Michelle Writes (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website michellewrites.ink (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways:
- Information you provide. When you use our contact form, subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment, or place an order, you may give us your name, email address, and any details you include in your message or order.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. This is gathered using cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our third-party partners use cookies to remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and to deliver and measure advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, although some features of the Site may not work properly as a result.
Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the Site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are viewed and how often. We use this information only to improve the Site. You can review the Google Privacy Policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Email Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter, we use your email address to send updates, new release announcements, and resources. Our mailing list is managed through Mailchimp, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Purchases
If you buy a product through our shop, we collect the information needed to process your order, such as your name, billing and shipping details, and email address. Payments are processed securely by our payment provider; we do not store your full payment card details on our servers.
Affiliate and External Links
Some links on this Site lead to external retailers such as Amazon and Teachers Pay Teachers, and some may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.
Children’s Privacy
This Site is intended for parents, teachers, and adult readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your Choices and Rights
You may unsubscribe from our emails, disable cookies in your browser, and opt out of personalized advertising as described above. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page, so we encourage you to review it periodically.
