At Perfectly Poetic, we value your privacy almost as much as we value a well-placed metaphor. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and why we’re not secretly mining your data to fund a private island of Romantic-era reenactors. (We wish.)
1. Who We Are
This site—https://perfectlypoetic.com—is the online home of the Perfectly Poetic Podcast, hosted by Allen Mowery. If you ever have questions about this policy or want to send us sonnets in legalese, you can email us at: poetic@perfectlypoetic.com
2. What We Collect (And Why)
We keep data collection to a minimum, but here’s what may be gathered when you interact with the site:
- Contact Form Info: If you reach out via our contact form, we collect your name and email address, and whatever you write to us. We use this only to respond to your message, not to add you to a newsletter or cult.
- Email Subscriptions: If you sign up for updates, your name and email are stored by our email service provider (like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or similar). You can unsubscribe at any time. No hard feelings.
- Site Analytics: We use basic website analytics (like Google Analytics) to understand how people are finding us, what content gets clicks, and what doesn’t. It’s anonymous and used only to make the site better—not to stalk you.
3. How We Use Your Info
- To respond to your messages or inquiries
- To send occasional podcast updates if you opt-in
- To analyze site traffic and improve the website
- To ensure the comments section (if enabled) isn’t overrun by bots or trolls
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. Ever. We hate spam more than a pretentious haiku.
4. Cookies (Not the Chocolate Chip Kind)
This site may use cookies to:
- Keep track of visitor preferences
- Enable basic analytics
- Help the site function properly (like remembering you filled out a form)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer to live dangerously.
5. Embedded Content and Links
Some podcast episodes or articles may include embedded content (like YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, etc.). These behave just like if you visited those websites directly, and they may collect data or track your interaction with that embedded content. We can’t control that, so please check their policies if you’re concerned.
6. Data Sharing
We only share your data with services essential to the operation of this site, such as:
- Email newsletter providers (if you opt-in)
- Website analytics tools
- Podcast hosting platforms (for stats)
- Our web hosting company
All third-party providers we use are reputable and committed to data security.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live (hello, GDPR), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request corrections or deletions
- Withdraw consent (like unsubscribing from emails)
Email us at poetic@perfectlypoetic.com to make any of these requests. We’re happy to help—no bureaucratic riddles required.
8. How We Protect Your Data
We use secure hosting, strong passwords, and regular site maintenance to keep things safe. However, no website can guarantee 100% security, so if the internet ever implodes, at least we’ll have poetry.
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect new features or changes in the law (or if we finally get that poet reenactor island up and running). You’ll always find the latest version right here on this page.
10. Questions?
Feel free to reach out to us at poetic@perfectlypoetic.com. We take your privacy seriously—almost as seriously as we take mocking bad poetry.
