Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to The LOVE>hate Project (the “we,” “us,” “our,” or “site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit or interact with our website. This policy applies to all visitors and users of the website.

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal Information you provide voluntarily, such as when you sign up for email updates, make a donation, request information, contact us, or otherwise interact with our forms. This may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and any other information you choose to provide.

  • Usage and technical information collected automatically when you visit our site — e.g., IP address, browser type and settings, pages visited, referring/exit pages, device type, time/date stamps, and other standard log data.

  • Cookies and tracking data, if you allow them (see “Cookies & Tracking Technologies” below).

3. How and Why We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Providing you with the content, updates, newsletters, or other communications you request.

  • Processing donations or orders (if you make a purchase or donation via our “Donate” or “Shop” functions).

  • Responding to your inquiries or requests.

  • Improving and optimizing our website — understanding how people use the site, diagnosing technical issues, and improving performance and user experience.

  • Complying with legal obligations, maintaining security, and preventing abuse or fraud.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to collect usage and device data automatically. Cookies help us understand how you use our site, remember your preferences, and improve functionality.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings — but disabling some cookies may limit certain features or functionality of the website.

5. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the site, process donations or payments, send emails, analyze usage data, or host content. These providers are only permitted to use your information to carry out the services we’ve outsourced to them.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or comply with a legal obligation, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (in which case we will notify users before transferring personal data to new owners).

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above — for example, to provide services you requested, to send requested communications, maintain records for tax or accounting purposes, or comply with legal obligations. After that, we either delete or anonymize your data.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to access the personal data we hold about you.

  • The right to correct or update inaccurate data.

  • The right to request deletion of your personal data.

  • The right to opt out of marketing communications and newsletters.

If you sign up for email updates or newsletters, you can opt out anytime by using the “unsubscribe” link included in the emails.

8. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However — no method of storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us — and we will delete it as soon as possible.
