Privacy Policy

This site is run by Jamie Lynn Watkins. This page explains what information the site collects, what I do with it, and what you can ask me to do about it.

What I collect

• When you write to me: your name, your email address and whatever you put in your message.
• When you ask for updates: your email address.
• When you book a call: booking happens on Calendly, which collects your name, email address, the time you choose and anything you add. Calendly shares that with me. Calls are held on Zoom.
• When you visit: the company hosting this site may keep standard server records, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested.
• When you allow analytics: Google Analytics records how you found the site, which pages you read, your rough location and your device type. It gives me no name or email.

What I do with it

I use it to read and answer your message, set up and hold our call, tell you when something new is up if you asked me to, keep the site working and secure, and meet any legal obligations. If anything you tell me belongs in print, I’ll ask you first.

Who else sees it

I share information only with the services that make the above possible: the company hosting this site and receiving its forms, the email service that sends my updates, Google Analytics, Calendly, Zoom, and my email and calendar providers. I may also disclose information if the law requires it. I don’t sell your information, and I don’t share it for advertising.

Cookies and tracking

This site uses Google Analytics only if you choose “Allow analytics.” After you allow it, Google Analytics sets cookies to count visits and see which pages get read, and I use those reports to make the site better. You can change your choice using “Analytics choices” in the footer. If you decline, or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or “Do Not Track” signal, Google Analytics doesn’t load. This choice applies to visitors everywhere, including the EU, UK and Switzerland. Google may collect information about your visits over time and across other websites; you can read how in Google’s privacy policy. You can also use Google’s opt-out tool or block cookies in your browser. There are no ads or advertising trackers here.

Other websites

Links on this site lead to places like Calendly, Substack, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. Once you’re there, their privacy policies and cookies apply, not this one. You can read Calendly’s privacy notice before you book.

How long I keep it

I keep messages and booking details for as long as they’re useful for our conversation, or as long as the law requires.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information I have about you, or to stop getting updates. Write to me and I’ll take care of it, unless the law requires me to keep something. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights, and you can use the same form to exercise them.

Children

This site is meant for adults. I don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you think a child has sent me information, tell me and I’ll delete it.

Security

I take reasonable care with what you send, but no website or email is perfectly secure, so please don’t send anything highly sensitive through the forms.

Visitors outside the United States

I’m in the United States, and information you send will be handled here.

Changes

If this policy changes, I’ll post the new version here and update the date at the top.
