Content on this site is for education and personal reflection. It is not personalized medical, mental-health, or legal advice.

8. How long we keep information

Contact messages: as long as needed to reply and keep a basic record
Email list: until you unsubscribe
Server and security logs: for a limited period unless an investigation needs them longer

When we no longer need the data, we delete or de-identify it.

11. U.S. state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including California, Colorado, Utah, and other states with consumer privacy laws, you may have the right to:

Know what personal data we collect and why
Access a copy of that data
Correct it
Delete it, with legal exceptions
Opt out of targeted advertising, profiling, or “sale” / “sharing” as those laws define those words
Not be denied service for exercising these rights

Utah residents may have rights under the Utah Consumer Privacy Act if that law applies to us. Email empoweredtrauma@gmail.com to make a request.

We do not knowingly sell personal information. If that ever changes, we will update this page and provide an opt-out.
