At The Grieving Sibling, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.
Who We Are
T.J. Wray operates this website at https://thegrievingsibling.com. It is a resource and support site for people who have lost an adult sibling.
What Information We Collect
Contact Form
When you use the contact form on this site, we collect your name, email address, and the message you submit. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry. Additionally, we do not share it with any third parties.
Comments
When you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your comment. We display your name and comment publicly on the site. However, we do not publish your email address — we use it only to notify you of replies if you opt in. Furthermore, we check comments through an automated spam detection service.
If you opt in to saving your details for future comments, a cookie will store your name, email address, and website (if provided) in your browser for one year, so you do not need to re-enter them next time.
Cookies
This site uses only essential cookies necessary for basic website functionality. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies. In particular, the cookies we set are:
- Comment cookies – stored for one year if you choose to save your name and email when leaving a comment.
- Session cookies – temporary cookies set when you visit certain pages, discarded when you close your browser.
What We Do Not Do
We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics or tracking tools. Moreover, we do not serve advertising. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties, except where the law requires it.
External Links
This site contains links to external websites, including our Facebook community group. Once you leave our site, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Therefore, we encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.
Data Storage and Security
We store your data securely on servers located in the United States. We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To make a request, please use the contact form on this site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. As a result, any changes will appear on this page with an updated date at the top.
