Privacy Policy

Last updated: Semptember 2026

Steven J. Morris ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website at sjmorriswrites.com.

Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what information we collect and how it is used.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

Email Address
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address through our email service provider (Kit/ConvertKit).

We may also share your email address (in encrypted/hashed form) with advertising platforms such as Meta to help us reach readers with similar interests, or to exclude existing subscribers from ad campaigns.

Analytics & Cookies
We may use cookies and tracking technologies (such as Meta Pixel or similar tools) to understand website traffic and improve our content and advertising.

These tools may collect:

  • Browser type

  • IP address (approximate location)

  • Pages visited

  • Time spent on site

We do not sell your personal data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Send newsletters and updates (if you opt in)

  • Improve website content

  • Measure advertising performance

  • Understand reader interests

  • Match subscribers against advertising platforms to build audiences of readers with similar interests.

You may unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link provided in each email.

3. Third-Party Services

We use third-party providers to operate parts of this website, including:

  • Email marketing services (Kit/ConvertKit)

  • Analytics services

  • Advertising platforms (Meta/Facebook, Amazon)

These providers may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies.

Third-Party API Services (Social Media Publishing)

Our publishing tools use official APIs from Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube to publish and manage promotional content on behalf of authors who connect their own accounts on these platforms. Where a platform’s own policy requires it, our use and transfer of data received through these integrations adheres to that platform’s developer terms — including, for Google/YouTube, the Google API Services User Data Policy and its Limited Use requirements.

Data accessed through these integrations (OAuth access/refresh tokens, post or video titles and IDs, and basic account identifiers such as channel or page name) is stored only for the purpose of publishing and managing your own content, and is never shared with third parties beyond the platform it was published to.

You can revoke any of these integrations’ access to your account at any time, through that platform’s own account settings (for example, myaccount.google.com/permissions for YouTube). Revoking access deletes our ability to act on your account, and we delete the stored token on our side as well.

4. Your Rights

You may:

  • Request access to your personal data

  • Request correction or deletion

  • Unsubscribe from communications at any time

To make a request, contact us at:

info@sjmorriswrites.com

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information but cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Updates will be posted on this page.

Terms of Service — Publishing Tools

These terms apply specifically to the account-connection and publishing tools described in our Privacy Policy (the integrations with Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube) — not to this website generally. By connecting an account through these tools, you agree to the following:

• You are responsible for the content you submit for publishing, and for ensuring it complies with each platform’s own terms of service and community guidelines.

• You authorize these tools to publish content to your connected account(s) only as you direct, through the review and approval process built into the dashboard.

• You may revoke access to any connected account at any time, through that platform’s own account settings.

Questions about these terms: contact info@sjmorriswrites.com.
