Privacy Policy

Your Pri­va­cy Mat­ters (A Real Per­son Wrote This!)

Last Updat­ed: [Date]

Hi! It's actu­al­ly me, Abby, writ­ing this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. I know these are usu­al­ly bor­ing and full of legal jar­gon, but I want­ed you to actu­al­ly under­stand what hap­pens with your infor­ma­tion when you vis­it my lit­tle cor­ner of the inter­net.

What Information I Collect

When You're Just Brows­ing:

  • Basic ana­lyt­ics (like how many peo­ple vis­it and which pages you like)
  • Gen­er­al loca­tion (like city, not your address!)
  • What device you're using (phone, com­put­er, etc.)

This is auto­mat­ic through Google Ana­lyt­ics – I use it to under­stand what con­tent helps you most.

When You Sign Up for Emails:

  • Your email address (obvi­ous­ly!)
  • Your first name (if you share it)
  • What you down­loaded (so I don't send it twice)

When You Com­ment:

  • What­ev­er name you choose to use
  • Your email (not pub­licly shown)
  • Your com­ment (pub­licly vis­i­ble)

How I Use Your Information

Your Email:

  • Send you the free­bie you request­ed
  • Week­ly newslet­ters (if you opt­ed in)
  • Occa­sion­al updates about new con­tent
  • Nev­er sold, rent­ed, or shared with spam­my peo­ple

Ana­lyt­ics Data:

  • Fig­ure out what con­tent you find help­ful
  • Improve the web­site expe­ri­ence
  • Under­stand when you're online (so I post at good times)

Cookies (The Digital Kind)

This site uses cook­ies to:

  • Remem­ber if you've vis­it­ed before
  • Keep track of what's in your shop­ping cart (if applic­a­ble)
  • Make sure the site works prop­er­ly

You can dis­able cook­ies in your brows­er if you want – the site will still work!

Third-Party Services

I use a few out­side ser­vices:

  • Google Ana­lyt­ics — For under­stand­ing traf­fic
  • Email Ser­vice — For newslet­ter deliv­ery
  • Ama­zon Asso­ciates — For prod­uct rec­om­men­da­tions

Each has their own pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, which you can find on their web­sites.

Your Rights

You can always:

  • Unsub­scribe from emails (link at the bot­tom of every email)
  • Ask me to delete your data
  • Ask what infor­ma­tion I have about you
  • Tell me to stop using your infor­ma­tion

Just email me at [email] – I'm a real per­son and will real­ly respond!

Security

I take rea­son­able pre­cau­tions to pro­tect your infor­ma­tion. But let's be hon­est – I'm not a tech giant. I use rep­utable ser­vices and fol­low best prac­tices, but no sys­tem is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

This site is for adults (exhaust­ed par­ents, most­ly!). I don't know­ing­ly col­lect infor­ma­tion from kids under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If I make big changes, I'll email sub­scribers and post a notice on the site.

Thanks for trust­ing me with your infor­ma­tion. I don't take that light­ly.

-Abby
