Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 18, 2025

Hi, I’m Carly 👋 Welcome to carlystrutt.com! I care about your privacy, and this policy is here to explain how I collect, use, and protect your personal information.

This website is owned and operated by me, Carly Strutt, in British Columbia, Canada, and follows BC’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). If you use this site, sign up for my offerings, or contact me, this policy applies to you.

  • Your name

  • Your email address

  • Payment info (handled securely via Podia or Stripe)

  • Responses to surveys or forms

  • Any information you choose to share (like in emails or messages)

I also use basic website tracking tools (like cookies) that may collect your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with my website.


2. How I Collect It

  • When you sign up for my newsletter or classes

  • When you make a purchase

I use trusted platforms like Podia and Stripe to keep your data secure. I also:

  • Don’t store sensitive info (like credit card numbers) myself

But just so you know: no internet transmission is ever 100% secure.

I don’t rent, sell, or trade your personal information. I only share your info with third-party tools I use to run this business, such as:

Each of these providers has their own privacy policies.
