Privacy Policy

Welcome to justineanweiler.com. I, Justine Anweiler, am committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience while visiting my little corner of the internet. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you interact with the Site. If you have questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected].

1. Information I Collect

I may collect the following types of information:

Personal Information: When you contact me via the form, sign up for my newsletter, or leave a comment, I might collect your name (e.g., “Jane Doe”), email address (e.g., “[email protected]”), and any message you choose to share.
Usage Data: My Site uses cookies and analytics tools to track things like your IP address (e.g., “192.168.1.1”), browser type (e.g., Chrome), and pages visited (e.g., “/portfolio”). This helps me understand how you explore the Site.
Random Fun Stuff: If you participate in a quiz like “What’s Your Creative Spirit Animal?” I might store your answers (e.g., “Owl”) for a laugh and to personalize your experience.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use your data to:

Respond to your inquiries or comments (e.g., “Hey Jane, thanks for the collab idea!”).
Send you occasional updates via my newsletter about art, musings, or events (don’t worry, I won’t spam you—maybe once a month).
Improve the Site by seeing what works (e.g., “Wow, everyone loves the sketch gallery!”).
Comply with legal stuff, like if a random law says I need to keep records.

3. Sharing Your Information

I don’t sell your info—promise! I might share it with:

Service Providers: Like my email host (“CloudMail Inc.”) or analytics tool (“SiteStats LLC”) to keep things running smoothly.
Legal Folks: If required by law (e.g., a court order from Portland County) or to protect my rights (e.g., someone’s pretending to be me online).

4. Cookies and Tracking

Yes, I use cookies—think of them as tiny digital breadcrumbs. They help the Site remember you (e.g., “Jane’s back!”) and track trends. You can opt out via your browser settings, but the Site might feel a bit less magical.

5. Your Choices

Newsletter: Unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of my emails.
Data Access: Want to see what I’ve got on you? Email me at [email protected], and I’ll send you a summary (e.g., “Jane, you signed up on Jan 5, 2025”).
Deletion: Ask me to delete your info, and I’ll zap it (unless I legally can’t).

6. Security

I use basic protections like passwords and a secure hosting provider (“WebSafe Co.”) to keep your data safe. But the internet’s wild—hacks happen, and I can’t guarantee 100% security.

7. Third-Party Links

My Site might link to cool places like @JAnweilerCreates on X or an art shop. I’m not responsible for their privacy practices—check their policies!

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site isn’t meant for kids under 13. If I accidentally collect info from a minor (e.g., “Timmy, age 10”), I’ll delete it ASAP once I know.

9. Changes to This Policy

I might tweak this policy now and then. If it’s a big change (e.g., “I’m starting a podcast and collecting voice clips”), I’ll post a heads-up on the Site.
