Who I Am
I strive to keep my site as simple, welcoming, and transparent as possible. This is a personal blog built to share inspiration, ideas, and resources for readers and creatives alike. I do not use intrusive ads or unnecessary tracking tools — my goal is for your time here to feel calm, safe, and enjoyable.
Comments & Community Interactions
When visitors leave comments, I collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser information to help detect spam.
Approved comments, along with the name or display photo you choose to share, may be visible to other visitors. Please avoid sharing any sensitive or private details in public comment sections.
Media
If you upload or submit images to this site, please avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site could download and extract this information from images displayed publicly.
Cookies & Analytics
This site uses basic cookies to improve your browsing experience — for example, remembering your preferences or login details. I may also use anonymous analytics to understand which posts or topics readers enjoy most.
You can disable or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling them may affect how certain features appear but will not restrict access to the site.
Email Lists & Updates
If you choose to subscribe to my newsletter or sign up for updates, I will only use your email address to send the content you’ve requested. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of each email.
Your email information is stored securely and will never be sold, shared, or used for any unrelated purpose.
Affiliate Links & Sponsored Content
Some posts on this site may include affiliate links — including through programs such as Amazon Associates, Etsy, or other trusted networks.
If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support the time and resources that go into creating free content for you.
I only recommend items I genuinely love, personally use, or believe my readers will enjoy.
Data Retention & Your Rights
Comments and related metadata are stored indefinitely to help recognize and approve future comments automatically.
If you have left a comment or subscribed to updates, you may request a copy of any data I hold about you or ask that it be deleted where legally required.
To make such a request, please contact me directly through the site’s contact form or by emailing privacy@emberandepilogue.com.
Data Sharing
Visitor information may be processed through automated services such as spam detection or anonymous analytics tools. I do not sell, trade, or rent any personal data collected through this website.
Embedded Content & External Links
Some posts may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited that external site directly, which may collect data or use cookies of its own. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit through embedded links.
Children’s Privacy
This site and its content are intended for adult readers. I do not knowingly collect or store personal data from individuals under the age of 13.
Policy Updates
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect new features, services, or legal requirements. Updates will always be noted with a revised “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
