Privacy Policy
Last updated November 12, 2026
Who Needs Minions is a creative brand run by Bernadette M. Martinez in Colorado. This page explains what information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: I collect only what I need, I never sell it, and you can leave the list at any time.
What this site collects
- Newsletter sign-ups. When you subscribe, you give your first name (optional) and email address.
- Contact form messages. When you use the contact form, you give your name, email address and whatever you write in your message.
- Basic visit statistics. The site uses Jetpack Stats from WordPress.com to count visits and see which pages are popular. These statistics are reported in aggregate and are not used to identify you.
How it is used
- Newsletter information is used only to send you the newsletter and occasional updates about new books, journals and creative projects.
- Contact form messages are used only to reply to you.
- Visit statistics are used to understand what readers enjoy so I can make more of it.
I do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Services that help run the site
- Kit stores the newsletter list and sends the emails.
- Jetpack (WordPress.com) handles the contact form, site statistics and site security.
- Bluehost hosts the website.
Each of these services handles data under its own privacy policy. Shopping links on this site go to Amazon and Etsy, which have their own privacy policies; purchases happen on their sites, not here.
Your choices
- Every newsletter email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click removes you.
- You can ask me to show you, correct or delete the information I hold about you by sending a message through the contact page.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
