Privacy Policy

What this site collects

This is a static website. It does not create accounts, and it does not track you across the web. The only personal data it collects is what you choose to give:

• Newsletter and free primer. If you subscribe, you provide your email address and, optionally, a first name. 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.
• Google Fonts for typography, which may receive your browser's request for the font files.
• 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 sets no advertising or tracking cookies. Pages with embedded video use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which does not set tracking cookies unless you press play. Website analytics, when enabled, use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless, collects no personal data, and does not track you across sites. This section will be updated if that changes.

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.
