Life in The Mundane

Effective date: November 1, 2026

Your privacy matters to me. This policy explains what information Life in the Mundane collects, how it’s used and the choices you have.

Information I collect

  • Free printables and email sign-ups: when you request a free printable or join my emails, you give me your email address and, for printables, your first name. These forms are part of my own website. Your information is then added to my email list, which is managed by my email service provider, Brevo. Brevo also keeps a short note of which printables or forms you signed up through, so the emails you get are relevant to you.
  • Lists from my media library: when you ask to have a list of shows, podcasts or other picks emailed to you, you give me your email address. Requesting a list also adds you to my email list.
  • A record of each request: my website keeps a simple record of each sign-up or list request: your email address, your first name (if you gave it), what you asked for, the page you were on, the date, and whether the email was sent and the sign-up reached Brevo. This helps me fix problems and keep track of requests.
  • Purchases: when you buy from the shop, your name, email, billing details and order information are collected through WooCommerce. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor; I don’t store your full card number.
  • Accounts: if you create an account, your email address and a scrambled version of your password are stored on my website, along with your orders, downloads and any printables you save. Creating an account doesn’t add you to my email list.
  • Comments: your name, email, comment and IP address, plus anything you choose to share. If you have a Gravatar account, WordPress may show your Gravatar picture next to your comment.
  • Messages: anything you send me by email or through a form.
  • Analytics: the Site uses Google Analytics (through MonsterInsights) to understand how visitors use the Site, such as pages viewed, device type and approximate location.

How my emails are sent

  • Free printables and media library lists are emailed from my website. Those emails, and my regular newsletters, are delivered through Brevo.
  • Brevo may record basic information about my emails, such as whether an email was opened or a link was clicked.
  • Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

Keeping my forms safe from spam

To prevent abuse, my sign-up forms keep a short-term count of requests from each internet connection (IP address) and each email address. These counts are stored in a scrambled form, not as your actual IP address, and are deleted automatically within a day.

Cookies and similar tools

  • Analytics: Google Analytics uses cookies to measure visits to the Site.
  • Shop: WooCommerce uses cookies to keep items in your cart and to note how you found the shop, for example from a search engine or another website.
  • Embedded YouTube videos: some videos load in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode, but YouTube may set cookies when you play a video.
  • Subscriber-only pages: when you enter the password for a subscriber-only page, like my Character Study Guides, your browser keeps a cookie for 10 days so you don’t have to type it again.
  • Saved picks: the “Save” button in my media libraries keeps your list in your own browser. It isn’t sent to me unless you choose to email the list to yourself.
  • Saved printables: the heart button in my shop keeps your list in your own browser. If you’re logged in, your list is saved to your account instead, so you can see it on any device.
  • Accessibility toolbar: the Site’s accessibility toolbar may remember display choices you make, like larger text or higher contrast, in your browser.
  • Affiliate links: when you click an affiliate link, such as a link to Amazon, that company may use cookies to credit the referral. You can read more on my Disclosures page.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on.

How I use your information

  • To send the free printables, lists and emails you signed up for
  • To process and deliver orders and provide customer support
  • To understand and improve the Site
  • To respond to your messages and moderate comments
  • To protect the Site from spam and abuse

Sharing

I never sell your personal information. I share it only with service providers who help run the Site and business (such as Brevo for email, Google Analytics, my payment processor and my web host), when required by law, or to protect the Site and its users.

Your choices

  • Unsubscribe from my emails anytime using the link at the bottom of any email.
  • Ask to see, correct or delete the personal information I have about you, including your sign-up records, by emailing hello@lifeinthemundane.com.
  • Control cookies through your browser settings.

Children

The Site is written for parents and is not directed to children under 13. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared information with me, please contact me and I’ll delete it.

Data retention and security

I keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Sign-up records stay on my website until you ask me to delete them or I clear out old records. I use reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Changes

I may update this policy from time to time and will change the effective date above when I do.
