This policy explains what information thelittleminimalists.com collects and how it’s used. We collect as little as we can.
Contact form
If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you type, plus your answer to “How did you find us?”. The form sends this to us by email; it isn’t stored on this site, and it isn’t added to any mailing list. We use it only to reply to you. The form uses a hidden “honeypot” field to block spam robots.
Email newsletter
If you sign up for our free printable, your email address (and first name, if you give it) is stored by our email provider, MailerLite, so we can send you the printable and a short series of emails. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the series. We never sell or share your address. MailerLite’s privacy policy: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy
Shop
Our printables are sold through Payhip. When you buy, Payhip and its payment processor (Stripe or PayPal) handle your name, email and payment details; we never see your card number. We receive your name and email so we can help with your order. Payhip’s privacy policy: https://payhip.com/privacy
Affiliate links
Some posts contain Amazon affiliate links. If you click one, Amazon may set cookies to credit the purchase to us, under Amazon’s own privacy notice. See our affiliate disclosure.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are read, how readers find us (for example from Google, Pinterest or YouTube) and which links and printables they click, so we know what to write and offer next. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser (their names start with _ga) and gives us statistics about visits. It doesn’t give us your name or email address, and Google Analytics doesn’t store IP addresses. We keep these statistics for 14 months, we’ve turned off Google’s advertising features (such as “Google signals”), and we never sell this information. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
A small banner asks for your choice on your first visit. In Quebec, the European Union, the UK and Switzerland, no analytics cookies are set unless you click Allow; elsewhere they’re on unless you click No thanks. When cookies are refused, Google may still receive a cookie-free signal that a page was viewed, with no identifier attached. You can change your choice at any time with the “Privacy choices” link at the bottom of every page, and people who manage the site are never counted.
We also count clicks on product, signup and video links on our own server, without cookies and without storing IP addresses, to see which items readers find useful.
Cookies
The only cookies we set for readers are the Google Analytics cookies described above, and only as your choice allows. The signup form (MailerLite) and any Amazon link you click may set their own cookies. Cookies are also used when someone logs in to manage the site.
Embedded videos
Some posts include YouTube videos. When you play an embedded video, YouTube (Google) may set cookies and collect information under Google’s privacy policy.
Security and server logs
Like almost every website, our web server keeps standard logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested and time) for security and troubleshooting. We use a security plugin to block malicious traffic. Logs are kept for a limited time and aren’t used to identify readers.
Third-party links
Some pages link to other websites, which have their own privacy policies. We aren’t responsible for their content or practices.
Children’s privacy
This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the contact form, please let us know through the same form and we’ll delete it.
Your choices
You can ask us to delete any message you’ve sent through the contact form. You can allow or refuse analytics cookies with the “Privacy choices” link at the bottom of any page, and block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, for example when we add advertising, we’ll update this page and the date below.
