Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Your privacy matters here. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit itsnotyouitsthem.com, how it's used, and what choices you have. The short version: I collect only what's necessary to run this site and communicate with you, I don't sell your data, and I try to be straightforward about all of it.

Who runs this site

This website is operated by Jen, the sole owner and creator of It's Not You, It's Them (itsnotyouitsthem.com). You can reach me at contact@itsnotyouitsthem.com with any privacy-related questions.

What information is collected

Information you give directly

Email address. If you sign up for the email list or download a free resource, I collect your email address. I use this to send you the content you requested and occasional emails about new posts and resources. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Name. Some forms ask for your first name so I can address you personally in emails. Providing it is optional.

Contact form submissions. If you reach out via the contact form, I receive your name, email address, and message. I use this only to respond to you.

Purchase information. Digital products are sold through Payhip. When you make a purchase, Payhip processes your payment and personal information. I receive your email address and order details to fulfill your purchase, but I do not store your payment card information. Please review Payhip's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle payment data.

Information collected automatically

Analytics. This site uses analytics software to understand how visitors find and use it — things like which pages are visited, how long people stay, and what device or browser they're using. This data is aggregated and anonymous; it doesn't identify you personally. If you'd like to opt out of analytics tracking, most browsers support this through privacy or ad-blocking extensions.

Cookies. Like most websites, this site uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser. Cookies help the site function correctly (for example, remembering your preferences) and support analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not work as intended if you do.

How your information is used

Your information is used to:

  • Deliver free resources and digital purchases you've requested
  • Send emails you've opted in to receive
  • Respond to messages you send via the contact form
  • Understand how people use the site so I can improve it
  • Comply with legal obligations if required

Your information is never sold to third parties. It is not shared with advertisers. It is not used to build profiles for targeted advertising.

Third-party services

Running this site involves a few trusted third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy, and I encourage you to review them:

  • Email marketing platform (e.g. MailerLite or Kit) — stores your email address and name for the purpose of sending you emails you've opted into. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Payhip — processes payments for digital products. See Payhip's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Fonts — this site loads fonts from Google's servers, which may log your IP address. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Analytics provider — used to understand site traffic. Data is anonymized and aggregated.

Data storage and security

Your data is stored on the servers of the third-party services listed above, which are located primarily in the United States and/or the European Union. I take reasonable steps to ensure these services maintain appropriate security standards, but no method of internet transmission is 100% secure.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data — including the right to access, correct, or delete it. To exercise any of these rights, email me at contact@itsnotyouitsthem.com and I'll respond as quickly as I can.

To unsubscribe from emails, use the unsubscribe link in any email I've sent you. You'll be removed from the list immediately.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to this site, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
