Privacy Policy

What this site collects

This is a static website. Newsletter sign-ups, membership payments and email inquiries use the separate services described below. The host and other providers may also process technical information, such as browser requests and security logs; collection is not limited to information entered into a form.

• Newsletter and free primer. If you subscribe, you provide your first name, last name and email address. These are submitted through a Google Form and stored in a Google Sheet owned by Dr. Lakisha®, used to send the primer and occasional updates.
• Membership inquiries. If you request membership in The Alkemist Mother, you write to Dr. Lakisha® by email. Payment, when you choose to join, is handled by Stripe through a secure payment link; this site never sees or stores your card details.
• Contact form. The contact form opens your own email application to send a message directly to Dr. Lakisha®. No message data is stored on this site.

How it is used

Your email is used to send what you asked for and occasional related updates, nothing more. Your information is not sold, rented, or shared for advertising. It is shared only with the service providers that make these functions work.

Service providers

• Google (Forms and Sheets) for newsletter sign-ups.
• Stripe for membership payment processing.
• DreamHost for website hosting.
• Cloudflare for domain routing, security, and cookieless website analytics.
• YouTube for embedded video, loaded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com).

Each provider handles data under its own privacy terms.

Cookies and analytics

This site carries no advertising code and no cross-site tracking. It uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies. Video thumbnails load from YouTube's image servers. A video loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain only when you press play, and YouTube handles that viewing under its own terms. The host and security services may keep technical logs.

Your choices

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe option. You may also write to Dr. Lakisha® to ask what is held about you, to correct it, or to have it removed.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult and professional audience and does not knowingly collect data from children.
