Privacy Policy

Last updated: [Month Day, Year]

Template — replace all bracketed placeholders [like this] before publishing. Have a legal professional review this before launch, particularly if you expect meaningful EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA) traffic.

1. Introduction

iWriteTech ("iWriteTech," "we," "us," or "our") operates [iwritetech.com] (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

  • Newsletter signup: if you subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your email address.
  • Contact form: if you reach out through our contact page, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we (and our third-party service providers) automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including:

  • IP address and approximate location (city/region level)
  • Browser type and version, device type, and operating system
  • Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URL, and click activity
  • Date and time of visits

Information from third parties

If you arrive at iWriteTech via Pinterest, Google, or another platform, that platform may share limited referral data with our analytics tools (e.g., which page you landed on).

3. How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to:

  • Understand how visitors use the Site (via Google Analytics)
  • Remember your display preferences (e.g., light/dark theme)
  • Measure the performance of content and, where applicable, affiliate links

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect some Site functionality (such as theme preference being remembered).

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Understand which content resonates with readers, via aggregated, anonymized analytics
  • Respond to messages sent through our contact form
  • Send newsletter content, if and when you've subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email)
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data:

ServicePurposePrivacy Policy
Google AnalyticsSite traffic and usage analyticspolicies.google.com/privacy
Google Search ConsoleSearch performance monitoringpolicies.google.com/privacy
NetlifyWebsite hostingnetlify.com/privacy
Amazon AssociatesAffiliate program / product linksamazon.com/privacy
[Email service provider, once selected]Newsletter delivery[add link]

When you click an affiliate link on iWriteTech and are taken to a retailer's site (such as Amazon), that retailer's own privacy policy governs any data they collect from that point forward — we don't have visibility into or control over what happens on their site.

6. Affiliate Links & Cookies

iWriteTech participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click certain product links on this Site, a cookie may be placed by the retailer to track that the referral came from iWriteTech, so we can earn a commission on qualifying purchases. This does not affect the price you pay. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you're located, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your information
  • Opt out of non-essential cookies and marketing emails
  • Object to or restrict certain processing (where applicable under GDPR)
  • Data portability (where applicable under GDPR)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [privacy@iwritetech.com]. We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

California residents: you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to opt out of its sale (note: we do not sell personal information).

EU/UK residents: our legal basis for processing your data is typically legitimate interest (site analytics, security) or consent (newsletter signups, non-essential cookies).

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe.

9. Children's Privacy

iWriteTech is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

11. International Visitors

iWriteTech is accessed globally. If you're visiting from outside [your primary country of operation], your information may be processed in [country], which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
