Privacy Policy

Kumo Creative ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at https://kumocreative.co. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

We keep things simple. We collect as little data as possible, we never sell your information, and we are transparent about how everything works.

What we collect

Email address

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. This is the only personal information we ask for. We use it to send you creative inspiration, product recommendations, and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

Analytics data

We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how people use our site. This includes general information like which pages are visited, how long people stay, and what country visitors are from. We do not track individual users across sessions or build personal profiles.

Affiliate click data

Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you click one, the affiliate network may use cookies to track whether you make a purchase. We receive aggregate reporting (total clicks, total sales) but do not see any personally identifiable information about you from these networks.

How we use your information

• To send you our newsletter (if you subscribed)
• To understand which content is helpful so we can make more of it
• To earn affiliate commissions when you purchase products we recommend
• To improve the site experience over time

We do not use your information for targeted advertising, and we never sell or rent your data to third parties.

Third-party services

We use a small number of trusted services to run this site:

• Beehiiv — our newsletter platform. When you subscribe, your email is stored by Beehiiv. You can read their privacy policy here.
• Vercel — hosts our website and provides basic analytics (page views, visitor counts). No personal data is collected. You can read their privacy policy here.
• Affiliate networks — we participate in affiliate programs (including but not limited to Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and others). These networks may place cookies on your device when you click an affiliate link. Each network has its own privacy policy.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies. Our site itself does not set tracking cookies. However, third-party services we use (affiliate networks, newsletter platform) may set their own cookies. These are typically used to attribute purchases to our recommendations or to remember your newsletter subscription status.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking third-party cookies will not affect your ability to read our content.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email
• Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data from our systems
• Ask questions about how your data is being used

Data retention

We keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. If you unsubscribe, your email is removed from our active mailing list. Analytics data is aggregated and does not contain personal identifiers.

Children

Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will note the new date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
