Effective Date: July 02, 2025

Hey there, beautiful souls!

At Sisters Voice, we believe in keeping things simple and honest. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you visit our little corner of the internet at sistersvoice.com. We promise to keep it straightforward—no confusing legal jargon here!

The Simple Truth About Your Data

Here's the deal: we really don't collect much information about you at all. We're not into being nosy or tracking your every move. The only time we get any personal info is if you decide to reach out to us directly.

When You Contact Us

If you send us an email through our contact form or reach out directly, we'll have your email address. That's it! We use it solely to respond to your message and have a conversation with you. We're not building some massive database or anything like that.

What Happens Automatically

Like most websites, some basic technical info gets logged when you visit:

• Your general location (like what city you're in, based on IP address)
• What type of device and browser you're using
• Which pages you looked at
• When you visited

This is just standard website stuff that helps us understand if our site is working properly. We're not connecting this to your personal identity or anything creepy like that.

About Those Ads (Google AdSense)

Let's be real about advertising—we participate in Google AdSense to help keep this blog running. Here's what that means for you:

Google shows ads on our site, and they use something called cookies to figure out what kinds of ads might interest you. These aren't cookies you can eat (unfortunately!), but little pieces of code that remember things about your browsing.

You can learn more about how Google uses your data here : https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Your Control Over Ads

The good news? You're totally in control:

• You can turn off personalized ads in your Google account settings: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated

• Your browser lets you block or delete cookies anytime

• You can use ad blockers if that's your thing

We want you to feel comfortable here, so do whatever feels right for you!

What We DON'T Do

Let's clear up what we absolutely don't do:

• We don't sell your information to anyone. Ever.
• We don't spam you with emails (unless you specifically ask us to keep in touch)
• We don't track you across the internet like some digital stalker
• We don't track you across the internet like some digital stalker

Cookies — The Digital Kind

Our website uses a few types of cookies:

• The Essential Ones: These make the website actually work. Without them, things would break, and nobody wants that.
• Google Analytics: This helps us see which blog posts you love most and if our site is loading properly. It's like having a friendly analytics assistant.
  Google Analytics Privacy Policy
• Ad Cookies: These come from Google AdSense and help show you ads that might actually be useful instead of completely random ones.

You can turn off cookies in your browser anytime, though some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.

Third-Party Links

Sometimes we link to other websites, online stores, or resources we think you'll love. Just remember, once you click away from Sisters Voice, you're playing by their privacy rules, not ours. We can't control what they do, so check out their policies if you're curious.

Keeping Your Info Safe

The email addresses we do have are kept secure. We're not running some fancy tech company, but we use common-sense security practices like SSL encryption and limited access, and only access emails when we need to respond to you.

Your Rights

You have every right to:

• Ask what information we have about you (spoiler: probably just your email if you contacted us)
• Ask us to delete your email from our records
• Stop us from using your information

Just shoot us an email if you want to exercise any of these rights. We're pretty laid-back about it.

Kids and Privacy

Sisters Voice is written for adult women navigating life's adventures. We don't intentionally collect information from anyone under 18 years old. If you're a parent and think we accidentally got your child's info, please let us know right away.

When Things Change

If we ever need to update this privacy policy, we'll post the changes right here and update the date at the top. We're not planning any major changes, but life happens, right? Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Questions? Just Ask!

If you have any questions about privacy, how we handle your information, or anything else, don't hesitate to reach out. We're real people who actually read and respond to emails.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! We appreciate you being part of the Sisters Voice community. 💕
