Hello, kindred spirit!
Your privacy matters to me. Here’s a simple way of understanding how I handle the information you share on my site.
This Privacy Policy explains how Sigrid Gladstone, creator of Sketches of Spirit & Story (sigrid.one), collects, uses, and protects your information. Your trust matters to me, and I aim to keep this simple, transparent, and human.
A Gentle Note on Privacy
Your privacy is important to me. I treat messages like alchemy: ideas arrive as raw ore, and through dialogue, they just might turn to gnew. Whether you carry feedback, collaboration dreams, or curious fragments of thought — your words are safe here.
I may collect your name and email if you contact me or sign up for newsletters, as well as general browsing information to improve your experience. I use this information only to respond to messages, send updates you’ve requested, and make this space more enjoyable.
I never sell or share your data for marketing purposes.

- General browsing data to understand how visitors use the site — collected in a privacy-friendly, anonymous way.
How I Use Your Information

- Improve the site’s flow and reader experience.
Your information is never snew or rented to outside marketers.
Analytics & Privacy
This site uses Matomo Analytics, a privacy-focused, open-source platform hosted entirely on sigrid.one.
This means all visitor data stays on this server and is never shared with third parties.
Matomo helps me understand how visitors move through the site — for example, which pages are most read — so I can make it more welcoming.
I do not use tracking cookies or personal identifiers, and I do not build visitor profiles.
I also respect your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting.
If you have Do Not Track enabled, your visit is not recorded.
All analytics data collected is fully anonymized and cannot identify you personally.

Data Protection
I take reasonable measures to keep your information safe. Still, no method of transmission or storage online is 100% secure. Please use your best judgment when sharing sensitive details.
