Dear Beautiful Soul uses Kit for newsletter and email-marketing services.

When you subscribe, information such as your name, email address, subscription preferences, and email engagement information may be processed by Kit on our behalf.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in our emails.

Kit states that it processes subscriber data on behalf of creators and requires creators to maintain appropriate privacy notices and consent or opt-out mechanisms where required by law.

Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not necessarily prevent us from sending transactional or administrative messages relating to a purchase, account, registration, or existing service.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics technologies, and similar tools to:

  • operate the website;
  • remember preferences;
  • maintain website security;
  • understand site usage and performance;
  • process purchases or forms;
  • measure communications or marketing activity.

Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function. Other analytics or marketing technologies may be optional depending on your location and applicable law.

Where required, we will request consent before placing non-essential cookies.

You may also control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Service providers and third parties

We may disclose information to service providers that assist us with functions such as:

  • website hosting and administration;

  • ecommerce and order processing;
  • payment processing;
  • newsletter and email delivery;
  • forms and registrations;
  • analytics;
  • security and fraud prevention;
  • customer support;
  • accounting, legal, or professional services.

These providers may process information only as permitted by their agreements with us and applicable law.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights or safety, or as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, or sale of business assets.

7. Sale of personal information

Dear Beautiful Soul does not knowingly sell personal information for monetary consideration.

If our practices change or we engage in activities that are legally considered a sale, sharing for targeted advertising, or similar regulated processing, we will update this Policy and provide any legally required choices or opt-out mechanisms.

8. Analytics and website performance

We may use analytics and website-performance services to understand how visitors interact with our Site.

These services may collect technical information such as device information, IP address, referring pages, pages viewed, and interaction data.

We use this information to understand website performance and improve the visitor experience.

9. Legal bases for visitors in the EEA and UK

If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to our processing of your personal data, our legal bases may include:

Consent
For example, when you voluntarily subscribe to marketing communications.

Contract
When processing information is necessary to provide something you purchased or requested.

Legitimate interests
For reasonable business activities such as improving our Site, protecting our business, responding to inquiries, and understanding Site usage, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Legal obligation
When processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

EU guidance requires privacy notices to explain the identity of the controller, purposes, categories of data, legal bases, retention, recipients, international transfers, and individuals’ rights.

10. International data transfers

Dear Beautiful Soul is based in the United States.

If you access our services from another country, your information may be transferred to or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we and our service providers may rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as contractual protections or approved data-transfer frameworks.

11. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining appropriate business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

12. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies to you, you may have the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion of certain information;
  • receive a portable copy of certain information;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • object to or restrict certain processing;
  • opt out of certain targeted advertising, profiling, sale, or sharing practices where applicable;
  • appeal certain decisions regarding privacy requests where applicable;
  • lodge a complaint with a relevant data-protection authority.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act provides rights including access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain opt-outs for covered businesses, although the Act applies only once specified processing thresholds are met.

California privacy law similarly applies to businesses meeting statutory thresholds, including certain revenue, data-volume, or data-sale criteria.

13. Children

The Site and Dear Beautiful Soul’s services are intended for adults.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without legally required parental consent.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us.

14. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no website, database, transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Third-party links and embedded content

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, embedded videos, social media content, podcasts, payment services, or other external services.

Those third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies and practices.

Dear Beautiful Soul is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or services we do not control.

16. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our services, technologies, or legal obligations change.

When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date shown at the top of this page and provide additional notice when legally required.
