Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 October 2026

Hi! This page explains what personal information I collect when you visit janellecardozo.com, why I collect it, and what you can do about it. I've kept it as plain as I can.

Who I am

This website is run by Janelle Cardozo, a B2B marketer and copywriter based in Philippines. I'm responsible for your personal information ("data controller"). You can reach me any time at hello@janellecardozo.com.

What I collect

When you contact me (the boarding pass form): your name, email, company, the services you're interested in and your message.
When you sign up for updates (ebooks, the podcast list or my newsletter): your email address and, if you give it, your name.
When you browse the site: basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. This is collected automatically by the services that run the site (see below).

I don't knowingly collect information from children under 16.

Why I use it

To reply to you and talk about working together. (Legal basis: taking steps at your request before entering a contract, and my legitimate interest in running my business.)
To send you the emails you signed up for, like ebook launches and updates. (Legal basis: your consent. You can unsubscribe any time using the link in every email.)
To keep the site working, secure and improving. (Legal basis: my legitimate interests.)

I never sell your data, and I don't use it for advertising profiles.

Who helps me run the site

I use a few trusted services that process data on my behalf:

Ghost (Ghost Foundation): hosts this website and manages email sign-ups and newsletters.
Formspree: receives contact form messages and forwards them to my inbox.
Google Fonts, jsDelivr and Simple Icons: deliver the fonts, code libraries and icons the site uses. Your browser connects to them directly, which shares your IP address with them.

Some of these providers are based outside the UK/EU (for example in the United States). Where that's the case, your data is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the providers' Standard Contractual Clauses.

Cookies

This site only uses cookies that are needed for it to work, for example to remember that you're signed in as a subscriber. I don't use advertising or tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though signing in may not.

How long I keep it

Contact messages: up to 2 years after our last conversation, or longer if we work together and I need them for my records.
Email sign-ups: until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask me to:

show you the data I hold about you
correct it
delete it
stop or limit how I use it
send it to you in a portable format

You can also withdraw your consent at any time. Just email hello@janellecardozo.com and I'll reply within 30 days. If you're unhappy with how I've handled your data, you can complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

If I change this policy, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
