Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://coachmichelepeterson.com

Michele is a WFH Success Coach, Direct Response UX/SEO Copywriter specializing in email and content marketing, and also runs a for-fun side hustle as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant.  When she’s not working, she enjoys reading, gardening, drinking wine, practicing yoga, swimming, quilting, painting, and trying new recipes. She lives in Fresno, California with her husband and two rescue dogs.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

We also use cookies to help understand how you interact with the site. This includes services like:

  • Google Analytics – to analyze website traffic and improve the user experience.
  • Google AdSense – to display relevant advertising content.
  • Jetpack – to track visitor stats and site performance.

These services may use cookies to collect data such as your IP address, device type, browser, and browsing activity.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content.

Who we share your data with

We do not actively share your personal data with any other company. However, some data is collected and processed by trusted third-party tools we use, such as:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google AdSense
  • Jetpack
  • Our email service provider (for newsletter subscriptions)

These tools have their own privacy policies and comply with applicable data protection laws.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you are subscribed to our newsletter, your email address and preferences are stored securely until you unsubscribe.

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments or subscribed to our newsletter, you can request to receive a file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make such a request, contact: admin@coachmichelepeterson.com

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Newsletter signups and analytics data are processed through the tools listed above.
