We love a mess, but not with your personal info. This is the part where we tell you — in plain language — what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
By using ihateitherehq.com (the “Site”), operated by IHIH LLC, you’re cool with everything below. If not, no hard feelings — just don’t use the Site.

The TL;DR

  • We collect the bare minimum needed to run the show.
  • We never sell your info. Ever.
  • You can unsubscribe, request your data, or ask us to delete it anytime.

What we collect

Stuff you hand us:

  • Contact form: your name, email, and whatever story you’re spilling.
  • Newsletter sign-ups: your email (first name if you give it).
  • Comments: whatever you decide to post.

Stuff that happens automatically:

IP address, browser, device, pages visited, and a general sense of where you’re loading from (city-ish, not your front porch). Standard internet stuff.

Cookies:

Yes, the digital kind. They keep the Site working and help us see what’s getting traction. You can turn them off in your browser, but some things may get weird.

The third-party crew

We use a few outside tools to keep things running — each with their own privacy policy:

  • Our web host & WordPress
  • The newsletter platform
  • YouTube (for video embeds on Watch & Listen)
  • Spotify (for the podcast player)
  • Website analytics
  • Anti-spam tools on forms and comments

Your rights

You can:

  • Ask what we have on you.
  • Ask us to fix or delete it.
  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter (link is in every email).
  • Tell us to chill with certain types of processing.

Just email us via the Contact page — we’ll handle it.

How long we keep things

Contact messages: up to 12 months. Newsletter info: until you unsubscribe. After that, gone.

A few extras

Kids: This site is for adults. We don’t knowingly collect info from anyone under 13 (under 16 in some places). If a tiny human slipped through, email us and we’ll delete it.

Security: We use reasonable measures to protect your info, but nothing online is 100% bulletproof. We do our best.

International: We operate from the U.S. If you’re visiting from elsewhere, your info gets processed in the U.S.

Changes: If we update this policy, the “Last Updated” date at the top will reflect it. Big changes get a more obvious heads-up.
