LOCKED IN A GETAWAY CAR | PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026


Hey. This Privacy Policy explains what info may be collected when you visit affirmedemotions.com (the “Site”), how it may be used, & the choices you have. I’m big on consent & transparency, so here we go.

The short version

— I collect only what’s needed to run the Site, respond to messages, & share updates if you opt in.

— I don’t sell your personal information.

— If you subscribe to emails, you can unsubscribe anytime.

What info may be collected

1) Info you choose to share

You may provide personal information when you:


— Subscribe to updates (like your email address)

— Contact me through a form, chat feature, or email

— Send any other information through the Site


This can include your name, email address, & anything you type into a message


2) Website usage info (automatic)

Like most websites, the Site may automatically collect certain information such as:


— IP address (or an anonymized version)

— Device type, browser type, and operating system

— Pages viewed, time spent on the Site, & links clicked

— General location info (like city/region)


This helps me understand what content is useful & keep the site working properly



Cookies & tracking

The Site may use cookies & similar technologies to:


— remember preferences

— understand traffic & page performance

— support embedded tools (like chat or video embeds)


You can control cookies through your browser settings but blocking cookies might affect how some parts of the Site function


How your info may be used

Information collected may be used to:


— respond to messages you send

— deliver email updates if you subscribe

— improve the Site, content, & user experience

— maintain site security & prevent spam or misuse

— comply with legal obligations


Email subscriptions

If you subscribe, you’ll receive updates when I publish or send something new. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email. Email services may track basic engagement (like opens/clicks) so I can tell what’s helpful & what’s not.


Third-party services

The Site may rely on third-party tools to function (for example: website hosting, analytics, email delivery, chat, or embedded content). Those providers may process data on my behalf under their own privacy policies.

Common examples include:


— Website hosting/platform provider (to run the site)

— Email marketing provider (to deliver subscriptions)

— Analytics tools (to understand traffic)

— Chat tools/widgets (to handle messages)


Embedded content

Some pages may include embedded content (like videos, social posts, or other widgets). Embedded content behaves like you visited the other website directly, & those sites may collect data or use cookies.


Important note about therapy & protected health information (PHI)

This Site is not a secure platform for therapy or crisis support, & it’s not intended for sharing sensitive health information.

Please don’t submit private clinical details through the Site, chat, or email. If you are an existing client, please use the secure method we’ve agreed on for communication & documentation.


Data retention

I keep information only as long as reasonably necessary to:

— respond to inquiries

— provide subscribed updates

— maintain records required for business/legal purposes

— ensure site security & prevent misuse


Your choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information.

You can always:


— unsubscribe from emails anytime

— contact me to request changes or deletion of information you’ve provided through the Site (where applicable)


To make a request, contact: jess@affirmedemotions.com


Children’s privacy

This Site is intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.


Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
