Privacy Policy
Effective November 1, 2026
This policy explains how The Journey Within handles information when you visit this website or email us. Throughout this policy, “we” and “us” mean The Journey Within and Sam Scaggs.
The short version
- This website has no accounts or payment pages.
- We don’t use advertising or analytics tools on this website.
- If you email us or use our contact form, we use your message to reply and to talk with you about the journeys.
- We don’t sell your personal information.
Information you choose to send us
When you send a message through the contact form, it is delivered to us by Formspree, a form-processing service, which handles it under its Privacy Policy. The email links on this website open your own email app. Whether you use the form or email us, we receive your email address, your name, your phone number if you include it, the journey you choose, and anything you write in your message. Please don’t send sensitive information, such as account numbers or passwords, by email.
How we use your information
We use the information you send us to answer your questions, talk through which journey may fit your season, and keep a record of our conversation with you.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this one depends on outside services to reach your browser:
- Web hosting. The company that hosts this website may keep standard server logs, which can include your IP address, browser type, the pages you requested and the time of your visit.
- Google Fonts. This website loads its fonts from Google, so your browser sends your IP address and browser details to Google when a page loads. Google’s handling of this information is covered by its Privacy Policy.
The website assistant
The Journey Guide assistant answers from this website’s own content, inside your browser. What you type isn’t sent to us or anyone else, and it disappears when you leave or reload the page.
Cookies
This website does not set cookies of its own and does not use cookies to track you.
When we share information
We share information only as needed to run this website and our email, such as with our hosting, email and contact-form (Formspree) providers, or when the law requires it.
How long we keep information
We keep emails and contact-form messages only as long as we need them for the conversation and for our records. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we have about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing sam@eekm.org. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws.
Children
This website is intended for adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has emailed us, please let us know and we will delete the message.
Links to other websites
This website may link to other websites. Their own privacy policies apply when you visit them.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the effective date above.
