Rolling with the Curves, LLC (“RWTC,” “we,” “us”) operates rollingwiththecurves.com. We’re a small family business — Matt, Debi, and a very large dog — and we treat your information the way we’d want ours treated. This page explains what we collect, why, and what your choices are.
What We Collect
Information you give us. If you leave a comment, submit a contact form, enter a giveaway, or join our newsletter (The RWTC Pack), we receive what you provide — typically your name and email address, plus anything you write. Newsletter signups are managed through Kit (formerly ConvertKit); giveaways may run through platforms like SweepWidget, whose entry forms state what they collect.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use analytics and functionality cookies. These tell us things like which pages get read, roughly where visitors come from, and what device they’re on — aggregate patterns, not a file on you personally. Services involved include Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit), Jetpack/WordPress.com stats, and our cookie-consent tool, which lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit.
What We Do With It
We use this information to publish and improve our content, send the newsletter to people who asked for it, respond when you contact us, run giveaways fairly, and keep the site working and secure. That’s it.
We do not sell your personal information. Ever. We don’t rent it, trade it, or hand your email to sponsors.
Affiliate Links & Advertising
Some links on this site are affiliate links — including Amazon (as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases), Awin network partners such as Harvest Hosts, and other brand programs listed on our Partners & Affiliates page. Clicking an affiliate link may set a cookie from that retailer or network so they can credit us if you purchase. Those cookies belong to the third party and are governed by their privacy policies. Affiliate relationships never change what we say about a product — see our Product Review Policy.
Embedded Content
Posts and pages may embed content from other sites — most often YouTube videos, plus occasional social media embeds. Embedded content behaves as if you visited that site directly: those platforms may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction with the embed, under their own privacy policies.
Cookies & How to Control Them
We don’t set cookies by hand — they come from the platforms that run the site: WordPress itself (things like comments and sessions), our analytics and cookie-consent plugins, and third parties embedded in our pages, such as YouTube videos, affiliate networks, and — while a giveaway is running — the entry platform (for example, SweepWidget). Broadly, these are essential (make the site work), functional (remember your preferences), or analytics (tell us, in aggregate, which pages get read). You can accept or decline non-essential cookies from the banner on your first visit, and clear or block cookies anytime in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, install Google’s opt-out browser add-on. Blocking some cookies may break parts of the site.
Appearing in Our Videos
Rolling with the Curves is a video channel, so now and then we film where other people end up on camera. If we capture someone recognizable and want to use that footage, we ask them on camera for a clear yes or no, and we keep that recorded consent in our own files. You won’t see the ask in the finished video — if someone said yes, they simply appear; if they said no, we cut them out or blur them. Change your mind later? Email us and we’ll do our best to remove or blur you in anything still within our control.
Comments
When you comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form plus your IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you’re using it; the Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. Your comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized automatically.
Anything you post publicly — a comment here, or a reply on our YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok — is visible to others. We may also feature or read viewer comments in our videos or on our social channels (say, answering a good question someone left). If you’d rather we not show yours, tell us in the comment or by email. Don’t post anything publicly you wouldn’t want shared.
Who We Share Data With
Only the service providers that make the site run: our hosting provider, email/newsletter platform (Kit), analytics providers named above, form and giveaway tools, and spam-filtering services. Each receives only what it needs to do its job. We’ll also disclose information if the law genuinely requires it.
How Long We Keep It
Newsletter data stays as long as you’re subscribed — every email includes an unsubscribe link that works immediately. Contact-form messages are kept as long as needed to handle your inquiry. Comments are retained as described above. Giveaway entry data is deleted or anonymized once the giveaway is closed out, except records we need to keep for legal compliance.
Your Rights & Choices
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it (except data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes). You can decline non-essential cookies via the consent banner, and browser settings or tools like Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on give you additional control. To exercise any of these rights, email us — we’re a two-person operation, so a real human answers.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Security
The site runs over HTTPS, and we limit access to accounts and data to the people who actually need it (both of us). No internet service can promise perfect security, but we don’t collect more than we need, which is the best protection there is.
Changes to This Policy
If our practices change — a new tool, a new partner program — we’ll update this page and change the effective date at the top. Significant changes will be noted in the newsletter.
