Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Jo Coddington (“Jo,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit jocoddington.com (the “Site”) or contact us about sponsored posts, brand partnerships, appearances or speaking. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you fill out the booking form on our Contact page or email us, we collect what you choose to share, such as:
- Your name, email address and phone number
- Your company, brand or event name
- The service you’re interested in, your event date and your message
If you book a paid service, we also keep records of the booking, such as the package, dates, script approvals and payment status.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, some information is collected automatically:
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site, including pages viewed, time on the Site, the website that referred you, your general location (city or region), and your device and browser type. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider automatically records technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the date and time of your visit. This is used for security and to keep the Site running.
- Spam protection. Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA to tell real people from bots. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and browser data, and sends it to Google for analysis. Its use is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
- Cookies. The Site uses cookies to make it work properly, to remember preferences, and for analytics. See “Cookies and your choices” below.
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages include content from other sites, such as YouTube videos and links to Facebook. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you had visited the other site. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged in to them.
How we use your information
- To answer your questions and booking requests
- To plan, deliver and report on sponsored posts, appearances and speaking engagements
- To send quotes, invoices and payment reminders
- To understand how the Site is used and improve it
- To protect the Site against spam, fraud and abuse
- To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations
We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t share it with others for their own marketing.
How we share information
We share information only as needed to run the Site and our business:
- Service providers that help us operate, including our website and email host (Hostinger) analytics and spam-protection provider (Google). They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- Payment services. If you pay by Venmo, Venmo processes the payment under its own privacy policy. We never see or store your card or bank account numbers. We only see the payment amount, name and note.
- Legal reasons. If required by law, or to protect our rights, safety or property, or the rights and safety of others.
- With your permission in any other case.
Cookies and your choices
You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. If you do, parts of the Site may not work as intended. To stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits on any website, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can learn how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
How long we keep information
We keep booking requests and messages for as long as needed to respond and to manage any work we do together. Business and payment records are kept for as long as required for tax and accounting purposes. Analytics data is kept according to our Google Analytics retention settings.
How we protect information
The Site uses HTTPS encryption, and we take reasonable steps to protect your information. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we have about you
- Ask us to correct or delete it
- Opt out of certain uses of your information
California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete and correct personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for using these rights. As stated above, we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To make a request, email jo@jocoddington.com. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on it.
Children’s privacy
The Site is meant for adults and businesses. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other websites
The Site links to other websites, including Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Amazon, Coddington Speed Shop and BoydCoddington.com. We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so please read their privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the effective date at the top of this page. Using the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
