Privacy Policy

 

Effective Date: October 22, 2026

Pet Sitter Confessional LLC ("we," "us," or "our") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit www.petsitterconfessional.com (the "Website"), subscribe to our newsletter, or join our membership through Patreon.

By using our Website or services, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter.

  • Name, email address, and any other details you include when you contact us through a form or by email.

  • If you become a member through Patreon, Patreon shares your name, email address, membership tier, and payment status with us so we can deliver member benefits. We never see your full payment details.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our Website, certain data is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools:

  • Device and browser information: IP address, browser type, and operating system.

  • Usage data: pages visited, time spent on the site, and referral sources.

  • Cookies and tracking technologies, used for analytics and improving the site (see Section 4).

C. Payment Information

Membership payments are processed by Patreon. Any purchases made directly through our Website are processed by Squarespace and its payment processor (such as Stripe). We do not see or store your full card details.

2. Why We Collect It and How We Use It

We collect personal information with your consent (when you subscribe, contact us, or join as a member), to fulfill our agreement with you (when you purchase a membership), and for our legitimate interests in running and improving the Website.

We use your information to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and manage your requests.

  • Send our newsletter and updates, if you've subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

  • Deliver member benefits, bonus content, and account-related messages to Patreon members.

  • Analyze how the Website is used and improve its content.

  • Process any transactions you make.

  • Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

3. Who We Share It With

We share data only with the service providers needed to run the Website and membership:

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights. Each provider maintains its own privacy policy, linked above.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies to analyze performance, understand visitor interactions, and improve functionality.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Visitors from the EU, UK, and other regions that require consent will see a cookie banner on their first visit where they can accept or decline non-essential cookies.

5. Data Retention and International Transfers

We keep your information for as long as you're subscribed or a member, or as long as needed for the purposes above, and delete it when you ask or when it's no longer needed.

We're based in the United States, and our service providers store and process data on US servers. If you're outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.

  • Request correction of inaccurate data.

  • Request deletion of your data.

  • Restrict or object to how we use your data.

  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.

These rights apply to residents of the European Union and United Kingdom under the GDPR and UK GDPR, and to residents of U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws, including California. EU residents also have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [your email]. We'll respond within the time required by applicable law. We will never treat you differently for exercising your privacy rights.

Please note that unsubscribing from the newsletter does not cancel a Patreon membership. To cancel your membership, log in to your Patreon account.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Website and membership are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data:

  • The Website uses SSL encryption for data in transit.

  • Subscriber and member information is stored with Squarespace and Patreon, which maintain their own security safeguards.

  • Access to personal information is limited to the people who need it to run the Website, newsletter, and membership.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information appropriately.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our Website and newsletter may link to other websites or embed third-party content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
