1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how The Wellespring Project collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with project materials.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following data:

  • Email address (if you subscribe to updates or newsletters).
  • Name if you provide it when subscribing or commenting.
  • Technical information such as browser type, device type, and general location (via anonymized analytics tools like Ghost's built-in metrics, Google Analytics, and Amplitude Analytics).

We do not collect sensitive personal information or financial data.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Send newsletters or new post notifications (only if you opt in).
  • Improve site performance and analyze aggregate visitor engagement.
  • Respond to direct inquiries or feedback.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely through the Ghost platform and its email delivery service (Mailgun). We take reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data.

If you are located in the EU, UK, or other regions covered by GDPR, we process your personal information based on your explicit consent (for newsletters) and our legitimate interest in maintaining the website’s functionality.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the information we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Withdraw consent to email communications.
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@wellespring.com.

7. Cookies and Analytics

This site may use minimal cookies for functionality and analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting access to most content.

The site uses analytics tools including Amplitude Analytics and Google Analytics, which collect anonymized user data. Such data is used only in aggregate form to understand user engagement.

8. Data Retention

We retain your email address and subscription data only as long as you remain subscribed. Unsubscribing automatically deletes or anonymizes your contact information.

9. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers strictly for email delivery, site hosting, or analytics, under appropriate data protection agreements.
