At ShiftYourLight.com, we respect your privacy and believe in being transparent about how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit our website.
This Privacy Policy explains our information practices, including how third-party services may process information when you interact with our content.
1. About Our Website
ShiftYourLight.com is an independent informational and affiliate marketing website focused on personal growth, digital tools, online opportunities, and educational resources.
We publish articles, reviews, videos, and promotional content about products and services offered by independent third-party vendors.
Website: https://www.shiftyourlight.com
2. Information We Collect
We do not require visitors to create accounts, register for memberships, or subscribe to mailing lists to access our content.
We do not intentionally collect personal information for email marketing.
However, certain information may be collected when visitors contact us or interact with our website.
Contact Form Information
When you use our Contact page, you may provide:
- Your name
- Your email address
- A subject
- Your message
This information is used to review and respond to your inquiry, communicate with you when necessary, and address legitimate website-related concerns.
Our contact form uses Contact Form 7, which generally delivers submissions by email. We do not currently use a dedicated form-submission storage plugin to intentionally maintain a separate database of these messages.
Messages and related information may nevertheless be retained by our email provider, hosting infrastructure, or other services involved in delivering communications.
We do not sell contact information or use contact form submissions to create marketing mailing lists.
3. Technical Information and Website Hosting
Our website operates using WordPress and is hosted by DreamHost.
When you visit the website, hosting providers, security systems, and related technologies may automatically process certain technical information, including:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Browser type and device information
- Pages requested and access times
- Referring website information
- Technical logs necessary for website operation, security, and troubleshooting
Such information may be processed to maintain website functionality, prevent abuse, investigate technical problems, and support security.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files that websites and online services may store on your device.
Although we do not currently use Google Analytics, cookies or similar technologies may be used by WordPress, hosting services, embedded content providers, or other third-party features operating on the website.
These technologies may support website functionality, security, preferences, or third-party content.
You can manage or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.
5. Embedded Videos and Third-Party Content
Our articles may include embedded videos, images, or other content hosted by third-party websites, including YouTube.
Embedded content may behave similarly to visiting the third-party provider’s website directly.
These providers may collect technical information, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own privacy policies.
ShiftYourLight.com does not control the independent privacy practices of these third-party services.
We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of any external platforms they use.
6. Social Sharing Features
ShiftYourLight.com provides social media sharing buttons through the Simple Share Buttons Adder plugin, allowing visitors to share articles and other content through third-party platforms.
When visitors choose to use these features, they may be redirected to external social media services, such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Pinterest, X, LinkedIn, or other supported platforms.
These services may collect information, use cookies, or process interactions according to their respective privacy policies.
We do not intentionally collect personal information through our social sharing buttons. However, the operation of these features may involve third-party services outside our direct control.
7. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Websites
ShiftYourLight.com participates in affiliate marketing and may earn commissions when visitors make qualifying purchases through affiliate links, at no additional cost to the purchaser.
Clicking an affiliate link may redirect you to an independent vendor’s website.
Affiliate networks and vendors may use cookies, referral identifiers, or other tracking technologies to recognize referrals and attribute qualifying transactions.
We do not directly process payments, fulfill purchases, or control the personal information collected by third-party vendors through their websites.
Purchases, payment information, refunds, and customer service matters are handled by the respective vendors under their own terms and privacy policies.
8. Advertising and Google AdSense
ShiftYourLight.com may display advertisements through third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, in the future.
At the time of this policy’s publication, Google AdSense advertising is not active on our website.
If advertising services are activated, those providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure performance, or support other advertising functions in accordance with their policies.
We will review and update this Privacy Policy and implement any applicable privacy notices or consent mechanisms when advertising services are introduced.

Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, email delivery, security, and other necessary operations.
Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or integrity of the website.
Third-party websites, affiliate networks, and embedded content providers operate under their own privacy practices.
11. Data Retention
Contact inquiries may remain in our email records for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to messages, maintain relevant correspondence, resolve concerns, or meet applicable obligations.
Technical records maintained by hosting and other service providers may be retained according to their operational practices and retention policies.
