This Privacy Policy explains how douglasfarrar.com ("the Site," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit or interact with it.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information you provide directly: When you submit your email address to reserve a copy of My Ultimate Life, request the free chapter of Abide, or contact us regarding the Your Ultimate Life reentry program, we collect the information you provide (such as your email address).
- Automatically collected information: Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use the Site, including pages visited, time spent, general location (city/country level), and device/browser type. This helps us understand what content is useful and improve the Site over time.
- Payment/support information: If you choose to support this work through Ko-fi, that transaction is processed entirely by Ko-fi under their own privacy policy — we do not receive or store your payment details.
