Privacy Policy for DeeParris.com
Effective Date: August 1, 2025
At DeeParris.com, your privacy matters. Whether you’re booking a Romance Rx session, browsing through our blog, or just checking things out, we’re committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit or interact with our website, home of Dee Parris | The Romance Paramedic.
What We Collect
When you interact with our site, we may collect the following types of information:
- Personal details you voluntarily share, such as your name, email address, or contact information—whether through our contact form, email list signups (via Kit.com), booking a session through Calendly, or registering for an event or service.
- Purchase and booking details if you buy a product, service, or ticket through our store or third-party payment platforms like Square or Stripe.
- Analytics and behavioral data collected automatically through cookies and third-party tools to help us understand how visitors use the site. This data does not include personally identifiable information.
Comments & WordPress Features
If you leave a comment on a blog post:
- We collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user agent to help detect spam.
- An anonymized string (called a hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once approved, your profile picture will be visible next to your comment.
How We Use Your Info
We use the information you share with us to:
- Respond to your questions, bookings, or service inquiries.
- Send updates about events, blog posts, or special offers (only if you’ve opted in).
- Improve the content, layout, and functionality of our website for a better user experience.
We value your trust and will never spam or overload your inbox.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use basic cookies and analytics tools to improve the site. Here’s how that works:
- If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will check if your browser accepts cookies (no personal data is stored).
- When you log in, we set cookies to save your login and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if you select “Remember Me”), and screen option cookies last for one year.
- If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information.
Data Retention
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely to help us recognize and approve any follow-ups automatically.
- If you register for an account (if available), we store the personal information you provide. You can see, edit, or delete your info at any time—except for your username, which cannot be changed. Website admins can also see and edit this information.
Your Rights & Choices
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Request that we update or delete your personal data (unless we’re required to keep it for legal or security reasons).
- Opt out of email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails.
- Contact us directly with any privacy-related concerns or questions.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If you reset your password, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How We Share Information
We never sell or trade your personal data. We only share your information when:
- It’s required to deliver a service (like payment processing or appointment scheduling).
- It’s required by law or to protect our legal rights.
We use trusted third-party tools such as Calendly, Stripe, Square, and Kit.com. These platforms manage your data under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review when using their services.
Embedded Content & Third-Party Links
Some pages on our site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images, blog articles). This embedded content behaves just like you visited the external site directly.
These external websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction—especially if you’re logged into their platform. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites, so please review their policies if you interact with them.
Affiliate Disclosure
DeeParris.com includes affiliate links to products and services we genuinely love and recommend. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission—at no extra cost to you. Affiliate income helps us keep offering valuable content, and we only partner with brands that align with our mission to empower, educate, and entertain.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. All updates will be reflected on this page, and the most recent effective date will be noted at the top.
