Privacy Policy

Jenifer Vogt respects your privacy and is committed to being clear about how your personal information is collected and used.

This Privacy Policy explains the information I may collect when you visit jenifervogt.com, jenifervogtwrites.com, contact me, subscribe to my email list, request a consultation, submit a podcast or media inquiry, or otherwise interact with my website and online services.

This policy also explains how your information may be used, when it may be shared and the choices you have regarding your personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to jenifervogt.com and the services, forms and communications offered through that website.

Jenifer Vogt also operates jenifervogtwrites.com, a separate one-page website that provides links to Jenifer Vogt's websites, publishing platforms and social media channels. This Privacy Policy also applies to information collected directly through jenifervogtwrites.com where applicable.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of third-party websites, social media platforms, publishing platforms or other services that you may visit by following a link from either website. Those services have their own privacy policies and practices.

The information I collect depends on how you interact with my websites.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

• subscribe to my email list
• contact me
• request a complimentary consultation
• submit a podcast inquiry or story pitch
• submit a press, media, sponsorship or collaboration inquiry
• communicate with me about my work or services

Depending on the form or service, this information may include your name, email address, telephone number and information you choose to include in your message or submission.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through a general website form unless it is necessary for your request.

Email Subscription Information

If you specifically subscribe to my email list, I collect the information you provide through the subscription form, such as your name and email address.

My email subscription forms clearly identify that you are signing up to receive email communications from Jenifer Vogt. You may also be asked to confirm your subscription by email.

Submitting another type of form, such as a contact request, consultation request, podcast inquiry or media inquiry, does not automatically enroll you in my marketing email list.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit my websites, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider and technologies used to operate the sites.

This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring website, pages visited and approximate geographic information derived from your IP address.

I may also use cookies and similar technologies to operate the websites, understand how visitors use them and improve their performance.

I may use personal information to:

• respond to questions and messages
• review and respond to consultation requests
• review podcast pitches and inquiries
• respond to media, sponsorship and collaboration inquiries
• provide information or services you request
• send email communications when you have subscribed to receive them
• administer and improve my websites
• understand website traffic and usage
• maintain website security and prevent fraud or misuse
• maintain appropriate business and administrative records
• comply with legal obligations
• protect my rights and the rights of others

I do not use information submitted through a general contact, consultation, podcast or media form to send marketing emails unless you have separately chosen to subscribe to marketing communications.

I use Kit to manage website forms and my email subscriber list.

People who submit website forms may have their information stored within Kit so that I can receive, organize and respond to their submissions. Kit allows subscribers to be organized using forms and tags.

Only people who have opted in to receive marketing communications are included in my marketing audience.

My subscription process may use email confirmation to verify that you want to receive communications from me. Kit also provides tools designed to support consent and privacy requirements, including GDPR-related consent features.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent me from responding to a separate message, inquiry or business request you have initiated.

I do not sell your personal information.

I may share or allow access to personal information when reasonably necessary to operate my websites and business, including with companies that provide services such as:

• website hosting and security
• email and form management
• analytics
• scheduling
• payment processing
• e-commerce services
• professional, administrative or technical services

These companies may process information only as necessary to provide their services or according to their own applicable privacy obligations.

I may also disclose information if required by law, legal process or government request, or when reasonably necessary to protect my rights, safety, property or the rights, safety or property of others.

If the business is sold, transferred, reorganized or merged in the future, information may be transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by law.

My websites may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social media networks, publishing platforms, retailers, affiliate partners and other online services. When you leave my website and visit another website, that site's privacy policy and terms govern your activity there. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites or services.

My websites may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, analytics or other legitimate business purposes. I plan to use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to better understand how visitors find and use my websites. Information  about the specific analytics and cookie technologies used on the websites, as well as any choices available to visitors, may be provided through a cookie notice or consent mechanism where required.

My websites may contain affiliate links, sponsored content, advertisements or links to products and services offered by third parties. If you click an affiliate link or make a purchase through one, the third-party provider may collect information about your interaction or transaction according to its own privacy practices. I may receive compensation or a commission from qualifying purchases or commercial partnerships. Additional disclosures will be provided where required.

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to requests, maintaining appropriate business records, complying with legal obligations and resolving disputes. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected. Email subscriber information may be retained as necessary to maintain subscription preferences, including records showing that someone has unsubscribed.

I take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include website security tools, access controls, account authentication and security practices used by third-party service providers. However, no website, email system or method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to:

• request access to personal information held about you
• request correction of inaccurate information
• request deletion of certain personal information
• object to or restrict certain processing
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• unsubscribe from marketing communications
• request information about how your personal information is collected, used or disclosed

Some rights may be subject to exceptions or verification requirements under applicable law.
To make a privacy-related request, contact: contact@jenifervogt.com

Please include enough information for me to understand and respond to your request. I may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Kit also provides mechanisms for accessing, updating and deleting subscriber information and automatically provides unsubscribe functionality in emails sent through its service.

My business is based in the United States, and information collected through my websites may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where my service providers operate. If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland or another jurisdiction with privacy protections governing international transfers, service providers may use legally recognized safeguards for transferring personal information. For example, Kit states that it uses mechanisms including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and contractual safeguards for certain international transfers.

Residents of California and certain other U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state law. Depending on the law and whether it applies to my business, these rights may include access, correction, deletion and information regarding certain disclosures or uses of personal information. I do not sell personal information. Privacy requests may be submitted to: contact@jenifervogt.com. I will respond to valid requests as required by applicable law.

My websites and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through my websites. If I learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, I will take reasonable steps to delete it.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my websites, business practices, services, technology or legal requirements. When I make changes, I will update the Last Updated date at the top of this policy. I encourage you to review this policy periodically if you want to stay informed about how personal information is handled.
