A Gentle Guide to Our Terms, Privacy, Affiliations, and Use of Tools like Thistle AI

1. Welcome
Sweet Mytherie is a place of reverence, reflection, and soft rebellion — and with that comes a responsibility to honor your trust.

This page outlines the terms by which we offer our services, how we protect your privacy, and what to expect when you engage with our content, tools, and community spaces — including our AI companion, Thistle.

2. Privacy Policy
What We Collect:
- Your name and email (when you sign up or enroll)
- Payment info (processed securely by trusted third-party providers)
- Site usage insights (via privacy-conscious analytics)
- Occasionally, content or comments you voluntarily share in community spaces
We do not sell or share your personal information. Ever.
Why We Collect It:
- Deliver purchases, free downloads, and class content
- Share updates and offerings (only with your permission)
- Improve our offerings and platform experience
- Ensure platform safety and compliance
Your Rights (Especially Under GDPR & Other Global Standards):
- Access, update, or delete your personal data
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Request full data erasure
Reach out to us at [email protected], and we’ll honor your request swiftly.
Cookies:
We use minimal cookies for basic site functionality and preferences. No marketing cookies without explicit opt-in.

3. Terms of Service
What This Site Offers:
- Digital journals, workshops, and storytelling aids
- Invitations to reflect on thresholds like death, grief, identity, and sovereignty
- Occasionally, affiliate suggestions for thoughtfully chosen tools
This is not a medical, legal, or psychological service. All offerings are for personal insight, creative exploration, or organizational support.
User Responsibility:
- Use the materials for personal or professional development, not commercial reproduction
- Engage with others respectfully in community or course areas
- Refrain from attempting to harm, hack, or misuse any part of the platform
Refunds:
Digital products are non-refundable once downloaded, unless a technical issue on our side cannot be resolved. If something feels off, please email us — we genuinely want to make things right.

4. Use of Thistle AI
Thistle is our AI companion — a myth-minded assistant designed to help guide you through Sweet Mytherie’s tools, questions, and stories.
How Thistle Works:
- Thistle may suggest journaling prompts, offer reflections, or help you explore site materials
- She does not retain personal data across sessions
- Any input you provide is treated as ephemeral and anonymous unless you identify yourself
Thistle is not human, nor a substitute for professional support. She is an intuitive tool meant to stir insight, not to advise on health, safety, or legal decisions.
If you prefer not to engage with AI, you are welcome to explore the site without activating her.

5. Third-Party Platforms
Some courses, purchases, or downloads may be hosted on third-party platforms. These platforms process payments and manage delivery. When you use them, their Terms of Service and Privacy Policies also apply.
We trust and carefully choose these platforms, but we encourage you to read their specific policies, especially if you comment, share posts, or join community forums within those environments.
Your interaction in those spaces is governed by their rules in addition to our ethos.

6. Community Engagement & Comment Policy
Our blog, courses, and some site areas may invite reflection or conversation. When you participate:
- Be kind, respectful, and conscious of the sacred nature of these themes
- Do not post spam, hateful speech, or self-promotional material
- Remember that anything shared in public comment areas can be seen by others
We reserve the right to remove comments or revoke access if someone engages in harmful behavior.

7. Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosures
At times, Sweet Mytherie may recommend books, tools, or services. Some links may be affiliate-based — meaning we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We never promote anything we haven’t reviewed, used, or genuinely believe may serve our community. Transparency matters more than profit.
We currently receive no corporate sponsorships, pharmaceutical partnerships, or paid endorsements.

8. Children’s Privacy
Sweet Mytherie is not directed to children under 13. If we discover personal data from someone under that age, we will delete it promptly. Parents, feel free to reach out with any concerns.

9. Security & Data Stewardship
We work with encrypted payment processors and use best-practice security measures. That said, no online transmission is 100% secure — please use your discretion and do not share sensitive personal information in public spaces.

10. Questions or Concerns
If you have any questions about this policy, your data, or the way we operate, please reach out.
