Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 9, 2026

Annie Gardner ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website theanniegardner.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from visitors and clients, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using the Site, submitting an inquiry, joining our email list, or opting in to receive text messages, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Contact information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and phone number, when you fill out an inquiry form, sign up for our email list, or opt in to text messaging.

Communications you send us, including messages, inquiry details, and any information shared during a consultation.

Automatically collected information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how you interact with the Site, collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Analytics and advertising data collected through tools such as Google Analytics, and — if and when we run advertising campaigns — pixels such as the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel or TikTok Pixel, which help us understand Site traffic and measure ad performance.

We do not currently sell products or process payments directly through the Site. If that changes, this policy will be updated to describe how payment information is collected and processed.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Respond to inquiries and communicate about our services

Send our email newsletter and marketing communications

Send text (SMS) messages to those who have opted in (see Section 4)

Run and measure advertising campaigns

Understand how visitors use the Site and improve its content and performance

Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site

Comply with legal obligations

3. Email Communications

If you sign up for our email list, we will send you emails that may include branding tips, behind-the-scenes content, reflections on faith and purpose, and promotional content about our services.

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time by clicking that link or by emailing us directly at [Insert Contact Email]. We honor opt-out requests promptly, consistent with the CAN-SPAM Act.

4. Text Message (SMS) Communications

If you provide your phone number and opt in to receive text messages from us, you agree to receive recurring automated marketing text messages (such as updates, offers, and reminders) at the number provided.

Message and data rates may apply.

Message frequency varies.

Reply STOP at any time to cancel and opt out of future text messages.

Reply HELP for assistance.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any service.

We do not sell or share your phone number with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Text opt-in is collected separately from email opt-in — checking a box to receive emails does not enroll you in text messages, and vice versa.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, and, where applicable, support advertising campaigns and retargeting. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions.

If we run paid advertising, we may use tools like the Meta Pixel or TikTok Pixel to measure ad performance and show you relevant ads on those platforms. These platforms have their own privacy policies governing how they use data collected through their pixels.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

We use third-party platforms to operate the Site and communicate with you, which may include:

Squarespace (website hosting and forms)

Our email marketing platform (e.g., Squarespace Email Campaigns, Flodesk, or similar — [Insert actual platform name])

Our SMS marketing platform ([Insert platform name if applicable])

Google Analytics and/or social media advertising platforms

These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually or contractually-equivalent bound to handle it appropriately, subject to their own privacy policies.

7. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

Know what personal information we have collected about you

Request deletion of your personal information

Correct inaccurate personal information

Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information)

Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

This includes rights available to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at worthybrandingco@gmail.com.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
