Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

We collect only anonymous, aggregated analytics data to understand how the site is being used. This includes:

• ✦Pages visited and time spent on each page
• ✦General geographic region (country/city level only — not your address)
• ✦Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
• ✦Browser type
• ✦How you arrived at the site (e.g., Google search, direct link)

This data is anonymous — it cannot be used to identify you personally. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal information unless you voluntarily provide it by contacting Grace directly.

2. What We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or process:

• ✦Your name, email address, or contact information (unless you email Grace directly)
• ✦Your IP address in identifiable form
• ✦Cookies that track you across other websites
• ✦Payment information of any kind
• ✦Location data beyond general region

3. How We Use Analytics Data

Anonymous analytics data is used solely to understand which content is most helpful to readers, improve the site experience, and determine what new content to create. It is never used for advertising targeting, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond improving this website.

4. We Never Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any visitor data with third parties. Ever. This is a private space and we treat it that way.

5. If You Email Grace

If you choose to email Grace at any of the Red Lantern Wives addresses, your email and its contents are read only by Grace and are kept strictly confidential. Your email address and the contents of your message will never be shared, published, or disclosed to any third party without your explicit consent. Stories submitted for publication are edited to remove all identifying details before being shared on the site.

6. Cookies

This site uses minimal, privacy-respecting analytics that do not rely on tracking cookies. We may use a small local browser storage item to remember your preferences (such as whether you have acknowledged the adult content notice). This data stays in your browser and is never transmitted to us.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you are located in the European Union or California, you have specific rights regarding your personal data. Because we collect only anonymous analytics data and do not maintain personal records of visitors, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. However, if you have contacted Grace by email and wish to request deletion of that correspondence, please email [email protected] and we will honor your request promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
