Erik Deci respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit erikdeci.com and how that information may be used.
Information you provide
If you subscribe by email, leave a comment, or send a contact inquiry, the site may receive the information you provide, such as your email address, name, message, and subscription preferences.
Email subscriptions
Email subscriptions are delivered through Jetpack and WordPress.com. Your email address is used to send new-publication notices and related subscription messages. Confirmation, preference-management, and unsubscribe links are included in provider emails. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Analytics
The site may use Google Site Kit, Google Analytics services configured through Site Kit, and Jetpack statistics to understand visits, page views, referral sources, and general site performance. These services may use cookies or similar technologies and may process technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location, and IP address.
Cookies
WordPress, Jetpack, analytics services, comment features, and embedded media may set cookies or use similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for security, preferences, and site operation. Others help measure site use.
Comments and contact inquiries
If comments or contact forms are available, the site may retain the information submitted along with technical details used for security and spam detection. Do not submit confidential information through public comments.
Embedded media
Pages may include video, audio, images, or other content from services such as YouTube, Vimeo, or social platforms. Embedded content can behave as though you visited the provider directly. Those providers may collect data according to their own privacy policies.
Media
Images published on the site may contain metadata. Visitors may be able to download public media and extract information included in the file.
Data retention and choices
Subscription information is retained while a subscription is active and as needed to document consent or honor unsubscribe requests. Comments and related metadata may be retained for moderation and continuity. You may use the unsubscribe or preference link in any subscription email to manage email delivery.
Third-party services
WordPress, Jetpack, Google services, and embedded-media providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies. Their practices are not controlled by Erik Deci.
Policy updates
This policy may be updated when the site, its services, or legal requirements change. The current version will remain available on this page.
