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.
By providing your phone number and checking the SMS consent box on any form on this site, you expressly consent to receive text messages from Nikki Matlock / thenikkimatlock.com. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase. You may opt in to receive SMS messages related to:
Message frequency varies. You may receive up to 5 messages per month depending on your interactions and the services you use. Recurring messages may be sent.
You can opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any text message you receive. After opting out, you will receive one final confirmation message and no further texts will be sent. You can also opt out by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Unsubscribe SMS."
For help with SMS, reply HELP to any message or email [email protected].
Message and data rates may apply. Check with your mobile carrier for details about your text messaging plan.
We will not share, sell, or rent your phone number or SMS opt-in data with any third parties for marketing purposes. Your phone number and SMS consent information will only be used to send you the messages you have opted into. SMS opt-in data will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing use.
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to effective transmission by your mobile carrier.
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 take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Data is transmitted using industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS). Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel only. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, I make every reasonable effort to protect your information.
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.
