My Privacy Promise

Last updated March 5th, 2024 by Naomi J. Andrews

 

Just like you, I value my privacy and I'm committed to protecting yours. So, let's cut through the jargon and talk about what happens with your info when you hang out here.

​

The Basics

Contact me anytime: If you've got questions or just want to chat about privacy (or anything else, really), drop me a line at naomi@naomijandrews.com.

​

What I collect and why

• Just Browsing? I use a bit of tracking magic (nothing creepy, I promise!) to see how my site’s being used. This helps me make naomijandrews.com even better for you and others. It’s all about improving, never about snooping.

​

• Saying Hi or Signing Up? If you drop me an email or sign up for anything, I’ll have your email address and maybe your name and number. But that’s just so we can chat (consensually) or I can send you the stuff you asked for.

​

I Don't Know What You Did Last Summer

(but I may know your name)

When you visit my site, it's like leaving footprints in the digital sand. I might see where you came from, what pages you checked out, and when you waved goodbye, but I won't necessarily know it's you specifically. "But wait," you may be thinking, "what do you mean by necessarily?”

Wix allows me to know who fills out a form and who buys stuff from my site. They also have marketing features that may identify returning customers, but as a one-woman show, I have too many things on my plate to obsess over who is visiting my site. I am however all about improving your experience without getting all up in your business. So if you share your contact information with me, I'll only use it to contact you about my services or respond to any requests you send me.

 

You may notice some of my forms do require you to share your phone number but listen, I am a typical millennial who hates talking on the phone unless absolutely necessary. If you misspell your email address and I can't find another way to get back to you, I will likely reach out by phone. But don't worry, I will try to text you first and let you know my number so you can screen my calls if you want to. 

​

Here's the deal with Cookies

Cookies are like tiny memory aids for websites. They help my site remember if you've visited before, so we can load it faster and show you stuff you might like. This is especially helpful for large graphics or videos. But hey, if cookies aren't your thing, you can tell your browser to keep them at bay. All you have to do is a simple web search for how to turn off cookies on (insert browser name) browser.  Those of you using Google Chrome may find this information helpful.

​

Your choices

You're in control here. If you don't want me to know which pages you've danced through, you can sneak around incognito by changing your browser settings.

​

Sharing? Only when necessary

I'm not in the business of selling your info to ad companies or making a quick buck off your data. However there is always the possibility that the typical offenders are able to access information without my knowledge because of the way the internet works these days (hey I'm a designer, not a programmer).

 

All I can promise you is that I will never intentionally violate your privacy. The only time I'll knowingly hand over your data is if the law knocks on my digital (or heaven forbid literal) door asking for it. And even then I would make sure to seek legal counsel before sharing information–I won’t give up information unless there is no other way around it. And I'll definitely fight with all I have if someone is trying to use that information to make you submit to the will of right wing extremists. These lips are sealed.

​

Kids and Privacy

My website is aimed at adults doing adulty things like running for office and making climate deniers cry. If you're under 18 and checking out my site, that's cool, but please don't share any personal info with me. It's not that I don't like you, it's that the internet can be a wild place, and I want to make sure you stay safe.

​

This only covers my site

This privacy spiel only covers what happens on naomijandrews.com. If you click a link that takes you elsewhere, their privacy policy will take the wheel and even Jesus will have a hard time taking back the wheel once Zuckerberg or Bezos has it. 

​

Uh-Oh, Hackers!

In the digital world, I'm like a (really out-of-shape) MMA fighter protecting your info, but sometimes bad guys slip through the cracks. Here's the deal:

​

• Fast Action If something fishy happens and someone unauthorized gets a peek at your data, I'll jump into action faster than you can say "hacker."

​

• Keeping You in the Loop I believe in transparency. So, if your data's at risk, you'll hear from me with the what, when, how, and what we can do about it.

​

• Working Together Protecting your data is a team sport. I'll do my part, but I'll also guide you on any steps you might need to take to stay safe.

​

Remember, while I'm all about building fortresses around your data, staying vigilant is key. If you notice anything odd or have concerns, shoot me an email at naomi@naomijandrews.com. Let's keep the digital playground safe, together.

​

If you stay, you agree

By hanging out on my site you’re consenting that we're on the same page about privacy. If I tweak anything I'll update it here but it is unlikely I'll remember to send it out. I have ADHD afterall and America is the wild west of digital privacy. That being said, people who live in California have some extra protections thanks to the adults in their state legislature.

​

Your digital rights – California style

For my friends in California (but honestly I'd do the same for anyone else if you asked me to), you’ve got some extra rights when it comes to your personal info:

​

• Know What’s What You can ask me what personal info I have about you, where it came from, and what I’m doing with it.

​

• Say No to the Show Don’t want your info sold? No problem. I don’t sell your info anyway, because that’s just not cool.

​

• Take It Back You can ask me to delete your personal info if you don’t want me hanging onto it anymore.

​

• No Getting Mad I promise not to get all huffy if you exercise your rights. We’re all friends here.

​

Got questions?

If anything here made you go "hmm" or if you just want to learn more about how I protect your privacy, shoot me an email at naomi@naomijandrews.com. Thanks for visiting, and let's make some positive change together!
