Privacy Policy.
Last updated August 2026 · Written by one person, for people.
The Sunday Ink is an independent personal blog written and maintained by Maya Carter, a writer and photographer based in Portland, Oregon. This site is a small, personal space for writing, photography, everyday observations, and things worth remembering. There is no editorial team or data department behind it — just one person writing and maintaining the site.
Some posts on The Sunday Ink may contain affiliate links. If you purchase something through one of these links, The Sunday Ink may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Any affiliate relationship is disclosed where appropriate. Affiliate relationships do not determine what is written or recommended. The opinions expressed on this site remain personal and independent.
The Sunday Ink collects only the information reasonably necessary to operate the site and communicate with readers. If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is used to send the newsletter you requested. If you contact the writer through the contact page, the information you provide is used to read and respond to your message. The site does not create reader profiles or sell personal information.
Like most websites, the hosting server may automatically record basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, and pages requested. This information is used for basic website operation, security, and understanding general website traffic. It is not intentionally used to identify individual readers.
The Sunday Ink may use essential cookies required for basic website functionality. If privacy-conscious analytics are enabled, they may collect general information such as page views and traffic patterns to help understand how the site is being used. The site does not intentionally use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting technology to build advertising profiles of readers.
Some posts may link to external websites, retailers, social networks, or other services. Once you leave The Sunday Ink, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Those websites have their own privacy practices and policies, which you should review independently.
The Sunday Ink may occasionally link to or embed content from services such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or other social platforms. These services may use cookies or collect information when their content is viewed or interacted with. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies. The Sunday Ink does not sell or create advertising profiles from information provided by these services.
If you choose to subscribe to The Sunday Ink newsletter, your email address is used to send the newsletter and related editorial updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every newsletter. You may also contact the writer if you want your email address removed from the newsletter list.
If you have provided personal information to The Sunday Ink and would like to access, correct, or delete it, you can make a request through the contact page. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe at any time. Privacy requests are handled personally rather than through an automated support department.
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided. Newsletter information may remain with the newsletter service while you are subscribed. Contact information may be retained when necessary to respond to or maintain correspondence. Information that is no longer needed may be deleted.
This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally as the site or its services change. Any meaningful changes will be reflected on this page with a revised last-updated date.
Questions about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, or how The Sunday Ink handles reader data can be sent through the contact page. This site is run by one person, so privacy questions are handled personally.
