Information we collect
Information you provide. When you subscribe to our email list, contact us, or download a printable, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect technical data when you visit — including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and access dates/times — through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we do not sell your personal information.
How we use your information
- To operate, maintain, and improve our website and content
- To send emails you request (printables, newsletters, or replies to inquiries)
- To understand how visitors use our site through analytics
- To display advertising that helps keep our content free
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and improve our content. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized usage data. Learn more at policies.google.com/privacy, or opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Advertising
We use, or may in the future use, third-party advertising companies — including Google AdSense — to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and web beacons (including the Google DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits. You may opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com).
- You may opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) and optout.networkadvertising.org (Network Advertising Initiative).
We do not control these third-party cookies.
If you join our email list, we use a third-party email service to deliver messages. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out anytime. We comply with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act.
Pinterest and social features
Our site integrates with Pinterest and other social platforms (for example, "Save" and share buttons). When you use these features, the relevant platform may collect information under its own privacy policy. Please review Pinterest's Privacy Policy at policy.pinterest.com.
Your privacy rights
California residents (CCPA/CPRA). You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. To exercise these rights, email hello@thefernedit.com.
Other U.S. states. Residents of states such as Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut may have similar rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Contact hello@thefernedit.com.
"Do Not Track." Because there is no industry standard for responding to browser "Do Not Track" signals, our site does not currently respond to them.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, email hello@thefernedit.com and we will delete it.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here and use reasonable safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Third-party links
Our content may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices — please review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
