Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

When you visit the Saramatic website, sign up for a free download or our emails, create an account, or purchase a digital product, we may collect the following information:

• Your email address, when you sign up for a free download, our emails, or an account
• Your name, if you choose to provide it
• Purchase-related information, such as what you bought, the price, and the date. Payments are processed by Stripe, and we do not see or store your full card number
• Basic technical information such as browser type, device, pages visited, and referral source, collected by the website and the embedded services described below

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as government identification, health records, or financial account details.

How We Use Your Information

• Deliver free downloads and digital products you request or purchase
• Send receipts and other messages related to your purchases
• Send emails you have signed up for, such as product updates and the Saramatic newsletter
• Communicate updates about the Saramatic platform
• Understand how visitors interact with the website so we can improve it
• Measure and improve our advertising on Facebook and Instagram

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We use advertising tools, including the Meta Pixel described below, which share certain browsing activity with Meta so we can measure and show our ads.

Email

When you sign up for a free download or our emails, your email address is stored securely through our email provider, Beehiiv. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every marketing email.

Depending on the signup form, we may ask you to confirm your subscription by email before you are added to the mailing list.

Cookies and Analytics

This website does not currently use a standalone analytics platform such as Google Analytics.

Embedded third-party services (such as the Beehiiv newsletter signup and attribution script, and the Meta Pixel described below) may use cookies or collect basic technical information including your browser type, device, pages visited, and referral source.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing the site, though some embedded features may function differently.

Advertising and the Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. (the company behind Facebook and Instagram). It uses cookies and similar technology to record actions on our public pages, such as viewing a page, signing up for a free download, starting a checkout, or completing a purchase.

This information helps us measure how well our ads work and show our ads to people who may be interested in Saramatic. Meta may link this activity to your Facebook or Instagram account and use it according to its own privacy policy.

The Meta Pixel is not used on signed-in areas of the site, such as your dashboard, journal, reflections, profile, or settings.

You can limit this tracking by adjusting your ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram settings, blocking or clearing cookies in your browser, or using the opt-out tools at optout.aboutads.info.
