Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how marisadamore.com (“we,” “us,” or “this website”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit the website. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Who We Are

marisadamore.com is the personal website of Marisa D’Amore, sharing faith-based articles, Bible verses, devotionals, podcasts, and music. There are no user accounts or logins, and we do not sell products through this site. You can share information with us in two ways — leaving a comment on a blog post, or submitting one of our forms — and both are described below.

Information We Collect

We do not require you to provide any personal information to read this website. Information is collected only in the following ways:

Hosting and Security (Cloudflare)

This website is served by Cloudflare, our hosting and content delivery provider. To deliver the site quickly and protect it from abuse, Cloudflare processes standard technical information about each request, including:

  • Your IP address
  • Information about your browser, network, and device
  • The pages you request and timestamps

Cloudflare processes this data to operate and secure the website. You can read more in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and general (non-precise) location based on IP address. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize repeat visits.

Advertising (Mediavine)

This website uses Mediavine to manage the advertising on the site (Mediavine Privacy Policy). The following disclosure is provided by Mediavine and describes how its programmatic advertising works:

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.

Where consent is required by law (for example, in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), advertising and analytics cookies are off by default: our analytics runs in cookieless “consent mode” until you give consent, and on pages that show ads, Mediavine’s consent banner lets you accept or decline cookies and change your choices at any time. In U.S. states with opt-out rights, the consent tool and browser privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control let you opt out of targeted advertising.

Contact and Inquiry Forms

When you submit a form on this site — the Contact page, a speaking inquiry, or a guest-blog pitch — we collect the information you enter, such as your name, email address, and message, solely so we can read and respond to your inquiry. Submissions are stored in a private database hosted by Cloudflare and delivered to our email inbox by Formspree, our form processing provider (Formspree privacy policy). The forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which processes technical signals about your browser to tell people apart from bots. We do not use this information for marketing, and we do not sell it.

Blog Comments

You can comment on blog posts without creating an account. When you do, we collect the name, email address, comment text, and optional website link you enter. Your name, comment, and website link are shown publicly once the comment is approved; your email address is never published — it is used only for moderation. Comments are held for review before they appear on the site and are stored in a private database hosted by Cloudflare. The comment form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile (bot protection). To ask that a comment or the information in it be corrected or deleted, reach out through the Contact page.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This website uses:

  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — to measure site traffic and usage
  • Advertising cookies (Mediavine and its partners) — to serve and measure ads, including interest-based ads where permitted

The website itself does not set any other tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings; the site will continue to work normally.

Embedded Content

Some pages embed content from third-party services — for example, Spotify players for music and podcast episodes, and YouTube players for videos. When you view a page with embedded content, the third party may collect information about your visit (such as your IP address and interactions with the embed) under its own privacy policy:

Some posts contain affiliate links (including Amazon links). If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. See our Disclosure for details. Affiliate partners may use cookies to attribute purchases.

Email and Anti-Spam Policy

This website does not send email. We do not operate a newsletter or mailing list, and we never send marketing, bulk, or unsolicited messages of any kind. To make this verifiable, the marisadamore.com domain publishes a null SPF record (v=spf1 -all) and an enforcing DMARC policy (p=reject), which instruct receiving mail systems to reject all email claiming to come from this domain. Any message that appears to be sent from an @marisadamore.com address is forged, was not sent by us, and should be reported as spam.

We strictly prohibit the advertising or promotion of this website through unsolicited messages. No person or entity — including any affiliate, partner, or other third party — is authorized to promote marisadamore.com using unsolicited email (“spam”), unsolicited text or direct messages, or any other form of unsolicited bulk communication, and we do not pay for, request, or accept traffic generated that way. Any such message was not sent, authorized, or endorsed by us. If you receive spam that references this website, please report it to us through the Contact page so we can assist blocklist operators and enforcement efforts.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above only to:

  • Operate, secure, and improve the website
  • Understand which content is helpful to readers
  • Show advertising that supports the free content on this site
  • Respond to messages you send us

We do not sell your personal information. Advertising partners’ use of cookies for interest-based ads may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under some U.S. state privacy laws — the Mediavine Programmatic Advertising section above describes that data collection, and the consent tool and opt-out links give you control over it.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. The simplest summary for this website: we hold no personal information about you unless you have contacted us or left a comment — in which case your submission is stored in our private database (and form messages are also in our email inbox), and you can ask us to correct or delete it at any time via the Contact page.

For analytics and advertising cookies, use the opt-out links above or the consent banner where it appears.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Where the advertising consent tool recognizes browser privacy signals (such as Global Privacy Control), those preferences are honored. Beyond that, the website does not respond to Do Not Track headers.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the contact form, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest revision.
