Privacy Policy

How Pithy Wordsmithery collects, uses, and protects the information you share with us through our website, forms, newsletter, and courses.

Information we collect

We only collect the information we need to respond to you and deliver our services.

  • Details you submit through our contact form, such as your name, email address, and message.
  • Your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or podcast updates.
  • Information you provide when you enroll in a course or begin a book project with us.
  • Basic, aggregated analytics about how visitors use our site, such as pages viewed and referring links.

How we use your information

We use your information to reply to inquiries, schedule calls, deliver the services or courses you purchased, send updates you asked for, and improve our website and content. We do not sell your personal information.

Email and marketing

If you opt in to our newsletter, we send occasional emails about new episodes, articles, courses, and offers. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run our business — for example scheduling (Calendly), email delivery, payment processing, podcast hosting, and website analytics. These providers only receive the information required to perform their service and are bound by their own privacy policies.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly and to understand traffic patterns. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected.

Confidentiality of client work

Manuscripts, notes, interviews, recordings, and any other materials shared with us as part of a book project are treated as confidential. We do not publish or share client work without written permission.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, and we use reasonable safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and you may unsubscribe from our emails at any time. Use the contact form on our website and we will respond promptly.

Children's privacy

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date below and post the updated version on this page.
