Privacy Policy

Effective September 14, 2026.

Who we are

The Love Planet is operated by Michael Howell. For privacy questions or requests, contact hello@theloveplanet.me.

Early-access signup

We collect your email address, required first name, optional last name, and a record of your email permission. We use these details to manage your request, personalize messages, and send the Love Planet updates you asked for.

Your request remains pending until you confirm your email. We send a confirmation link and may send one reminder when your recorded permission includes it. Confirming adds you to the list, assigns your permanent early-access number, and triggers your welcome email. Pending requests are not enrolled in regular updates. Repeated submissions do not change existing email preferences.

Service providers and retention

Supabase stores signup information and Postmark delivers confirmation emails, reminders, welcome messages, and updates. Our hosting providers process requests to operate and protect the site. We retain signup and delivery records as needed to manage requests, provide updates, resolve problems, and honor your choices. We do not sell your signup information.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe through any email or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of your details. Please write from the address you used to sign up so we can verify your request. We retain a protected suppression record where needed to prevent unwanted resubscription. Email-provider acceptance does not guarantee inbox delivery.

Optional journey analytics

We use a random session cookie to measure visits, journey starts, progress, playback choices, pauses, restarts, and reaching the ending. The session cookie expires after 30 minutes without an analytics event. We record broad screen-size categories, not a device fingerprint. We do not attach your signup email to these observations.

For visitors our hosting provider identifies as being in the United States, these analytics start after we display a notice, unless you have opted out. Elsewhere, or when location is unavailable, analytics stay off until you choose to allow them. We use only the hosting provider’s country-level result for this decision; we do not request your device’s location or save your country in the analytics records. Closing the U.S. notice acknowledges it and does not record consent.

These observations do not record your screen, identify what you are thinking, or prove that you watched every moment. A visit ending without a recorded completion is an estimate of an unfinished journey. We use no advertising trackers.

Google Analytics — only with your permission

Google Analytics stays off until you explicitly choose Allow analytics in our privacy controls. An earlier choice about our own analytics does not enable Google. Declining Google does not prevent you from using the journey or joining the early-access list.

With permission, Google receives page visits, broad traffic sources, selected launch-campaign labels, journey starts and completion, and confirmation that a signup request was accepted. An accepted request is not a count of unique new subscribers or delivered emails. We do not send your name, email, form contents, subscriber identifiers, arbitrary URL parameters, or referrer paths to Google. Google also processes technical connection and browser information to provide its analytics service. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled.

Google’s analytics cookies are configured to expire after six months and may be renewed during a permitted visit. Choosing Turn off analytics in privacy preferences stops future Google collection and removes its analytics cookies from this site; it does not erase information already received by Google. See how Google uses information from partner sites.

You can refuse analytics and still use the journey and signup. Cookie preferences let you stop future collection at any time. We honor your browser’s Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal by leaving optional analytics off.

Remembering your choices

Separate preference cookies remember choices about our own analytics and Google Analytics for six months. A separate cookie remembers that you closed the U.S. notice for six months, without replacing your privacy choice. Local browser storage remembers whether you have entered or skipped the journey, so returning visits can open early access. You can replay the journey at any time or clear these preferences in your browser.

Delivering the site

Our hosting and database providers process technical requests to deliver and protect the site. The signup endpoint uses a short-lived, keyed digest of the network address to limit repeated requests; it does not store the raw address with your email or analytics. External links have their own privacy practices.
