2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as certain information collected automatically when you use our website.

Payment card information is generally processed directly by third-party payment processors. We may receive information about the transaction but do not generally receive or store your complete payment card number.

Please avoid providing sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the reason you are contacting us. If you voluntarily provide sensitive information, we will use it only as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided and as permitted by applicable law.

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location, dates and times of visits, and information about how you interact with the website.

We may collect this information through cookies, analytics tools, pixels, and similar technologies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

  • Provide and operate our website, products, programs, events, and services

  • Respond to questions, requests, or communications

  • Process purchases and registrations

  • Deliver books, downloads, resources, or other materials you request

Where applicable privacy laws require a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and/or legitimate business interests, as appropriate.

4. Email Marketing and Subscriptions

When you subscribe to our email list, request a free resource through an opt-in form, or otherwise agree to receive emails from us, we may send you communications related to our books, articles, resources, programs, events, meditations, personal insights, announcements, and occasional promotional offers.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email you receive from us.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent us from sending transactional or administrative communications that may be necessary in connection with a purchase, registration, account, or other request you have made.

Where applicable law requires consent before we send marketing communications, we will rely on your consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time.

We do not provide your email address to unrelated third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember preferences, understand website traffic and visitor behavior, measure the effectiveness of content or advertising, and improve the visitor experience.

We may also use analytics and advertising technologies provided by third parties. These providers may collect information about your interaction with our website in accordance with their own privacy practices.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your location, you may also be provided with additional cookie or consent controls when visiting the website.

Some browsers and devices provide privacy preference signals, including “Do Not Track” or similar mechanisms. Our website may not respond to every such signal. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular privacy preference or opt-out signal, we will endeavor to comply with that requirement.

Third-party services used on our website may also collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, subject to their own privacy practices and your available privacy choices.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

We use third-party companies and platforms to help operate our website and business.

These may include website hosting and commerce platforms such as Squarespace, email marketing services such as Flodesk, digital delivery services such as BookFunnel, payment processors, scheduling or event platforms, analytics providers such as Google, advertising and social media platforms such as Meta, and other technology providers that help us deliver our products and services.

These providers may process personal information as necessary to provide their services to us and are subject to their own privacy and security practices.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to professional advisers such as accountants, attorneys, insurers, or other professional service providers, or when disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a governmental authority.

If our business or substantially all of its assets are sold, transferred, merged, or reorganized, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to websites, platforms, applications, products, or services operated by third parties.

We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices. When you leave our website or interact with a third-party service, we encourage you to review that provider’s privacy policy.

8. International Visitors and Data Transfers

Our business is based in the United States. If you access our website from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy and data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used in connection with international transfers of personal information.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or loss.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or method of storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Access to personal information is limited to those who reasonably need the information to operate our business or provide services on our behalf.

If we become aware of a data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will provide the required notifications.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing products or services, maintaining appropriate business and transaction records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying applicable legal, accounting, reporting, and tax requirements.

Different types of information may be subject to different retention periods.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, securely dispose of, or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you

12. European Economic Area and United Kingdom

If the General Data Protection Regulation, UK GDPR, or related data protection laws apply to our processing of your personal information, you may have additional rights.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, data portability, and withdrawal of consent.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority responsible for your location.

Questions or requests relating to these rights may be submitted through the Contact page on ShannonMacDonald.net.

13. California Privacy
