# Privacy Policy

_Last updated: November 4, 2026_

At Motivatively, we respect your privacy. This policy explains what information 
we collect when you visit [motivatively.com](https://motivatively.com), join the
VIP Club, access free resources, or contact us, and how we use it.

## 1. Who we are

Motivatively is a personal growth brand offering educational content, downloadable
resources, and a free VIP Club newsletter. For privacy questions, contact [hello@mail.motivatively.com](https://motivatively.com/privacy-policy/hello@mail.motivatively.com)
or use our [Contact page](https://motivatively.com/contact/).

## 2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use our website, we may collect:

 * **Information you provide:** your email address and optional first name when 
   you subscribe, and any details you choose to send when contacting us.
 * **Email engagement:** subscription and confirmation status, message delivery 
   details, and opens or link clicks where email tracking is enabled.
 * **Technical and security data:** IP addresses, browser or device information,
   request information, security logs, and cookies used for website performance 
   or protection.
 * **Download access information:** technical requests needed to deliver downloadable
   materials or troubleshoot access.

## 3. How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, confirm VIP Club signups, deliver the
Motivatively Kickstart program and newsletter, share relevant offers, maintain website
performance, protect against spam and abuse, understand email engagement, and meet
applicable legal obligations.

## 4. VIP Club subscriptions and email choices

VIP Club signup involves email confirmation. After you confirm, we send the Kickstart
email sequence and our newsletter, generally every other week, with occasional relevant
announcements. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in our messages
or by contacting us. Required administrative messages may still be sent where appropriate.

## 5. Cookies, email tracking, and security

WordPress, our hosting services, and third-party providers may use cookies or similar
technologies needed for site functionality, security, spam prevention, and embedded
features. Sequenzy can process email opens and link clicks where enabled. You can
control many cookies through your browser, although disabling some may affect site
functions.

## 6. Cloudflare website services

We use **Cloudflare** services for website delivery, performance, and security, 
in addition to Cloudflare R2 storage. If our website traffic passes through Cloudflare’s
network, Cloudflare may process visitor IP addresses, request and device information,
and related security signals to deliver pages, detect threats, or help protect the
website. Depending on which Cloudflare security features are enabled, Cloudflare
may set necessary security or bot-protection cookies. For more information, see 
[Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/).

## 7. Google Analytics

We use **Google Analytics 4**, connected through Google Site Kit, to understand 
how visitors use Motivatively and improve the website. Depending on consent settings,
Analytics may collect page views, site interactions, approximate location, and browser
or device information. Where permitted by your choices, Google Analytics may use
cookies including `_ga` and related identifiers. We use a cookie consent banner 
so visitors can accept or reject optional statistics cookies and revisit their preferences.
Analytics may also send limited cookieless signals depending on the configuration.
For additional details, see [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

## 8. Services and third parties

We use service providers to operate our site and deliver content, including:

 * **Sequenzy** for signup forms, email confirmation, subscriber records, email 
   sequences, and reporting.
 * **WordPress and website hosting services** to operate and secure this website.
 * **Cloudflare and Cloudflare R2** for website performance or security, downloadable
   resources, and private backup storage.
 * **Etsy** as an external marketplace for purchases made through links to our shop.
   Etsy handles marketplace transactions under its own policies.

These providers may process information needed to provide their services under their
own terms. We do not sell our newsletter subscriber list. We may share information
where required by law or necessary to protect the website or its users.

## 9. Purchases through Etsy

Purchases made through the Motivatively Etsy shop are processed on Etsy. Etsy handles
payments and marketplace activity under its own terms and [Privacy Policy](https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy/).
We may receive order information made available to sellers for fulfillment or customer
service.

## 10. Security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online service can guarantee
perfect security. We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide
services, manage subscriptions, resolve issues, and comply with legal obligations.
Backups and provider records may remain for a limited period. Data may be processed
in countries where our providers operate.

## 11. Your choices and rights

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold by emailing
[hello@mail.motivatively.com](https://motivatively.com/privacy-policy/hello@mail.motivatively.com).
You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time. Additional rights and limits
may apply under the laws where you live. We may need to verify requests and may 
retain information where the law permits or requires.

## 12. Children’s privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek personal
information from them. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact
us so we can review it.

## 13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when website features or data practices change. Any updated
policy will be posted here with a revised date, with additional notice where required.

## 14. Contact

Questions about privacy or data requests can be sent to [hello@mail.motivatively.com](https://motivatively.com/privacy-policy/hello@mail.motivatively.com)
