We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1) What we collect
Site activity & device data. When you visit our site we (and our service providers) may collect IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, referring URLs, and general location (city/region) via cookies and similar tech. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this.
Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe, we collect your email and any optional fields you share. Email delivery and subscriber management are powered by Beehiiv (our email service provider).
Contact & feedback. If you contact us or respond to surveys, we collect the info you provide so we can reply and improve our work.
Purchases (future). If we sell paid products, checkout will be handled by Stripe or a similar processor. We don’t store full payment card details; processors handle them securely.
2) How we use information
Provide the website and newsletter you request.
Send educational content, updates, and occasional offers (you can unsubscribe anytime).
Understand aggregate usage so we can improve content and performance.
Prevent fraud, secure our services, and comply with law.
3) Legal bases (EEA/UK only)
We process personal data based on: consent (newsletter/marketing cookies), legitimate interests (site security and basic analytics), and contract (delivering content you requested).
4) Sharing with service providers
We share information only with vendors who help us operate the site and newsletter, under contracts that limit their use of your data:
Wix (site hosting/build)
Beehiiv (email/newsletter platform and its sub-processors for email infrastructure)
Google Analytics (website analytics)
Stripe (payments, if/when enabled)
We may also disclose information when required by law or during a business transfer.
5) Cookies & similar technologies
Essential cookies operate the site and cannot be turned off.
Analytics cookies (e.g., GA4) help us understand site usage.
Marketing cookies are used only if/when we run ads.

6) Your choices
Unsubscribe: every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
Analytics controls: use browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

8) International transfers
Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal data. No system is 100% secure.
