Introduction

I Am His Karma is a survivor-led personal archive operated by its creator. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit iamhiskarma.com, make a contribution, create an account, subscribe to updates, or contact the site.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

Information Collected Automatically

This website is hosted by Squarespace. When you visit, Squarespace and connected service providers may automatically collect information necessary to operate, secure, and analyze the website, including:

  • Your IP address

  • Browser, network, and device information

  • The page or website that referred you here

  • Pages you visit

  • Links you click

  • Searches, scrolling activity, and timestamps

This information is used to understand site traffic, maintain security, identify technical problems, and improve the website.

Information You Provide

Information may be collected when you voluntarily:

  • Submit a contact form

  • Subscribe to emails or updates

  • Create a customer or member account

  • Make a one-time or recurring contribution

Please do not send confidential evidence, privileged communications, financial account numbers, medical records, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through an ordinary contact form.

Payments and Contributions

Payments are processed through Squarespace and its connected payment processors, such as Squarespace Payments, Stripe, or PayPal.

The site operator may receive transaction details such as your name, contact information, billing address, contribution amount, transaction date, payment type, and limited payment information. The site operator does not ordinarily receive your complete payment-card number.

Payment processors handle your information under their own privacy policies and security practices.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the website

  • Process contributions and paid access

  • Provide receipts and transaction confirmations

  • Manage customer accounts and recurring contributions

  • Respond to messages and requests

  • Send updates when you have requested them

  • Understand site traffic and reader activity

  • Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access

  • Enforce the Terms of Use

  • Comply with legal obligations and valid legal process

  • Protect the rights, privacy, and safety of the site operator, family members, readers, and others

How Information Is Shared

Personal information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

  • Squarespace, which hosts and operates the website

  • Payment processors handling contributions or purchases

  • Email, analytics, security, or technical service providers

  • Professional advisers when reasonably necessary

  • Government agencies, courts, or law enforcement when disclosure is legally required

  • Other parties when necessary to investigate fraud, security threats, harassment, or misuse of the website

I Am His Karma does not sell visitors’ personal information. It does not use personal information for targeted advertising.

Cookies

This website may use essential, functional, and analytics cookies. Essential cookies support functions such as security, checkout, customer accounts, and site navigation. Analytics cookies help explain how visitors use the website.

Where a cookie banner is available, you may use it to manage nonessential cookies. You may also restrict cookies through your browser settings, although doing so can interfere with certain website functions.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to email updates, your information will be used to send the communications you requested. You may unsubscribe through the link included in an email.

Transactional emails concerning contributions, account access, security, or purchases may still be sent when necessary to provide those services.

Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the website, maintain transaction and tax records, respond to requests, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.

Some transaction records may remain within Squarespace or a payment processor’s systems even after a contribution is refunded or an account is closed.

Your Choices and Privacy Requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information.

You may request assistance by using:

https://iamhiskarma.com/contact

The request must identify the information or account involved with enough specificity to allow it to be located. Identity verification may be required before personal information is disclosed, corrected, or deleted.

Some information may be retained when required for transaction records, fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, or the protection of legal rights.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed toward children under 13, and children under 13 should not submit personal information through the website.

The archive may discuss the experiences of children as part of the author’s documented family history. That editorial content is separate from information collected from website visitors.

Do not attempt to identify, contact, locate, or obtain private information about any minor discussed or depicted on this website.

Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. However, no website, email transmission, payment system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

External Websites and Embedded Content

The website may link to or display material from external services. Those services may independently collect information and operate under their own privacy policies. I Am His Karma does not control their privacy or security practices.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be revised when the website, its services, or applicable requirements change. The revised version will be posted here with an updated date.
