Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Kristin Sargent ("I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit kristinsargent.me (the "Website"). The Website is operated by me personally. It is not operated by Sargent Initiatives INC.
Information I Collect
Information you give me
If you use the contact form, I receive the details you enter, which typically include your name, email address, and message. I also receive anything else you choose to include in your message.
Please do not include medical, mental health, or other sensitive personal details in the contact form. The Website is not a place to share health information, and I cannot provide medical advice.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Website, my website host, Squarespace, may automatically collect usage data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, how long you stay, and the website that referred you.
Cookies
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are necessary for the Website to load and work properly. Others help measure how many people visit and which pages they view. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent. If you refuse cookies, some parts of the Website may not work as intended.
How I Use Information
To respond to your messages and requests, including speaking and collaboration inquiries
To operate, maintain, and improve the Website
To understand how visitors use the Website
To keep the Website secure and prevent misuse
To comply with legal obligations
I do not sell your personal information.
Newsletter
The Website links to my newsletter, The Other Side of Fine, which is published on Substack. When you subscribe, you provide your information to Substack, not to this Website. Substack's privacy policy governs that information. Please review it before subscribing.
How I Share Information
I share information only in these situations:
Service providers: companies that help me run the Website and handle messages, such as Squarespace and my email provider. They may process information only to provide their services.
Legal reasons: when required by law or valid legal process, or when needed to protect rights, safety, or property.
Business changes: if I transfer or restructure the Website or related business, information may transfer with it.
With your consent: for any other purpose, if you agree.
Retention
I keep contact form messages and related information only as long as needed to respond to you, keep reasonable records, or meet legal obligations. Usage data is generally kept for a shorter period.
Your Choices and Rights
You may ask me to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you by contacting me through the contact form. I may need to keep certain information when the law requires it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law.
Security
I use reasonable measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information through the Website, contact me and I will delete it.
Links to Other Websites
The Website may link to websites I do not operate, including Substack, LinkedIn, and event or organization pages. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Not Medical Advice
Content on this Website reflects my personal experience and my own research. It is for general information only and is not medical, mental health, or professional advice. Talk with a qualified professional about your own situation.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. Changes take effect when posted on this page.
