The short version: I respect your privacy, I don't sell your data, and I only collect what I actually need to make this site and my content work for you.

1. Who This Is
This Privacy Policy applies to mariahalthoff.com, owned and operated by Althoff Design, LLC. If you have questions, reach me at hello@mariahalthoff.com.

2. What Information I Collect
Information you give me directly:

Your name and email address when you sign up for my newsletter or download a freebie
Purchase information (name, email, billing details) when you buy a digital product or course
Any information you include when you contact me directly

Information collected automatically:

Basic analytics data like pages visited, time on site, and general location (country/region) — used to understand what content is helpful
Device and browser type
Cookies (more on that below)

I do not collect: sensitive personal data like Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or health information.

3. How I Use Your Information
I use your information to:

Send you my newsletter and any content you signed up for
Deliver digital products or courses you purchased
Respond to your questions or inquiries
Improve the site and understand what's resonating with my audience
Comply with legal obligations

I will never sell your personal information. Ever.

4. Email Marketing
If you subscribe to my newsletter, your email is stored and managed through Flodesk. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email — no hard feelings, I promise.
I send emails about my content, free resources, digital products, and occasional brand partner recommendations. When I'm promoting a sponsored product, I'll say so.

5. Cookies
This site uses cookies — small files stored on your device that help the site function and help me understand how people are using it.
Types of cookies used:

Essential cookies: Required for the site to work (like keeping you logged in to a course)
Analytics cookies: Help me see how visitors use the site (via tools like Google Analytics)
Marketing cookies: May be placed by third-party tools I use (like social media pixels)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

6. Third-Party Services
I use a few trusted third-party tools to run my business. Each has its own privacy policy:

Flodesk (email marketing) — flodesk.com/privacy
Google Analytics (site analytics) — policies.google.com/privacy
Payment processors (for digital product purchases) — your payment info is handled directly by them, not stored by me

If I use additional tools that handle your data, I'll update this list.

7. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content
Some links on this site are affiliate links. Clicking them doesn't share your personal information with me — it just lets the retailer know I referred you. Sponsored content is always disclosed.

8. Data Retention
I keep your information as long as you're subscribed to my list or have an active account. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, I'll remove your data within a reasonable timeframe unless I'm required to keep it for legal reasons.

9. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data I hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Opt out of marketing emails (unsubscribe anytime)
Request that I stop processing your data

To exercise any of these rights, email me at hello@mariahalthoff.com and I'll respond within 30 days.

10. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to me, please reach out and I'll delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy
I may update this policy from time to time. I'll update the date at the top when I do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

12. Contact
Questions about this policy or your data? I'm a real person who actually reads emails.
