Mending Meredith respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit Mending Meredith, how that information is used, and the choices you have regarding your information.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Mending Meredith website. It does not govern the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that may be linked from the website.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, you can contact us at hello@mendingmeredith.com.

1. Information We Collect

The information collected through Mending Meredith depends on how you interact with the website.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

• Subscribe to the Mending Meredith newsletter;
• Submit a message through the contact form;
• Communicate with Mending Meredith by email; or
• Otherwise voluntarily provide information through the website.

This information may include your name, email address, subject line, message, newsletter subscription preferences, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit sensitive personal, financial, medical, or other confidential information through the website’s contact forms.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit Mending Meredith, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider, security tools, cookies, or other services used to operate the site.

Depending on the services active on the website, this may include:

• IP address;
• Browser and device type;
• Operating system;
• Referring website;
• Pages viewed;
• Date and time of access;
• General website interaction information; and
• Cookie or similar technology identifiers.

Some of this information may not identify you personally on its own.

2. How We Use Information

Information collected through Mending Meredith may be used to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the website;
• Respond to messages and inquiries;
• Send newsletters and other communications you have chosen to receive;
• Understand how visitors use the website;
• Maintain website security and prevent spam, fraud, or misuse;
• Troubleshoot technical issues;
• Comply with applicable legal obligations; and
• Protect the rights, security, and integrity of Mending Meredith and its visitors.

We do not use personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described at the time it was collected without obtaining additional consent where required.

3. Newsletter and Email Communications

Mending Meredith uses MailerLite to manage newsletter subscriptions and email communications.

If you subscribe to the newsletter, information you provide through the signup form, such as your email address, may be processed and stored by MailerLite on our behalf for the purpose of managing subscriptions and delivering emails.

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

You may also contact hello@mendingmeredith.com regarding your subscription or personal information.

We do not add visitors to the newsletter simply because they submit a contact form. Newsletter signup is voluntary.

Because Mending Meredith operates in Canada, email marketing practices are intended to respect Canada’s anti-spam requirements, including consent and unsubscribe requirements. Canadian guidance states that commercial electronic messages generally require consent and must provide an unsubscribe mechanism. ISED Canada

4. Contact Forms

When you use the contact form, Mending Meredith may collect the information you enter, including your name, email address, subject line, and message.

This information is used primarily to receive, review, and respond to your communication.

The website may also use anti-spam, security, hosting, or email-delivery services that process limited information as necessary to transmit the form or protect the website from abuse.

Submitting a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Mending Meredith may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, support security features, or enable third-party functionality.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your device or browser.

Depending on the tools currently active on Mending Meredith, cookies may include:

Essential cookies, which help the website function properly and support features such as security or cookie preferences.

Analytics cookies, which may help us understand how visitors find and use the website.

Functional cookies, which may remember certain preferences or support features provided by the website.

Marketing or advertising cookies, which may be used in the future if Mending Meredith uses advertising, affiliate measurement, or similar technologies.

Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will be used in accordance with the choices available through the website’s cookie consent tools.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

For additional information about cookies used on Mending Meredith and the choices available to you, please review our Cookie Policy.

6. Analytics

Mending Meredith may use privacy-conscious analytics or similar website measurement tools to understand general traffic and how visitors interact with the website.

Depending on the analytics service used, information such as page views, approximate geographic region, referring source, device type, browser type, and interactions with the website may be processed.

If analytics tools that use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies are implemented, they will be addressed through our cookie practices where required.

Do not put Google Analytics 4 here unless you confirm that you actually have GA4 installed.

If you later install GA4, we can update this section specifically to identify Google and describe how the implementation is configured.

7. Affiliate Links

Mending Meredith may use affiliate links.

When you click an affiliate link, the third-party retailer, affiliate network, or service provider may use cookies or similar technologies to determine whether a purchase or other qualifying action resulted from the referral.

Information collected after you follow an affiliate link is generally governed by the privacy policy of the applicable third party.

Mending Meredith may receive a commission or other compensation from qualifying transactions at no additional cost to you.

For more information about affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and editorial disclosures, please review our Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure.

8. Third-Party Services

Mending Meredith relies on third-party service providers to operate certain parts of the website.

These may include providers that assist with:

• Website hosting;
• Email newsletters;
• Contact forms and email delivery;
• Website security and spam prevention;
• Cookie consent management;
• Analytics;
• Affiliate tracking; and
• Other website functionality.

These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services.

At present, services used by Mending Meredith include MailerLite for newsletter and email-list management.

Other WordPress plugins and hosting infrastructure may process technical information necessary to operate and secure the website.

We do not authorize service providers to use personal information supplied to us for unrelated purposes except as permitted by their applicable agreements, policies, or law.

9. External Links and Third-Party Websites

Mending Meredith contains links to websites and services operated by third parties.

If you click a third-party link, you will leave Mending Meredith and may become subject to that third party’s privacy practices.

Mending Meredith does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service you use.

10. Embedded Content and Social Media

Mending Meredith may include embedded content or links from social media platforms and other third-party services.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Depending on the provider and your settings, that third party may collect information about your interaction with its content or use cookies and similar technologies.

The privacy practices of those services are governed by their own policies.

11. How We Share Information

Mending Meredith does not sell your personal information.

Personal information may be disclosed in limited circumstances, including:

• To service providers that help operate the website or provide services requested by you;
• Where necessary to respond to your request or communication;
• Where required by applicable law, legal process, or government authority;
• Where reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or property of Mending Meredith or others;
• In connection with a future sale, transfer, reorganization, or other change involving the website or business; or
• With your consent.

We aim to limit disclosure to what is reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

12. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate records, or to comply with applicable legal requirements.

For example:

• Newsletter information may be retained while you remain subscribed and as reasonably necessary afterward to maintain unsubscribe records;
• Contact-form correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the communication or maintain appropriate records; and
• Technical or security logs may be retained according to the practices of the website’s hosting, security, and other service providers.

We intentionally do not promise arbitrary periods such as “90 days” or “3 years” unless those periods reflect our actual systems and practices.

13. Data Security

We take reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the website and information involved to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, you should avoid submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through Mending Meredith.

14. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the ability to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you;
• Request access to that information;
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Request deletion of certain personal information where applicable; and
• Raise a concern about how your information has been handled.

Requests can be sent to hello@mendingmeredith.com.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests and may retain information where permitted or required by law.

Canadian privacy guidance emphasizes meaningful consent and provides that individuals can generally withdraw consent, subject to applicable legal or contractual restrictions. Office of the Privacy Commissioner

15. International Visitors and Service Providers

Mending Meredith is operated from Canada but may be accessed by visitors from other countries.

Some service providers used by the website may process or store information outside Canada. As a result, information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed.

Where applicable privacy laws provide additional rights, Mending Meredith will address valid requests in accordance with those laws.

16. Children’s Privacy

Mending Meredith is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.
