PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to the KELSDSGN Secret Journal, accessible at journal.workwithkellys.fun, operated by the founder of KELSDSGN as an independent creative platform. By using this site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

The only personal data this site collects is your email address. This is voluntarily provided when you request access to members-only journal content by clicking "Unlock Access" and submitting your email through the form on this site.

No other personal data — including your name, location, payment details, or browsing behaviour — is collected by this site.

Your email address is collected through the access form on the homepage. Upon submission, a one-time 6-digit verification code is generated and sent to the email address you provided. You must enter this code on the site to confirm you have access to that inbox and to complete the verification process.

This verification step exists to ensure that only real, accessible email addresses are used to gain member access.

Your email address is used for the following purposes:

• To verify your identity and grant access to members-only content on this journal.
• To send you a one-time verification code at the time of access.
• To notify you when new posts are published on the journal.
• To send occasional updates from KELSDSGN, such as announcements, project availability, or creative updates — only if you have verified your access.

Your email will never be sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. You may opt out of email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in every email sent.

This site uses Resend (resend.com) as its email delivery provider. When you submit your email address to request access, that email address is transmitted to Resend's servers solely for the purpose of delivering your verification code. Resend processes this data in accordance with their own Privacy Policy, which you can review at resend.com/privacy.

KELSDSGN does not store your email on any server it operates directly. Once verification is complete, your email address is stored only in your own browser's localStorage on your device.

This site uses your browser's localStorage to store the following data on your device:

• Your verified email address — to keep you logged in across visits.
• Your cookie consent preference — to remember that you have acknowledged this policy.
• Journal post data — to display published content on the site.

localStorage data is stored entirely on your own device and is not transmitted to any server operated by KELSDSGN. It is not the same as a tracking cookie and is not used to monitor, profile, or track your behaviour across websites.

This site also uses Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, time on site, and general device/browser information. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. No personally identifiable information is sent to Google Analytics. You can learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Embedded content from Spotify, YouTube, and Cloudinary may also set their own cookies on your device, subject to their respective privacy policies.

Your email address is retained in your browser's localStorage until you choose to log out or clear your browser data. KELSDSGN does not maintain a server-side database of verified emails from the journal site itself.

If you receive email communications from KELSDSGN via Resend, your email may be retained in Resend's system for email delivery purposes. You can request removal at any time by contacting us.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data held about you.
• Request deletion of your email from any mailing list or email delivery system we use.
• Withdraw consent and opt out of email communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email.
• Clear your local browser data at any time through your browser settings, which removes all locally stored site data including your verified session.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at journal@workwithkellys.fun.

Posts on this journal may contain embedded content from third-party platforms including Spotify, YouTube, and Cloudinary. These embeds may collect data about your interaction with the embedded content, set cookies, or track your engagement. KELSDSGN has no control over and is not responsible for the data practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies directly.

This site is not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided their email through this site, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates or as required by applicable law. Any material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

For any privacy-related questions, data requests, or concerns, email us directly at journal@workwithkellys.fun.
