Privacy Policy matters — and if you’re here, you probably care about it too.
So let’s keep it simple.
No legal mumbo-jumbo.
Just straight talk about what happens when you hang out on Simply Journaling.
Why We Even Have a Privacy Policy
Here’s the deal:
When you visit a site, stuff gets tracked.
Cookies, analytics, email sign-ups — it’s normal.
But you deserve to know exactly what we do (and don’t do) with your info.
Because nobody likes shady data practices.
And honestly, we wouldn’t want ours messed with either.
What We Collect (And Why)
When you hang out here, we might collect:
- Basic site analytics – Like what pages you visit. Helps us know what’s working.
- Email address (if you sign up) – So we can send you journaling tips, new prompts, and updates.
- Comments – If you leave one, we save what you wrote.
- Technical stuff – Browser type, time on page. Basic performance data.
That’s it.
We don’t care about your cousin’s Netflix password or your grocery list.
We just want to make the site better for you.
How We Use Your Info
Simple:
- To make our site better.
- To send you helpful content (only if you ask).
- To reply if you reach out.
We do not sell your data.
We’re not in the business of creepy ads following you around the internet.
Cookies + Tracking
Yes, we use cookies.
Not the chocolate chip kind (sadly).
Digital cookies help us:
- See what pages people like.
- Figure out where you drop off so we can improve.
- Keep things running smoothly.
You can turn cookies off in your browser if you want.
The site will still work.
Mostly.
Third-Party Tools We Use
Because this is a small site, we use a few tools to keep things running:
- Google Analytics – Tracks traffic and popular pages.
- Email software – For our newsletter.
- Embedded content – Like YouTube videos (if we post them).
These tools might collect some data too.
But again — no creepy stuff.
Your Rights
You’re in control.
You can:
- Unsubscribe from emails anytime (there’s a link in every email).
- Ask us to delete your info — just send a message through our contact page.
- Say no to cookies — block them in your browser.
We’ll respect it.
No drama.
Data Protection
We take this seriously.
We use reasonable steps to keep your info safe.
We don’t store payment info (we don’t even sell anything yet).
And we don’t share your email with random third parties.
Kids’ Privacy
Simply Journaling isn’t for kids under 13.
If you’re younger than that, this site isn’t built for you.
No offense — just legal stuff.

No secret edits.
Final Word
Privacy Policy pages usually feel boring.
But here’s the point:
We respect you.
We won’t misuse your info.
We want you to feel safe using Simply Journaling.
That’s why this Privacy Policy exists.
And that’s why we keep it real.
So you can get back to what you came here for — journaling.
