This is the part of most websites where the text gets tiny and the language gets strange and you stop reading. That's not what's happening here.

Here's what actually goes on with your information when you visit this site.

What this site is

Thoughts at 2AM is a blog and newsletter about nighttime overthinking, sleep anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. It also sells digital products designed to help you get through hard nights — things like journal prompt packs, calm kits, and nighttime reset guides. Some pages and posts may also include affiliate links, which means a small commission may be earned if you purchase something through one of those links, at no extra cost to you.

Information collected automatically

When you visit, some basic data is collected automatically — your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on them. This is used to understand how the site is working, not to identify you personally.

If this site uses a tool like Google Analytics, that tool operates under its own privacy terms. You can opt out anytime using Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Information you give directly

Personal information is only collected when you choose to share it. That happens in two situations: when you sign up for The 2AM Letter, and when you make a purchase.

For the newsletter, only your email address is needed. For purchases, your name, email, and payment details are collected through a secure third-party payment processor. Payment information is handled entirely by that processor — it's never stored here directly.

Your information is never sold. It's never shared with other companies for their own marketing.

Affiliate links

Some posts and pages on this site contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, a small commission may be earned. This doesn't change the price you pay, and it doesn't change which products get recommended. Only things that genuinely fit the Thoughts at 2AM reader get linked here.

Cookies

This site may use cookies to help it function and track basic analytics. You can turn these off in your browser settings if you'd prefer. The site should still work fine.

Third-party links

Some posts link out to other websites. Once you leave this site, this policy no longer applies. Those sites have their own terms worth checking.

Email and unsubscribing

Every email from The 2AM Letter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it and you're done. If you have trouble, reach out through the contact page.

Children's privacy

This site isn't intended for anyone under 18, and no information is knowingly collected from children under that age.

Changes to this policy

If anything meaningful changes, the date at the top of this page gets updated. Big changes will be noted in The 2AM Letter.
