Welcome to Be Present Not Perfect, operated by Monya Williams and located at monyawilliams.com. Your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:
- Leave a comment on a blog post
- Contact me through the website
- Purchase a book or other product
- Subscribe to emails or updates, if that option becomes available
- Participate in a promotion, survey, or other website feature
The information you provide may include your name, email address, mailing address, or any information you choose to include in a message or comment.
Please remember that comments posted on the blog may be visible to the public. For your protection, do not include private, medical, financial, or other sensitive information in a public comment.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit this website, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies. This may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Browser and device type

- Pages visited and time spent on the website

This information helps me understand how visitors use the website, improve its content and performance, prevent spam, and maintain website security.
Cookies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember visitor preferences, support essential website functions, analyze traffic, and improve the visitor experience.
You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. However, disabling cookies may prevent certain parts of the website from functioning properly.
Reader Comments
When visitors leave comments, the website may collect the information entered in the comment form, along with technical information used to identify and prevent spam.
Comments may be reviewed, edited, declined, or removed at my discretion, particularly if they contain spam, offensive material, personal attacks, private information, or content unrelated to the discussion.
If you use a profile image or avatar service, that service may receive information needed to determine whether an image is associated with your email address. Its handling of that information is governed by its own privacy policy.
Book Purchases
This website may contain links through which you can purchase my books. Purchases may be completed through an outside retailer, publisher, payment processor, or other third-party service.
Payment and order information submitted through those services is processed according to the third party’s own privacy policy and terms. Be Present Not Perfect does not directly store your complete credit or debit card information.
Affiliate Links
Some posts may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships will be disclosed clearly within or near the applicable content. Including an affiliate link does not guarantee or endorse the privacy or security practices of the outside website.

- Operate and maintain the website
- Respond to messages, questions, or comments
- Process or help facilitate purchases
- Improve website content and visitor experience
- Understand website traffic and usage
- Detect spam, fraud, or security concerns
- Send updates when you have requested them

I will not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with service providers only when reasonably necessary to operate the website, process purchases, prevent spam, provide analytics, or comply with the law.
Third-Party Services and Links
This website may use or link to services operated by other companies, including website hosting providers, analytics services, spam-prevention tools, social media platforms, publishers, booksellers, payment processors, and affiliate partners.
Once you leave this website or use a third-party service, its own privacy policy and terms apply. I am not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of outside websites or services.
Data Retention
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service, maintain website records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, or protect the website from fraud and misuse.

Children’s Privacy
Be Present Not Perfect is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under the age of thirteen. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen.
If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this website, please contact me so that the information can be reviewed and deleted when appropriate.
