The fine print, kept short

Privacy

This is a simple little site. There are no accounts, sign-ups, ads, or analytics, and it doesn't collect anything about you on its own. Here's the whole story, in plain words.

If you write to me

If you email me at tracy@tracylynnball.com, I'll have your email address and whatever you choose to write. I use it only to read and answer your note. The note form on the Say hello page doesn't send anything through this site: it just opens your own email app with your note filled in.

Outside services the site uses

• YouTube videos. The Pickles & Friends page shows videos from YouTube, and the homepage can play one when you choose to watch. Those videos load from YouTube (Google), which may set cookies or collect information under Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Fonts. The lettering comes from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com), so your browser fetches the font files from Google, which sees your IP address. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
• Hosting. The site is hosted by Vercel. Like most web hosts, Vercel keeps basic server logs, such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested, to keep the site running and secure. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy.
• Links to other sites. Links to YouTube, LinkedIn, and Push Button Trading take you to their sites, where their own privacy policies apply.

Made for families

My stories are made with families in mind, but this site isn't designed to collect information from children. Kids don't need to share anything to enjoy it. If a young one wants to write to me, I'd love for a grown-up to help.

No selling, ever

I don't sell, rent, or trade anyone's information.

Questions?

Just email me at tracy@tracylynnball.com, and I'll be happy to help.
