Email signups
When you request the free kit, we store your email address (and your first name, if you give it) in our email tool, MailPoet, which runs on this website. We use it only to send you the kit and our weekly case-file email. We never sell, rent or share your address. Every email has an unsubscribe link; you can also ask us to delete your data at any time.
Videos
Episode pages embed videos from YouTube using its privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube may set cookies once you press play. See Google’s privacy policy for details.
Cookies and analytics
This site uses only the cookies WordPress needs to work. If we add privacy-friendly visitor statistics in the future, this page will say so.
Affiliate links
Some pages may recommend products that protect against scams. If a link is an affiliate link, we will say so next to it; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend what we would tell our own family to use.
