Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

IncludeMe respects your privacy.

We believe people should be able to understand what information a website collects, why it collects it, and what happens to that information without needing a law degree to figure it out.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected and used when you visit IncludeMe.org, purchase or download our products, contact us, subscribe to communications, or otherwise interact with IncludeMe.

Information You Choose to Provide

Depending on how you use IncludeMe.org, you may choose to provide information such as:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Contact information
  • Information submitted through forms
  • Communications you send to us
  • Information necessary to complete a purchase or provide a requested service

We use this information for the purpose for which you provided it — for example, to respond to a message, provide a product, process a transaction, or send communications you requested.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, IncludeMe.org may automatically receive limited technical information when you visit the site.

This can include information such as:

  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Approximate geographic region
  • Pages visited
  • Referring websites
  • Date and time of visits
  • General website usage information

This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, analytics services, or similar technologies.

We use this information primarily to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve our content and services, and maintain security.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

IncludeMe.org may use cookies or similar technologies that help the website function properly, remember preferences, understand website traffic, or support services provided by third parties.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some portions of the website function.

Purchases and Digital Products

IncludeMe may offer workbooks, publications, downloads, workshops, applications, or other products and services.

When you make a purchase, information necessary to process the transaction may be handled by third-party payment processors or commerce platforms.

IncludeMe does not need or intend to directly store your complete credit or debit card information when payment is processed by an outside payment provider.

Those providers process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

Email and Communications

If you contact us, subscribe to a mailing list, request information, or purchase a product, we may use the contact information you provide to communicate with you about that request or transaction.

If we offer promotional email communications, you may unsubscribe from those communications using the instructions provided with them.

We may still send communications necessary to complete transactions or respond to requests you have made.

How We Use Information

Information collected through IncludeMe.org may be used to:

  • Operate and maintain the website
  • Provide requested products or services
  • Process transactions
  • Respond to questions or requests
  • Provide customer support
  • Improve our website, publications, and services
  • Understand general website usage
  • Protect the website and our users from misuse, fraud, or security threats
  • Meet legal or regulatory obligations

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or advertisers.

Information Sharing

We may share limited information with service providers when necessary to operate IncludeMe.org or provide a service you have requested.

These may include companies that provide services such as website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, security, or digital-product delivery.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal processes, protect our rights or the rights of others, investigate fraud or security concerns, or protect the safety and integrity of our services.

Artificial Intelligence

IncludeMe explores the practical and responsible use of artificial intelligence, and AI tools may sometimes assist us with research, analysis, brainstorming, editing, development, or other aspects of our work.

We believe AI should support human judgment rather than eliminate responsibility for it.

We do not intentionally submit personal information provided by visitors to public artificial-intelligence systems for unrelated AI training purposes.

If we introduce a service in which information you provide is intentionally processed using artificial intelligence, we will endeavor to explain that use where appropriate.

Third-Party Websites and Services

IncludeMe.org may contain links to websites, applications, payment services, social networks, or other services operated by third parties.

Once you leave IncludeMe.org or interact directly with another provider, that provider’s privacy practices apply.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of services with which you choose to interact.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate our services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, protect our rights, or satisfy legal requirements.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information under our control.

However, no website, computer system, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the ability to request access to certain personal information, request corrections, request deletion in appropriate circumstances, or receive information about how your data is being used.

You may contact us if you have a privacy-related question or request.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Children’s Privacy

IncludeMe.org is intended for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected in circumstances where parental or legal consent was required, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

Changes to This Policy

Technology changes, our services may change, and privacy laws and practices evolve.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect those changes.

When we make material updates, we will revise the Last Updated date shown at the top of this page.
