Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Quietly, Evelyn collects, why it is used, which services receive it, and the choices available to you.
What information I collect
Information you provide. This may include your name, email address, message, comment, subscription choice, and any other information you choose to send. Purchases are completed through Payhip. Quietly, Evelyn does not receive your full payment-card number.
Information collected automatically. Blogger and analytics services may receive your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, links clicked, and the date and time of a visit. These services may use cookies or similar technologies.
How I use your information
I use information to operate and secure the site, respond to messages and comments, deliver requested emails or digital products, understand which pages are useful, improve the site, comply with legal obligations, and prevent misuse. Email updates are sent only after you subscribe, and every marketing email should include an unsubscribe method.
Cookies and analytics
This site is hosted by Blogger and uses Google Analytics. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to operate Blogger, protect the site, measure visits, and remember choices. You can limit cookies in your browser and use Google's Analytics opt-out tool. Blocking cookies may affect some site features.
This site does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. Third-party services may collect information over time and across websites according to their own policies and your settings. Where consent is required by law, non-essential tracking should remain disabled until valid consent is received.
Affiliate links & advertising
Quietly, Evelyn contains affiliate links. If you buy through one, I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. A disclosure is placed near affiliate recommendations.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Bookshop.org may also pay a commission on qualifying purchases. Editorial opinions and book selections remain my own. Sponsored content, if accepted, will be identified clearly.
Sharing your information
I do not sell personal information for money. Information may be processed by service providers that run the site, deliver email, measure traffic, process purchases, prevent fraud, or comply with law. It may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer.
Services and outside links
The main service providers are Google for Blogger and Analytics, Substack for email subscriptions, and Payhip for digital-product checkout and delivery. Affiliate retailers receive information when you follow their links. Social platforms receive information when you visit or interact with their sites. Each service controls its own processing under its privacy policy.
Retention and security
I keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described here, to maintain records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Service providers may keep information under their own retention rules. I use reasonable safeguards, but no website, email, or payment system can promise complete security.
Children's privacy
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian may contact me to request deletion of information submitted by a child.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information, or to object to certain uses. You can unsubscribe from email at any time. Send a request using the contact information below. I may need to verify the request and will respond as required by applicable law.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy when the site, its services, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top shows the latest revision.
