The IP address collection helps us detect and prevent spam or other malicious activity that may harm our website. The WPForm service Privacy Policy is available here: Privacy Policy – WPForms.
Please be assured that we do not share your IP address or personal information with additional third parties. This information is collected strictly for the purpose of improving your experience on our website, enhancing our security measures, and protecting against fraudulent or harmful activities. All data collected is for internal use only, and we take appropriate steps to ensure it is securely stored and protected.

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
KiaraWrites does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties under any circumstances.
All data collected through forms, memberships, or purchases is used solely for providing website functionality, maintaining security, fulfilling requests, and improving user experience. We do not share your personal information with third-party marketers or advertisers.
If you have any questions or would like to confirm that your data is not being sold, please contact us at contact@kiarawrites.blog.
Third-Party Services & Payment Processors
We use trusted third-party services to provide membership access, process payments, and manage user subscriptions. These services may collect limited personal information necessary to perform their functions. We do not control how these third parties collect, store, or use your data, and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies:
-
Stripe (payment processor): Stripe Privacy Policy
-
Ko-fi (support platform): Ko-fi Privacy Policy
-
MemberPress (membership plugin): MemberPress Privacy Policy
When you complete a transaction through any of these services, your payment data is processed directly by the service you used. We do not store your full payment information (such as credit card numbers) on our servers. However, we may receive limited data such as your email address, transaction ID, membership status, and subscription type for record-keeping, support, or content access purposes.
By interacting with these services through our site, you consent to their data practices in accordance with their terms.
Data Retention
We retain personal information collected through our forms or membership system for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose it was collected for—such as managing your membership, providing access to exclusive content, or complying with legal obligations (e.g., tax/reporting requirements).
If you would like us to delete your information, please contact us at contact@kiarawrites.blog. Please note that in some cases, we may be legally required to retain certain information for a specific period of time.

Child Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is primarily focused on providing creative content. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not submit personal information through our website. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s internet usage and to help enforce this policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information without permission.
In the event that we learn we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 18 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information from our records.
If you believe that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at contact@kiarawrites.blog so we can take the necessary actions to remove the information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. It is the responsibility of the user to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
In the event of significant changes to how we collect, use, or share personal information, we will notify users by posting a prominent notice on our website or through other appropriate means. By continuing to use our website after changes to this policy are made, you acknowledge and accept the updated terms.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.) from external websites. Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as if you were visiting those websites directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, including tracking your interactions if you have an account and are logged in to their site.
Please note that we have no control over and are not responsible for the data collection practices of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit via embedded content to understand how they handle your personal information.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include using secure plugins, HTTPS encryption, and limiting access to personal data only to authorized administrators.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use this site at your own risk.
