Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Postle Effect ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit thepostleeffect.com and any pages we host (the "Site").

We keep things minimal and only collect what we need to operate the Site, understand usage, and respond when you contact us.

This policy covers information collected via the Site, including embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos) and any simple forms we host (such as contact email links or future newsletter sign‑ups). It does not cover third‑party platforms you access through links (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, X), which have their own policies.

• Usage data: IP address (often truncated), browser type/version, device type, pages visited, referring/exit pages, and timestamps. This may be processed by our hosting provider and a privacy‑focused analytics provider to help us understand traffic and performance.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use essential cookies to make the Site work (e.g., remembering minimal preferences). Analytics cookies may be used if we enable them. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
• Contact information you provide: If you email us or submit a form (e.g., for a future newsletter), we collect the information you submit (such as your email address and message).
• Embedded media: When you click to view embedded videos (e.g., YouTube), the player may set its own cookies or collect data per that provider’s policy.

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
• To measure and understand traffic and feature usage.
• To communicate with you if you contact us or opt in to hear from us.
• To protect the security and integrity of the Site and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell or "share" your personal information as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). We may disclose limited data to:

• Service providers (hosting, analytics, error logging) who process data on our behalf under contracts that require them to protect it.
• Legal or safety purposes, if required by law or to protect our rights and users.
• Business transfers, in the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale involving the Site.

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or as required by law. If you contact us, we may retain your messages for reference and record‑keeping.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Cookies: Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. The Site should remain usable with essential features.
• Communications: If you opt in to any mailing list in the future, you can unsubscribe using the link in those emails or by contacting us.

EU/EEA/UK (GDPR): Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases include legitimate interests (running and improving the Site), consent (for optional cookies or emails), and compliance with legal obligations. You may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object or request portability.

California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising. You can exercise rights by contacting us.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

We are based in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. and other countries that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice on the Site.

If you have questions or wish to exercise a privacy right, contact us at hello@thepostleeffect.com.
