At Ripples of Empathy, your privacy and emotional safety are deeply important to us. When you share personal stories, details, or request a custom pep talk (“from your bestie”), we treat that information with care and confidentiality. We collect only the information you provide—like your name, email, and the personal context you share to help us create a meaningful message for you. We may also use anonymous site data to improve our services. Your recordings and personal messages will never be shared publicly without your clear written permission, and you can ask us to delete them at any time. We don’t sell or rent your data, and we only share information when necessary to run our business securely (like through trusted service providers) or to meet legal obligations. You’re welcome to access, update, or delete your information anytime by reaching out to us at [insert email]. We retain your info only as long as needed to serve you well, and we’re happy to remove it sooner if you prefer. Our site is not intended for children under 13, and we’ll delete any data collected from a minor if discovered. From time to time, we may update this policy, and we’ll always keep you informed. Questions? Just send us a note—we’re here for you.
