Lessons on Essence.
Effective date: [01 December 2026]

Our promise

Your trust matters to us. This policy explains in plain words what personal information Lessons on Essence (“we”, “us”) collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We collect only what we need, and we never sell your personal information.

Who we are

Lessons on Essence is an educational and inspirational website at lessonsonessence.com, founded and led by Anup Joseph. For any privacy question, contact us at info@lessonsonessence.com

What we collect

Information you give us: your name and email address if you subscribe to our newsletter, send us a message, or leave a comment, and anything you choose to include in your message.

Information collected automatically: basic technical data such as your device type, browser, approximate location (country or city), pages visited and time spent, gathered through cookies and similar tools.
Please do not send us sensitive details (such as health, financial account or identity numbers) through the site or by email.

How we use it

* To send the newsletter, updates and replies you have asked for.
* To understand which content is helpful and to improve the site.
* To keep the site secure and working properly.
* To meet our legal obligations.
We use your information only for these purposes, and only where you have given consent or we have a legitimate reason that respects your rights. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Cookies and analytics

We use essential cookies to run the site and, with your consent, analytics cookies to learn how visitors use it. You can accept, decline or change your choice through the cookie banner or your browser settings. Declining non-essential cookies will not stop you from reading our content.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent your information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the site, such as website hosting, email delivery and analytics, and who may use it only on our instructions. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

Where your information is stored

Our service providers may store data in countries other than your own. When this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information remains protected.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe, and messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and keep reasonable records. We then delete or anonymise them.

How we protect it

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

* know what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy;
* correct or update it;
* ask us to delete it or restrict how we use it;
* object to certain uses, including marketing;
* withdraw consent at any time;
* complain to your local data protection authority.
To use any of these rights, email [contact email]. We will respond within a reasonable time, and within any period the law requires. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link.

Children

Our site is written for adults, including parents and carers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other sites

Our content may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last changed, and we will highlight any significant changes on the site.
