Cynthia Martin Online ("Cynthia Martin Online," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and transparently.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit the Cynthia Martin Online website, currently available at https://cynthiamartinonline.marblism.me, and when you contact us through the website.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Cynthia Martin Online website. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that you may access through links on our website, including TidyCal, Substack, or other external platforms. Those services maintain their own privacy policies.
