Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 26, 2026

This website, cathyclements.com, is operated by Cathy Clements LLC ("I," "me," or "my"). I take your privacy seriously, and I want to explain in plain English what information this site collects, how I use it, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, email me at [email protected] and I will give you a straight answer.

Information I Collect

Information you give me directly:

• Your first name and email address, when you request the free guide or subscribe through any form on this site.

• Your name, email address, and message, when you use the contact form or reply to one of my emails.

• Any information you choose to share with me in those messages.

Information collected automatically:

• Basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and how you found the site, collected through cookies and similar technologies.

• Email engagement data, such as whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. I use this to send you content that fits where you are, and to avoid sending you things that do not.

How I Use Your Information

• To deliver the free guide you requested.

• To send you my email series and my weekly newsletter, which you can leave at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email.

• To respond when you contact me.

• To group subscribers by interest and background so the emails you receive actually fit your situation.

• To understand how the site is used and improve it.

• To comply with legal obligations.

I do not sell your personal information. Ever.

Who I Share Information With

I use trusted service providers to run this site and send email — including the platform that hosts this website and manages my email list. These providers process your information on my behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. Beyond that, I only share personal information if the law requires it, or to protect my legal rights.

Affiliate Links and Third-Party Websites

Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. When you click a link that takes you to another website, that website’s own privacy policy applies, not this one. I encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Cookies

This site uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences, and understand site traffic. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through your settings. The site will still work if you do, though some features may be limited.

How Long I Keep Your Information

I keep your information for as long as you are subscribed or as needed for the purposes above. If you unsubscribe, your email address is retained on a suppression list so I do not accidentally email you again. You can request full deletion at any time by emailing me.

Your Rights and Choices

• Unsubscribe: every email I send includes an unsubscribe link. One click and you are out, no questions and no guilt trip.

• Access, correction, and deletion: you can ask me what personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email [email protected].

• Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I honor reasonable requests from anyone, regardless of location.

Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, contact me and I will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

If I update this policy, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Meaningful changes will also be mentioned in my newsletter.
