1. Information we collect

We collect the information you provide directly to us, such as your account details (email address and username), idioms and phrases you submit, and any communications you send us. If you make a purchase in our store, our payment and fulfilment partners may collect shipping and billing information needed to process your order.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Kindly Speaking website and services.
  • Display user-submitted content and run community features such as voting and moderation.
  • Process and deliver store orders.
  • Communicate with you about your account, submissions, or orders.
  • Use user-submitted phrases and related content to create and sell merchandise (for example, printed products).

3. User-submitted content

When you submit idioms, phrases, or other content to Kindly Speaking, you grant us a broad license to use that content for any purpose, including creating and selling merchandise. Your submissions may remain publicly visible even if your account is deleted or removed.

4. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information or user-submitted content to advertisers. We only share information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate the site, process payments, or fulfil merchandise orders (for example, payment processors and print-on-demand partners). These providers are required to handle your information securely and only for the purposes we specify.

5. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account by contacting us. Some information, such as publicly submitted content, may be retained to keep the site functioning.

6. Your choices

You can update your account information through your profile settings. You can also contact us to request deletion of your account.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
