Effective date: November 1, 2026

I collect only the information I need to respond to you and do my work, and I don’t sell it. Much of my work depends on trust and discretion, and that applies here too. This policy explains what public-intimacy.com collects, why, and the choices you have.

1. Information you give me

  • Contact form: your name, email address, and message, plus anything optional you choose to share, such as pronouns, organization, the topic you’re reaching out about, and how you heard about me.
  • Discovery calls: when you book a call through our scheduling tool, your name, email, chosen time, and any answers you give on the booking form.
  • Email updates: if you sign up for updates or course announcements through Kit®, your email address and, if you give it, your name.
  • Payments: if you pay for a service on this site, payment is handled by our payment processor. I receive confirmation of the payment, not your full card details.

Please don’t send highly sensitive or confidential details through the contact form or email. Share only what you’re comfortable sharing, and we can go deeper in conversation.

2. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site’s server records basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, and the pages you visit. I use Google® Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how people find and use the site. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site still works without them.

3. How I use your information

  • To reply to your messages and schedule conversations
  • To provide coaching, consulting, speaking, and teaching you’ve asked for
  • To send updates you’ve signed up for, which you can unsubscribe from at any time
  • To keep the site secure and running well, and to understand how it’s used
  • To meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations

I don’t sell your personal information, and I don’t share it with advertisers.

4. Who I share it with

I share information only with services that help me run this site and my work, and only as much as they need:

  • My website host and the plugins that run the site and its forms
  • Kit®
  • Google® Analytics
  • Meadville Lombard Theological School, when you register for a course they host. Their own privacy policies apply to the information you give them.

I may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect my rights or someone’s safety.

5. Confidentiality of our work together

This policy covers the website. What we discuss in coaching, spiritual direction, or consulting is governed by the confidentiality terms we agree on when we begin working together.

6. How long I keep it

I keep messages and contact details only as long as I need them to respond to you, provide services, or meet legal and accounting requirements. You can ask me to delete them sooner, as described below.

7. How I protect it

This site uses encryption (HTTPS), and I limit who can access your information. No website or email system is perfectly secure, so I can’t guarantee absolute security.

8. Your choices and rights

You can ask me to:

  • Tell you what personal information I have about you
  • Correct anything that’s inaccurate
  • Delete your information
  • Stop sending you email updates

To make a request, email [email protected]. I’ll respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live, including Connecticut, California, or the European Union, you may have additional rights under local law, and I’ll honor them.

9. Children

This site is meant for adults. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent me information, contact me and I’ll delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I’ll change the effective date above. If a change is significant, I’ll note it on the site.
