​

This privacy policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use my website.

​

What information I collect

When you use this website, I may collect:

- Your name and email address when you sign up for my newsletter or contact me through a form.  
- Basic technical information such as your browser type, device information, and IP address to help me understand how people use the site (e.g., via analytics).  
- Any other information you voluntarily share with me, such as in messages, comments, or submissions.

I do not collect sensitive information (such as your health details or financial data) unless you choose to share it directly with me, for example, in a personal message or story contribution.

​

How I use your information

I use your information:

- To respond to your messages, comments, or requests.  
- To send you newsletters, updates, or information you have signed up for.  
- To improve the website, fix errors, and understand which pages are most useful.  
- To comply with any legal obligations, if required.

​

If you sign up for a mailing list, information is stored in my email‑marketing platform (e.g., Wix Email Marketing). These services may use cookies or tracking tools; you can read their own privacy terms on their websites.

​

Cookies and tracking

My site may use cookies and analytics tools to track general usage patterns, such as how many visitors come to the site and which pages they read. This helps me improve the site and does not personally identify you unless you log in or sign up.  
You can change your browser settings to block or delete cookies if you prefer.

​

Sharing and disclosure

I do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.  

I may share your information only:

- With trusted service providers (such as email platforms or website‑hosting tools) that help me run the site.  
- If required by law, or to protect my rights, safety, or the safety of others.

​

How long I keep your information

I keep your information only as long as it is needed for the purposes described above. If you unsubscribe from my mailing list, your contact details will be removed from that list, though I may keep anonymized usage data for analytics purposes.

​

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

- Access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you.  
- Stop receiving marketing emails by using the “unsubscribe” link in any email.  
- Ask questions about how your data is used.
