Dear Thoughts (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us: When you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we automatically collect basic technical data: your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools.
Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences (such as day/night mode), keep the site secure, and understand how visitors use our content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.
2. Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
3. How we use your information
- To operate and improve the website
- To respond to your messages
- To send newsletters you subscribed to (you can unsubscribe anytime via the link in every email)
- To display relevant advertising
- To protect against spam, abuse, and security threats
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Data sharing
We share data only with service providers necessary to run the site (e.g., our hosting provider, email newsletter service, and analytics/advertising partners listed above), and only to the extent needed for them to perform their services.
5. Data retention
Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your request. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us via our Contact page.

Our content is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
