Hey there! We know privacy policies can be a total snooze-fest, but we believe in being upfront about how we handle your information. Here’s the real talk on what we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it.
Who we are
We’re Selfhealings and we’re here to help you on your personal growth journey, and respecting your privacy is a huge part of that commitment.
What information we collect
When you xomment: If you leave a comment, we collect what you share in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser info. Why? To keep spam and trolls away from our community.
When you visit: We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our site – things like which articles are most helpful and where visitors come from. This helps us create better content for you. All this data is anonymized, so we can’t identify you personally.
Cookies (the digital kind): We use cookies to make your experience smoother. If you comment, we’ll remember your name and email for next time. If you have an account, cookies help keep you logged in. Nothing creepy – just convenience stuff that expires after a reasonable time.
What we do with your information
The short version: We use it to make your experience better and keep our community safe.
The longer version:
- Comments help build our community discussions,
- Analytics help us understand what content serves you best,
- Email addresses (if you subscribe) let us share new articles and resources,
- Everything else is just basic website functionality.
What we DON’T do with your information
We don’t sell your data. We don’t rent it out. We don’t hand it over to sketchy third parties. Your information stays with us and the essential services that help our website run (like our hosting provider and Google analytics).
Your rights (because you should know)
You’re in control of your data. Here’s what you can do:
- See your data: Request a copy of any personal information we have about you.
- Update your data: Change or correct any information in your profile.
- Delete your data: Ask us to remove your personal information (we’ll keep what’s legally required, but that’s it).
- Unsubscribe: Leave our email list anytime with one click.
How long we keep your stuff
- Comments: We keep these indefinitely to maintain conversation threads.
- Account info: As long as your account is active, plus a reasonable time after deletion.
- Analytics: This is anonymized data that helps us improve the site.
- Email subscribers: Until you unsubscribe or we close up shop.
Third-party content
Sometimes we embed videos, images, or content from other sites (like YouTube or Instagram). When you interact with this embedded stuff, those other sites might track you according to their own privacy policies. We don’t control that, but we wanted you to know.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but let’s be real – no website is 100% secure. We do our best with current technology and best practices, but we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we’ll let you know by posting the new version here with an updated date. For major changes, we might send an email or post a notice on the site.
Questions?
If you have questions about this privacy policy or want to exercise any of your rights, just reach out to us. We’re real people and we’ll get back to you.
