Privacy Policy
Last updated: [January 10, 2026]

This Privacy Policy explains how Sarah Simmer xo (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://sarahsimmerxo.com (the “Site”).

If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at [your email address] or via our contact form: https://sarahsimmerxo.com/contact/.

1) Information we collect

A. Information you provide to us
We may collect personal information you choose to provide, such as:

  • Contact forms: your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
  • Email signups/newsletters: your name and email address (and any preferences you submit).

B. Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device and browser information (such as browser type, operating system)
  • IP address (or approximate location inferred from IP)
  • Pages you view, links you click, and time spent on pages
  • Referring/exit pages and general site usage data

This information may be collected via cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4).

2) How we use information

We use information to:

  • Respond to messages and inquiries
  • Send newsletters or updates you opted into (you can unsubscribe anytime)
  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Monitor performance, prevent spam/fraud, and secure the Site
  • Measure marketing performance and show ads (when enabled)

3) How we share information

We may share information in the following situations:

  • Service providers who help run the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, spam prevention, form tools). They can only use information to provide services to us.
  • Advertising and measurement partners (when enabled) to deliver ads, measure performance, and reduce fraud.
  • Legal and safety reasons: to comply with law, enforce policies, or protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers: if the Site is involved in a merger, sale, or asset transfer.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain ad-related data flows (see Section 8 for opt-out choices).

4) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and tags) to:

  • Keep the Site working properly
  • Remember preferences
  • Understand how the Site is used (analytics)
  • Deliver and measure ads (when enabled)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may not work properly.

5) Advertising (Google) and personalized ads

If we display ads served by Google (for example, Google AdSense), Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this Site and/or other sites.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
  • You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

(We may also work with other ad networks; if so, they may use cookies and similar technologies, and they should provide their own opt-out tools.)

6) Social media, embeds, and third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites (for example, social platforms, product pages, or partner sites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their policies.

If we embed content (like videos, posts, or widgets), those services may collect data as if you visited their website directly.

7) Email communications

If you subscribe to our emails, you can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in the email (or by contacting us). We may still send non-promotional messages if needed (for example, important updates about the Site).

8) Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Opt out of certain uses of your information, including targeted advertising in some regions

How to make a request: Contact [your email] or use https://sarahsimmerxo.com/contact/ with the subject line “Privacy Request.”

Targeted advertising opt-out options:

  • Use your browser cookie controls and/or any cookie banner controls on the Site (if available)
  • Use Google’s ad controls (Ads Settings) and industry opt-outs (aboutads.info)
  • Use platform settings (for example, on Meta/Facebook/Instagram) to adjust ad preferences

9) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

10) Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

12) International visitors

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.

13) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when changes were last made.
