Newsletters:Confessions of a SAHM Site uses MailerLite as its e-mail service provider. MailerLite collects contact information, distributes our newsletter, and tracks actions you take that assist us in measuring the performance of the website and newsletters.

Our newsletters contain tracking pixels. This pixel is embedded in e-mails and allows us an analysis of the success of our newsletters. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an e-mail and which links within the e-mail you click. This behavior is not passed to third-parties. All data submitted at the time of subscription to our newsletter is stored on MailerLite’s servers. You may access Mailchimp’s privacy policy here. At any time, you may be removed from our newsletter list by clicking on the unsubscribe button provided in each e-mail.
We may also rely on a third-party service, PopupAlly, to service certain pop-up subscription boxes. Any information collected by PopupAlly is passed through directly to Mailchimp and is not stored by any party other than MailerLite.
