Grandmother On Purpose (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit grandmotheronpurpose.com, sign up for our emails, or buy from us, and how we use it. The short version: we collect only what we need to run the site and send you what you asked for, we keep it safe, and we never sell it.
Information you give us
- Email sign-ups: When you sign up for a free printable or our emails, we collect your first name (if you share it) and your email address.
- Purchases: When you buy something, we collect your name, email address, and billing details needed to complete the order. Payments are handled by a secure third-party payment processor. We never see or store your full card number.
- Comments and messages: If you leave a comment or email us, we collect your name, email address, and whatever you choose to write.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, ours automatically collects some basic information when you visit, such as your browser type, device, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and your IP address. This helps us keep the site secure, fix problems, and understand which posts are most helpful.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use them to:
- Keep the site running and secure, including protection against spam and attacks
- Remember what’s in your shopping cart and complete checkout
- Understand how visitors use the site, through analytics tools such as Google Analytics
- Track purchases made through affiliate links, so we can earn a small commission at no extra cost to you
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site, like checkout, may not work properly without them.
How we use your information
- To send you the freebies, emails, and downloads you signed up for
- To process and deliver your orders and answer questions about them
- To reply to your messages and comments
- To improve the site and decide what to write and make next
- To keep the site safe and prevent fraud
- To meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements
Who we share it with
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with trusted services that help us run Grandmother On Purpose, and only as much as they need to do their job:
- Website hosting and security: Bluehost hosts our site, and Cloudflare helps it load quickly and stay secure.
- Email: MailerLite stores our subscriber list and sends our emails.
- Payments: Our payment processor handles card and payment details securely when you buy.
- Analytics: Tools such as Google Analytics help us see how the site is used. This information is grouped and doesn’t identify you by name.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our site, our readers, or others.
Our emails
When you sign up, you’ll receive the freebie you asked for plus occasional emails with ideas, new posts, and products. Every email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and you can leave anytime. Once you unsubscribe, we won’t email you again unless you sign up again.
Comments
If you leave a comment, your name and comment are shown publicly. Your email address is never published. Comments may be checked by an automated spam-detection service.
Links to other websites
Our posts sometimes link to other websites, including affiliate partners and shops. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for how they handle your information.
Children’s privacy
Grandmother On Purpose is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Many of our activities are made for grandkids, but sign-ups and purchases should be made by an adult. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we’ll delete it.
How long we keep information
We keep your email address for as long as you’re subscribed. We keep order records for as long as needed for tax and accounting purposes. Comments stay on the site unless you ask us to remove them.
Keeping your information safe
We use secure, reputable services and encrypted connections (look for the padlock in your browser) to protect your information. No website can promise perfect security, but we take reasonable steps to keep your information safe.
Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any email. You can also ask us to tell you what personal information we have about you, correct it, or delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under your state’s or country’s laws. To make a request, email us and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site grows or the tools we use change. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
