored through a reputable third-party email service provider (such as MailerLite or a comparable platform) that maintains its own security and data protection standards
We will never use your subscription as an opportunity to flood your inbox with unsolicited content, and your decision to unsubscribe will always be honored promptly.
4. Cookies and Analytics
This website may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to help us better understand how visitors interact with the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow websites to remember certain information across visits. We may use them to:
- Understand visitor behavior — such as which pages are most frequently visited, how users move through the site, and where they exit
- Improve user experience — by identifying patterns that help us make the site easier to navigate and more enjoyable to use
It is important to note that these cookies do not collect personally identifiable information unless you have directly provided it (for example, by filling out a form). We are not using cookies to track you as an individual or build a personal profile.
If you prefer not to allow cookies, you can adjust your settings at any time through your web browser. Most browsers provide straightforward options to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect some aspects of your experience on the site.
5. Third-Party Services
To operate this website effectively, we may make use of trusted third-party tools and platforms. These services help us manage communications, analyze site traffic, and connect visitors with relevant resources. The third-party services we may use include:
- Email marketing services (such as MailerLite) — to manage our subscriber list and deliver email communications
- Analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) — to collect aggregated, anonymized data about how visitors use the site
- External links and affiliate platforms (such as Amazon) — for book purchases or other resources we recommend
Please be aware that these third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and data practices. While we make every effort to work only with reputable providers, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external website or service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party platforms you engage with through links on this site.
6. How Your Information Is Protected
We take the privacy and security of your personal information seriously and implement reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the data we collect. Access to your information is limited, and we do not retain data beyond what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
That said, it is important to understand that no method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is completely secure. While we do our best to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all possible threats or unauthorized access. We appreciate your understanding of this inherent limitation of online communication.
7. Your Rights
You retain important rights with respect to your personal information. At any time, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you, so you can review what information is on file
- Request corrections to any information that is inaccurate or outdated
- Request deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain certain records
- Unsubscribe from communications at any time, without needing to provide a reason
To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to us using the contact information provided at the end of this policy. We will respond to all reasonable requests in a timely manner.
8. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personal information from children. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 has submitted personal information to us without parental consent, please contact us immediately and we will take appropriate steps to remove that information from our records.
9. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the tools and services we use. When updates are made, the revised policy will be posted on this page along with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed about how we handle your information. Your continued use of the website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Contact Information
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way your personal information is collected and used, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are happy to provide clarification and address any issues you may have.
