Information you choose to share
When you send a message or leave private feedback on the reviews page, the form asks for details such as your name, email address, and your message. We use this information only to read and reply to what you sent.
Please do not send medical records or other sensitive health details through a website form. The podcast and this site are educational and are not a substitute for professional care.
How we use and protect it
- We never sell, rent, or trade your information.
- Messages from the contact page and private feedback from the reviews page are sent to us by email through Resend, an email delivery service. They are never posted publicly.
Services run by other companies
This site is hosted on Vercel. Episodes play on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, and the site links to Instagram and Facebook. Those links take you to the other platform, and its own privacy policy applies there. This site does not embed their players.
Cookies and analytics
This site does not use advertising cookies. The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you allow analytics cookies. Nothing is tracked unless you accept, and you can change your choice any time from the cookie button in the lower left corner of the page. If you turn analytics off after allowing it, the analytics cookies are removed.
If you allow analytics, we use Google Analytics only to see which episodes and pages are helpful. Google Analytics data is never used for advertising on this site.
Your cookie choice and your choices in the accessibility settings (the button on the right edge of the page) are saved only in your own browser and are never sent to us.
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the information you have sent us. Email functionalfourthtrimester@outlook.com or use the contact page.
