Welcome to Ripe Reflections. Your privacy matters to me. This policy explains what information I collect and how I use it. By visiting this site, you agree to the terms outlined below.
1. What I Collect
- Email Addresses: If you subscribe to my newsletter via the Beehiiv form, I collect your email address. Subscribing is completely optional.
- Usage Data: Like most websites, I use tools that automatically collect anonymous data about your visit—such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited.
2. How I Use Your Info
- To send occasional emails if you’ve subscribed to my newsletter.
- To improve the blog by understanding how readers engage with the content.
- I will never sell or share your information with third parties.
3. Cookies & Tracking
This site uses cookies and similar technologies to help me understand traffic and improve performance. These include:
- Google Analytics: Tracks anonymous usage data.
- Spotify Embed: May set cookies when you play embedded playlists.
- Beehiiv: May use cookies when you interact with the newsletter sign-up.
You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
4. Third-Party Services
I use a few trusted services to run this blog smoothly:
- Beehiiv – for managing email subscriptions (view their policy)
- Google Analytics – for anonymous analytics (Google’s privacy policy)
- Spotify – for embedded playlists (Spotify’s policy)
These platforms have their own privacy practices, which I don’t control.
5. Your Rights
- You can unsubscribe from my emails at any time.
- You can contact me to have your email address removed from my records.
- Depending on where you live, you may have additional data rights (like under GDPR or CCPA).
6. Children’s Privacy
Ripe Reflections is not directed toward children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
7. Changes to This Policy
I may update this page occasionally to reflect new tools or legal updates. I recommend checking back now and then if you’re curious.
