Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

Your personal information should remain personal, not get passed around the internet like neighborhood gossip. This policy explains what ashleykesner.com may collect, why it is collected, and how it may be used.

Information You Choose to Share

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

  • Fill out a contact form

  • Subscribe to an email list or publication

  • Purchase a product or service

  • Book a call or appointment

  • Email me directly

Depending on what you submit, this may include your name, email address, message, payment details, or other information you willingly type into a box on the internet.

Please do not submit highly sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information through this website. Although I write about psychology, recovery, mood, identity, and other deeply human shit, this website is not a healthcare service, therapy practice, or secure clinical platform.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, ashleykesner.com may automatically collect basic technical information, including:

  • Your IP address

  • Browser and device type

  • General location

  • Pages you visit

  • Links you click

  • How you arrived at the site

  • How long you spend browsing

This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies. It helps me understand what people are reading, what is useful, and which pages are sitting alone in the digital cafeteria.

You can usually block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work as smoothly afterward, but that choice is yours.

How Your Information May Be Used

Information collected through this website may be used to:

  • Respond to your messages

  • Send emails or newsletters you requested

  • Provide products, services, downloads, or other content

  • Process payments or bookings

  • Operate and improve the website

  • Understand website traffic and audience behavior

  • Prevent spam, misuse, or security issues

  • Meet legal, tax, or administrative obligations

I do not sell or rent your personal information. I also will not add you to an email list just because you contacted me. That is weird.

Email Communications

When you subscribe to an email list, you may receive articles, updates, resources, or other communications from me.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of an email. No dramatic breakup speech is required.

Emails and subscriptions may be managed through a third-party service, such as Substack or another email marketing platform. That provider may process your information according to its own privacy policy.

Payments and Bookings

If you purchase something or book a service through this website, your payment or scheduling information may be processed by a third-party provider.

I generally do not receive or store your complete credit card information. Payment processors and scheduling services handle that information under their own privacy policies and security practices.

Third-Party Services

This website may use outside companies to keep everything functioning, including:

  • Squarespace or another website host

  • Substack or another email provider

  • Google Analytics or another analytics service

  • Payment processors

  • Scheduling and form tools

  • Buy Me a Coffee or similar support platforms

  • Embedded social media, video, or audio platforms

These companies may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies. I do not control what happens on their websites once you leave mine.

External Links

This website may contain links to other websites. Clicking one means you are entering someone else’s digital property, where their own privacy policies and terms apply.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content, availability, or questionable life choices of third-party websites.

Data Retention and Security

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you, provide what you requested, operate the website, maintain business records, or meet legal obligations.

I take reasonable steps to protect the information I receive. However, no website, email platform, or online storage system is completely secure. The internet remains the internet.

Your Choices

You may contact me to:

  • Ask what personal information I have about you

  • Request a correction or deletion

  • Unsubscribe from communications

  • Ask a question about this policy

Certain information may need to be retained when required for legal, tax, security, or recordkeeping purposes.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not intentionally directed toward children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy when the website, tools, or legal requirements change. The updated date at the top will show when revisions were made.
