Privacy Policy

Collecting data like names, emails, and IP addresses helps my visitors have a great experience while using my website. It also helps me make improvements to my website over time. 

Virtually all modern websites collect regulated data. It’s also a big deterrent to spammers trying to attack my contact forms. In addition, it would be impossible to take payments without this data.  So collecting data is normal for websites, and it may be a lot more common than you think.

I ONLY share your data with 3rd party integrations I’ve installed myself, on my site, to help me provide a seamless service. These 3rd parties include Payment gateway integrations (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) and Email newsletters, e.g. ActiveCampaign.
