We value your privacy and we’re committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit www.seajillread.com, how we use it, and how you can control it.

1. Information We Collect

A) Information you provide to us directly

We collect personal information that you voluntarily share with us, such as:

  • Your name and email address when you fill out a contact form or subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Any additional details you include in your message or comment.

If you make a purchase or donation through the site, payment details are handled securely by our payment processor (e.g., PayPal, Stripe) — we never see or store your credit card information.

B) Information collected automatically

When you browse our website, we (and our service providers) may collect:

  • Your IP address, browser type, device information, and referring URL.
  • Which pages you visit and how long you stay on them.

We use this information to understand how visitors use our site and to improve your experience.

C) Cookies

Our WordPress site uses cookies to:

  • Keep the site running smoothly and remember your preferences.
  • Track website traffic through tools like Google Analytics.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Please note that some features of the site may not function properly if you disable cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your messages or questions.
  • Send occasional updates, news, or newsletter emails (only if you’ve opted in).
  • Improve the performance, content, and usability of the website.
  • Protect against spam, security threats, or misuse of the site.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

3. Who We Share Information With

We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate the website. These may include:

  • WordPress.com or WordPress.org, for basic site functionality.
  • Mailchimp (or a similar email service) for newsletter delivery.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy and uses data only as needed to perform their services for us.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at hello@seajillread.com.

7. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., audio players, images, or videos).

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly — those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with that content. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies separately.
