This privacy policy explains how thenikkimatlock.com collects and uses information when you visit the site or interact with its content. The short version: I collect minimal data, I don't sell it, and I use it only to run this site and improve it over time.
If you fill out a contact form, sign up for an email list, or purchase a digital product, I collect the information you provide — typically your name and email address, and sometimes additional details needed to complete a transaction (like a billing address if required by my payment processor).
When you visit the site, basic technical data is collected automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time on site. This happens through standard analytics tools and server logs. I use this to understand how people use the site, not to track you personally.
This site uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser. They're used for site functionality, analytics, and, if you make a purchase, to complete your transaction. Third-party services embedded on this site may also set their own cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not work as expected if you do.
If you join an email list on this site, your email address is stored by my email marketing provider. I send emails about content, products, and resources relevant to the topic you signed up for. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it removes you immediately. I do not share email lists with third parties.
When you purchase a digital product, your transaction is processed by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe). I receive confirmation of the purchase and your contact information needed to deliver the product, but I do not store your full payment details. Those are handled securely by the payment processor.
This site contains affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. Some affiliate programs use cookies to track referrals, which means a cookie may be placed on your device when you click an affiliate link. I only recommend products I actually use. See the full affiliate disclosure for details.
This site is built on and integrated with several third-party platforms, each with their own privacy practices:
I keep data only as long as necessary. Email subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Purchase records are retained as required for accounting and legal compliance. Analytics data is typically retained for 12–24 months.
You have the right to request access to the personal data I hold about you, request corrections, or ask for it to be deleted. To make any of these requests, email me at [email protected]. I'll respond within 30 days.
This site is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to this site, please contact me and I will delete it.
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, I'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
