Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Email subscriptions
If you sign up for the free guided release, we collect your email address so we can send you the release and occasional practical emails about emotional releasing. Subscriptions are processed by Brevo, our email service provider. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
This website uses Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand website traffic and usage. It also uses Microsoft Clarity to understand visitor interactions through session recordings, heatmaps, scroll depth, and click information. These services may process technical information such as browser, device, pages visited, and approximate location derived from an IP address. Email subscriptions submitted through the free guided release page are processed by Brevo. Scheduling links for Emotional Coaching are provided through Cal.com. These services process information according to their own privacy policies.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
