Privacy Policy
Your trust matters more to us than any number. Here is plainly what happens with your information when you visit.
Last updated October 22, 2026
What we collect
Very little. If you join our email list, we receive the name and email address you share with us. If you write to us, we receive your message and email address. We never sell your information, and we only use it to care for this little corner of the internet.
Cookies and your browser
The site remembers a couple of small things in your own browser so it feels like home when you return: your chosen time of day (morning, afternoon or evening) and any journal pages you save for later. These stay on your device and are not sent to us.
Analytics tools and affiliate partners may also set cookies, as described below. You can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser settings; the site will still work, it simply may not remember your preferences.
Affiliate links and tracking
Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links to Bookshop.org and to other affiliate partners. When you click one, that store or partner may place a cookie or use similar tracking so they know your visit came from Sunflower Dreams. If you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. Those partners handle your information under their own privacy policies.
Our email list, through Kit
Our letters are sent using Kit (formerly ConvertKit). When you sign up, your name and email address are stored with Kit so we can send the notes you asked for. Kit may record whether an email was opened or a link was clicked, which helps us write letters that are actually useful. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can leave any time.
Analytics
We may use analytics to understand, in general terms, how many people visit and which pages they enjoy. This information is aggregated, meaning it describes visits as a whole rather than identifying you personally. It may include things like the page you viewed, the site that sent you here, your general region and the type of device you used.
Other websites
We link to shops, books and social pages we love. Once you leave this site, the other website’s own privacy policy applies, so it is worth a quick look there too.
Children
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared information with us, please let us know and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If anything changes, we will update this page and the date below.
Questions
If you have any questions about this policy or would like your information removed, write to [email protected].
