Storytelling with Impact Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Our Commitment to Privacy
Storytelling with Impact (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit storytellingwithimpact.com, contact us, subscribe to communications, or use our services.
By using this website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read this policy. Where applicable law requires consent to a particular use of personal information or cookies, we will seek that consent separately. Using the website does not, by itself, constitute consent where consent is legally required.
Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect the following categories of information:
Information you provide: such as your name, email address, and the contents of messages or inquiries you submit through our forms.
Newsletter and communication information: such as your email address, subscription preferences, and whether you unsubscribe.
Technical and usage information: such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring webpage, pages visited, and dates and times of visits.
Cookie and similar technology information: information collected through cookies, analytics tools, or comparable technologies, depending on which tools are enabled and your preferences.
Service-related information: information you provide when requesting coaching, storytelling support, or other services offered through the website.
Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information through general website forms unless it is necessary and we have provided an appropriate way to submit it.
How We Collect Information
We collect information directly from you when completing a form, subscribing to a newsletter, or contacting us through the contact form. We may also collect certain technical information automatically through our website, hosting provider, security tools, analytics services, and cookies.
We may receive information from third-party services you choose to use when interacting with our website, subject to their own privacy practices.
How We Use Information
We use personal information, as applicable, to:
- Respond to questions and requests.
- Deliver newsletters or other communications you have requested.
- Provide and administer coaching or other services.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Understand website traffic and improve our content and visitor experience.
- Remember preferences and operate website features.
- Detect fraud, prevent abuse, and protect our rights.
- Meet legal obligations and handle legal claims.
We will not use personal information for materially different purposes without providing any notice or obtaining any consent required by applicable law.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on the relevant basis for the activity. Depending on the circumstances, this may include your consent, providing a service you request, complying with a legal obligation, protecting legitimate business interests, or establishing or defending legal claims.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, protect against abuse, and understand how visitors use the site.
Analytics services may collect information about visits, page views, navigation, time on page, country, downloads, and device or browser characteristics. Our current website policy refers to Google Analytics.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Where required, we will provide a consent mechanism for non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.
For information about Google’s data practices, see Google’s Privacy Policy.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose information, as appropriate, to:
- Service providers that host, maintain, secure, or support our website.
- Communication providers that deliver newsletters or process contact requests.
- Analytics providers that help us understand website usage, if enabled.
- Professional advisers such as lawyers or accountants, where appropriate.
- Authorities or other parties when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.
- A successor organization in connection with a merger, restructuring, or transfer of business, subject to applicable law.
Some privacy laws define certain disclosures, including certain advertising or cross-site tracking arrangements, as “sharing” even when no money changes hands. If our website engages in those activities, we will describe them accurately and provide any required opt-out choices.
Email Communications
If you subscribe to our newsletter or request email updates, we may use your email address to send the communications you requested.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in the message, where available, or by contacting us. We may still send necessary administrative or service-related messages.
We will not treat a request for general information as permission to send ongoing marketing emails where applicable law requires separate consent.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.
Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the reason it was collected, and any applicable legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No website or method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of certain personal information.
- Receive a copy of certain information in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Opt out of certain sales, targeted advertising, or other data sharing, where applicable.

These rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions. To make a request, use the contact details in the section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without the consent required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
If our services are directed to children or we knowingly collect children’s information, additional requirements may apply.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing information.
International Visitors
Your information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live, depending on the location of our hosting provider and other service providers. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use the required safeguards.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or seek consent for material changes.
