Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 17 February 2025

1. Introduction

Nichole Creative LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates this website and blog for content creator and influencer Nichole Ciotti. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, subscribe to our content (free or paid), or participate in our giveaway(s).

By accessing or using our website, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy also applies to data collected through any promotions or giveaways, as referenced in our Giveaway Rules. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our website.

2. Information We Collect

Information Provided Voluntarily

Subscriptions: When you subscribe to our blog (free or paid), we collect information such as your name and email address to process your subscription and communicate with you.
Giveaway Entries: When you enter a giveaway, we may collect additional information (e.g., your name, email address, and other details required to administer the giveaway) solely for determining the winner and contacting you.

Technical Data Collected Automatically

Server Logs & Usage Data: We may automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system in our server logs to analyze usage and improve our services.
Analytics: We use third-party analytics software that does not store cookies on your device. These tools collect non-personal, aggregate data to help us understand website traffic and usage trends.

Data Collected by Ghost

Ghost Platform Data: Our website is powered by a self‑hosted Ghost platform that collects only the information necessary to support our subscription services and maintain website functionality. Ghost does not collect additional personal data beyond what is required for these purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • Website Operation: To provide and maintain our website, process subscriptions, and manage user accounts.
  • Communication: To send newsletters, updates, and important notifications (including those regarding giveaways).
  • Giveaway Administration: To verify eligibility, select winners at random, and contact winners for our giveaways.
  • Service Improvement: To analyze aggregated, non-personal data from our analytics tools and improve our website.
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.

4. Third-Party Services

Analytics Providers

We use PostHog as our third-party analytics provider to help us understand website traffic and usage trends. PostHog is configured to store data in memory during your session rather than using persistent cookies on your device. This means that tracking data is retained temporarily and is not stored on your device beyond your current session. For further details on the data PostHog collects and how it is used, please refer to PostHog's Privacy Policy.

Payment Processors

For paid subscriptions, we use Stripe as our third-party payment processor. When you provide your payment information, Stripe collects and processes necessary details such as your credit or debit card information, billing address, email address, and any other required data to facilitate the payment and subscription process. We do not store your payment details on our servers. For more detailed information on what data Stripe collects and how it is used, please refer to Stripe’s Privacy Policy.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard your personal information. However, please note that no security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected—such as maintaining your subscription or completing a giveaway—after which your data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights that include:

  • Access, Update, or Correct: Contact us to view or correct any personal data we hold about you.
  • Data Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal or contractual restrictions.
  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from our newsletters or marketing communications via the provided unsubscribe link.
  • Object or Restrict: In some cases, object to or restrict the processing of your personal data.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided in Section 10.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal data, we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page along with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy periodically.
