Your data.
Your trust.
Handled carefully.
You've already had enough taken from you without your knowledge. This page tells you exactly what information this platform collects, why, and what we do with it. No surprises.
If you've visited, signed up, or purchased — this covers you.
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of notafuckingcinderellastory.com, including anyone who signs up to receive emails, downloads a free guide, or purchases a product through this platform.
This platform is owned and operated by the founder of Not A Fucking Cinderella Story, based in South Africa. This policy is written in compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa, and with consideration of international standards including GDPR where applicable.
If you've given us your email address or bought something from us, this policy tells you what we know about you and what we do with it.
Only what we need. Nothing more.
We collect only the information necessary to deliver what you've asked for. This may include:
- Your name and email address — when you sign up for a free guide or join our mailing list via Flodesk
- Purchase information — name, email, and payment details when you buy a product (payment details are processed securely by our payment provider and never stored by us directly)
- Usage data — basic analytics about how visitors use the website, collected anonymously through Squarespace's built-in analytics
- Communications — if you email us directly, we retain that correspondence to respond to you
We do not collect sensitive personal information such as health data, identity numbers, or financial account details beyond what is required to process a purchase.
Your information serves you. Not advertisers.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes only:
- To deliver the free guide, product, or resource you requested
- To send you emails you signed up for — including our newsletter, new guides, and product updates
- To process and fulfil purchases
- To respond to questions or support requests you send us
- To understand how our content is being used so we can improve it
We will never sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it in any way that isn't directly connected to serving you through this platform.
You chose to be here. You can leave any time.
When you sign up for a free guide or join our mailing list, you are opting in to receive emails from Not A Fucking Cinderella Story. These emails may include your requested resource, follow-up content, and occasional information about paid products or services.
You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send. Once unsubscribed, we will not email you again unless you opt back in.
We use Flodesk to manage our email list. Your data is stored on Flodesk's secure servers in accordance with their own privacy policy. You can review Flodesk's privacy policy at flodesk.com.

Just like you will be.
