1. Information we collect

Information you provide. Our contact form asks for your name, email address, a topic, and your message. We receive the information you submit so we can handle your inquiry. Please avoid including passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.

Contact form processing. The custom form sends your submission to the website administrator by email. The form code does not create a separate database record containing your message. Copies can remain in email systems and, depending on the site’s configuration, delivery logs or backups.

Abuse prevention. The form uses your IP address to generate a hashed identifier for a temporary submission limit. After a successful submission, that limit is set to expire after one minute. The custom form does not include your IP address in the message email.

Technical information. Hosting, email, and security systems may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request times, and requested pages as part of delivering and protecting the website.

2. How information is used

• To receive, review, and respond to questions, feedback, corrections, and collaboration requests.
• To operate the website and troubleshoot technical problems.
• To prevent spam, misuse, and other security problems.
• To maintain relevant correspondence and address applicable legal obligations.

Submitting the contact form does not subscribe you to a newsletter.

3. Cookies and external content

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. WordPress and enabled website features may use cookies for functions such as authentication or remembering preferences. You can review, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking them may affect some features.

Articles may link to other websites. Following an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices. If a page includes embedded third-party content, such as a video, that provider may receive technical information when the content loads and may use cookies or similar technologies under its own policy.

4. Sharing information

Contact messages and technical information may be processed by providers supporting the website, including hosting and email providers, as needed to deliver those services.

Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law or when necessary to investigate abuse, respond to a valid legal request, or protect the website and its users.

Service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live.

5. Retention and security

Contact correspondence may remain in the administrator’s mailbox and associated email systems after an inquiry is resolved. Retention also depends on relevant provider settings, backups, and any applicable recordkeeping obligations. You can contact us to ask about a particular message or request its deletion.

No method of sending or storing information online can guarantee absolute security. Please send only the information needed to explain your question.

6. Your choices and privacy rights

You can choose whether to contact us and what information to include. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Some rights are subject to exceptions. You may also have the right to complain to a relevant data protection authority.

To make a privacy request, use our contact page and identify the information or correspondence involved. We may need to verify your identity before providing information or acting on a request. Please do not send identity documents unless a suitable verification method has been agreed.

7. Children’s privacy

My Simple Need publishes general-interest hobby information. If you believe a child has submitted personal information that should be removed, please contact us with enough detail to locate the submission.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the website or its information practices. Updates will appear on this page with a revised date.
