Welcome to DeborahWoodson.com — a heartfelt space for women navigating pregnancy, birth, and motherhood with courage and intention. Your privacy is important to me, and this policy outlines how your information is collected, used, and protected on this site.

Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://deborahwoodson.com
This site is owned and operated by me, Deborah Woodson, and is built on WordPress with third-party integrations like WooCommerce and ConvertKit to offer digital products, resources, and community support.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website (such as in a comment or testimonial), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to extract that data.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience. For example:

  • If you comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last one year.
  • If you log in (for example, to access a course), we set cookies to remember your login and screen preferences.
  • Cookies related to login expire in 2 days, unless you select “Remember Me,” which extends it to 2 weeks.

Cookies are also used for content editing, embedded media tracking, and improving website functionality. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if desired.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles, blog posts, or course content may include embedded elements like YouTube videos, Pinterest pins, or Instagram posts. These behave as if you visited the other site directly and may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions, especially if you’re logged in to that third-party site.

Email & Contact Information

When you sign up for newsletters, freebies, or coaching services, we collect your email address (and name, if provided) via ConvertKit. This information is used solely for the purpose of sending you helpful content, updates, and product offerings. You can unsubscribe at any time through the link at the bottom of any email.

E-commerce

If you purchase a digital product (like a guide or course), we collect the necessary billing and contact details via WooCommerce. This information is used to deliver your purchase and maintain customer service. No payment information is stored on our servers; all transactions are securely processed by third-party payment providers.

Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell or rent your personal data. Data may be shared only with trusted third parties (like email service providers or payment processors) solely for the purpose of operating this website or delivering services you’ve requested.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

Accounts: For registered users, we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except usernames).

Email Subscribers: Your email is retained as long as you’re subscribed or have an active customer relationship. You can unsubscribe or request removal at any time.

Your Rights

If you’ve left comments or signed up for emails, you can:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request that we delete any personal data, except data we must retain for legal or administrative reasons.

To make a request, contact us at: info@deborahwoodson.com

Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be scanned through an automated spam detection service. Email data is stored securely through ConvertKit, and transaction data is handled by secure third-party payment processors.
