Privacy Policy for marcdickenson.com

Last Updated: Aug 30, 2025

This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to your privacy regarding your visit to marcdickenson.com (the "Site") and explains how third-party services embedded on our Site may handle your data.

Our Approach to Personal Data Collection

At marcdickenson.com, our primary goal is to provide valuable content. We are committed to minimizing our direct collection of your personal information.

We do not directly collect, store, or process any Personal Information (data that can identify you, like your name, email address, or specific browsing habits tied to your identity) from visitors to this website for our own purposes.

Integrated Third-Party Forms and Services

While we do not directly collect personal information, our Site may utilize integrated third-party forms or embedded services. These services are provided by external companies and operate under their own terms and privacy policies. When you interact with such forms or services on our Site, any information you provide or that is automatically collected by that service will be subject to their respective privacy policies.

Examples of (potential) integrated third-party services and forms that may collect data:

  • Email Newsletter Sign-up Forms: If we offer a newsletter in the future, the sign-up form will be managed by a third-party email service provider (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit). Any information you submit through such a form (like your email address) will be collected directly by that provider.
  • Contact Forms: Should we implement a contact form, it will be provided by a third-party service (e.g., Typeform, Jotform). Your inquiries and any personal details you submit will be handled by that service.
  • AI Generated Content: This includes any and all AI Generated Content created from respective providers, such as by making calls to Google or Gemini API.
  • Embedded Content: This includes embedded videos (e.g., YouTube), social media feeds, or other interactive elements which may set cookies or collect data on behalf of their respective providers.
  • Affiliate Programs: If and when we implement affiliate links (as mentioned in our Disclaimer), clicking these links will direct you to external merchant websites. These merchants will have their own privacy policies governing any data they collect through your interaction or purchases on their sites.
  • Analytics Services: While we strive to limit direct data collection, some minimal analytics tools may be employed by our website platform or hosting provider. These tools may collect non-identifiable data or anonymized IP addresses to help us understand overall site traffic and performance without directly identifying you.

It is crucial that you review the privacy policies of these third-party services before providing any personal information through their integrated forms or interacting with their embedded content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites or services.

Cookies

Our Site may use cookies, primarily those necessary for the proper functioning of the website (e.g., session cookies by our hosting provider). Third-party services embedded on our site (as described above) may also set their own cookies to enable their functionalities or track your interactions as per their respective privacy policies.

You can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, this may affect the functionality of our Site and embedded third-party services. For more information about cookies, you can visit allaboutcookies.org.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not collect personal information from this age group without verifiable parental consent. Parents are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities and ensure that no personal information is shared without consent.

Third-party services are prohibited from collecting personal information from users under 18 without parental consent. This policy will be updated as necessary to comply with applicable laws. For questions, please contact us.
