Last updated: April 18, 2025
Welcome to StringofLetters.com — a personal blog where I share reflections, writings, and explorations of life, travel, spirituality, health, and more. Your privacy is important to me. This policy explains what personal information is collected when you visit the site, how it’s used, and your rights regarding that information.
Please note: This website may contain affiliate links and offers for products or services, including my own.
1. Information I Collect
Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide:
When you sign up for an email list, submit a contact form, or otherwise reach out, you may provide information like:
- Your name
- Your email address

Automatically Collected Information:
Like most websites, I use tools like Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data. This includes:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages you visit and how long you stay
- Referring websites
This helps me understand what kind of content resonates and improve the site experience.
2. Cookies
StringofLetters.com uses cookies—small data files stored on your device—to:
- Analyze site traffic and behavior via Google Analytics
- Remember your preferences or settings (if applicable)
You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings.
3. How Your Information Is Used
Your information may be used to:
- Send occasional newsletters or updates (if you subscribe)
- Respond to messages you submit
- Analyze site traffic and performance
- Maintain site security
4. Sharing of Information
I do not sell or rent your personal data.
However, I may share limited information with third-party services I use to run the site effectively. For example:
- Email marketing platforms (like Mailchimp, Substack, etc.)
- Website analytics tools (like Google Analytics)
- Contact form plugins or hosting providers
These tools only receive the data they need to operate and are expected to keep it secure.
5. Affiliate Links & Products
This site may include affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. I only share products or services I personally use, believe in, or feel may be genuinely valuable to my readers.
Additionally, I may offer and sell my own products or services, such as digital downloads, courses, writing, or other creative offerings. When purchasing, you may be asked to provide additional information (such as payment details), which will be handled securely through third-party payment processors.
Affiliate partnerships and product sales help support the work I do here — thank you for your support!
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location (especially if you’re in the EU, UK, or California), you may have rights under data protection laws, including:
- The right to access or correct your personal data
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to opt-out of emails or tracking
7. Third-Party Links
Sometimes I link to other websites or services. Please note that I’m not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites.
8. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated periodically. If any significant changes are made, I’ll note them here. Check back from time to time to stay informed.
