Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Dobb Mayo (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://dobbmayo.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information I Collect
Information you provide voluntarily. I only receive personal information you choose to give me, which may include:
- Your name and email address, if you subscribe to my newsletter or mailing list.
- Your name, email address, and message, if you contact me through a contact form or by email.
- Any information you include when leaving a comment, if commenting is enabled.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, my Site may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, referring pages, and general location (city/country level). This is collected through cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site.
How I Use Your Information
I use the information I collect to:
- Send you my newsletter or updates, if you have subscribed.
- Respond to your questions, comments, or messages.
- Understand and improve how visitors use the Site.
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site.
I will never sell your personal information.
Cookies and Analytics
The Site may use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and third-party analytics services to measure traffic and improve content. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.
Third-Party Services
I use trusted third-party services to operate the Site and my mailing list. These may include a website host, an email newsletter provider, and website analytics. These providers only receive the information needed to perform their services and are obligated to protect it.
Affiliate links. Some links on the Site — including links to books on Amazon — may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. These programs may use cookies to track referrals.
How I Protect Your Information
I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
I keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described here — for example, I retain newsletter subscriber details until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting me.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and to opt out of marketing communications. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom (GDPR) or in California (CCPA/CPRA), these rights may include the right to request a copy of your data or ask that it be deleted. To exercise any of these rights, contact me at privacy@dobbmayo.com.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided me with personal information, please contact me and I will delete it.
International Visitors
The Site is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the United States, be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I do, I will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
