Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2026 · ownyourstory.love

1. Information We Collect

When you subscribe to the newsletter or use the contact form, we collect the information you provide: your email address, and any name or message you choose to include. We do not require any other personal data to subscribe.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to send the newsletter you requested, to respond to messages you send us, and to improve the website. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

3. Email Marketing & Consent

Subscriptions use a double opt-in: after signing up you receive a confirmation email that you must confirm. Every newsletter includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and you may withdraw your consent at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

This website relies on trusted service providers: Brevo hosts our signup forms and sends our email (their privacy policy applies to data they process on our behalf), Netlify hosts this site, and Google Fonts provides typography. Each provider may process data only for the services they perform for us.

5. Data Retention & Security

We keep contact data only as long as it is needed for the purposes above or until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Access to subscriber data is limited to the site owner, and transmission to providers is encrypted (HTTPS).

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time, or ask us to stop sending the newsletter. To exercise any right, contact us using the details in section 10 below.

7. Cookies & Analytics

This site does not use advertising cookies. Our hosting and font providers may set strictly necessary technical cookies or log standard server data (such as IP address) to operate the site.

8. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will always show the most recent revision, and changes take effect when published on this page.
