Welcome to Hey Life, WTF!
Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Hey Life, WTF! ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit our website at https://heylifewtf.com.
Our website features personal stories, lifestyle content, product recommendations, affiliate links, creative resources, and digital products.

We are committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.
Website Brand: Hey Life, WTF!
Privacy Inquiries: Contact options and current form availability are listed at https://heylifewtf.com/contact.
2. Information We Collect
Contact Us Form
The contact form asks for your name, email address, and message. Email delivery is not yet enabled. Attempts submitted while delivery is unavailable are not forwarded to an inbox or retained as contact inquiries. When delivery is enabled, this information will be used to receive, review, and respond to your inquiry, not to enroll you in marketing emails.
The hosting infrastructure processes technical connection information, including IP addresses and browser information. The form endpoint checks submitted fields and returns an unavailable response while delivery is disabled. It does not save your name, email address, or message in the website database.
Public Comments and Music Requests
Names or display names, comments, song requests, posting times, and likes are stored to operate public interactions. Your display name and submitted public content may be visible to other visitors. Please do not include sensitive information in a public comment.
Visitor Statistics
Our own analytics records visited pages, Etsy-link clicks, a random session identifier, broad device category, and referral source or campaign label. These analytics records do not include names, email addresses, raw IP addresses, full referrer URLs, or search queries. Hosting and embedded third-party services may separately process technical connection data under their own policies.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may process personal information to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website
- Respond to contact form inquiries, provide requested assistance, and handle privacy or other requests
- Manage comments and community interactions
- Understand website traffic and content performance
- Provide requested resources or communications
- Monitor security and prevent misuse
- Support affiliate attribution and advertising where applicable
- Fulfill applicable legal obligations
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, processing may rely on your consent, our legitimate interests in operating the website, the performance of a requested service or agreement, or compliance with legal obligations.
Contact form submissions do not automatically enroll visitors in newsletters or marketing emails. Where consent is required, it must be obtained before the relevant processing is enabled.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website and integrated third-party services may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
These technologies may support:
Essential Functionality: Maintaining website features, security, and basic operation.
Analytics: Understanding how visitors interact with website content.
Affiliate Tracking: Allowing affiliate partners to determine whether a purchase or action resulted from a referral link.
Embedded Content: Enabling third-party media, including videos, social content, or music players, where available.
Advertising: Supporting ad delivery, measurement, and personalization if advertising services are enabled.
You may manage cookies through your browser settings. Guest identifiers for comments and likes may last up to one year. Our analytics uses browser-tab session storage and renews sessions after 30 minutes of inactivity. To exclude this browser from our own visitor statistics, visit https://heylifewtf.com/analytics/exclude. This preference lasts up to one year and is removed if you clear cookies. Our analytics also respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. These controls do not automatically change third-party tracking preferences.
Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality. Where applicable law requires consent for nonessential cookies or similar technologies, those technologies should only be used after the required consent has been obtained.
5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
Google AdSense code is included on this website. The following describes advertising processing when that service operates; inclusion of the code does not mean that advertising approval has been granted.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor's previous visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to display advertisements based on visits to our website and other websites across the internet.
Advertising partners may also use IP addresses, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information for advertising, measurement, and related purposes.
Visitors can learn more about Google's advertising practices and manage personalized advertising through:

Advertising partners operate under their own privacy policies. Where other advertising networks are enabled, information about those partners and available privacy choices will be provided as required.
6. Affiliate Links and Product Recommendations
Hey Life, WTF! participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Associates Program.
Some articles, product recommendations, images, and links may direct visitors to third-party websites.
When you click an affiliate link, the relevant affiliate platform may use cookies or other tracking methods to attribute qualifying purchases or actions.
We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases without additional cost to you.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Affiliate websites operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies and tracking practices.
Please review those policies before providing personal information or completing purchases.
7. Digital Products and Third-Party Shopping Platforms
Our website may showcase digital products, journals, printable resources, merchandise, and other items available through external shopping platforms such as Etsy.
When you follow a product link and complete a purchase on an external platform, that platform processes information according to its own privacy policies and terms.
We do not directly collect payment card information through our website for purchases completed on external platforms.
As a seller, we may receive certain order or customer details from a shopping platform when necessary to fulfill orders, provide support, or meet legal obligations.
8. Social Media and Embedded Content
Our website may include content, links, or embedded services from platforms such as:
- TikTok
- YouTube
- Spotify
Embedded content may allow these services to collect technical information, place cookies, or record interactions in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Following links to external platforms means you are subject to those platforms' privacy practices.
Hey Life, WTF! does not control how independent third-party services process information.
9. Sharing of Information
The website uses ChatGPT Sites and Cloudflare infrastructure to deliver pages and process website requests. Embedded media, advertising providers, affiliate platforms, and external shopping services may separately process information under their own privacy policies.
Contact-form email delivery is not yet connected, so form inquiries are not currently forwarded to an email provider. This policy will be updated with the delivery provider and relevant processing details when sending is enabled. If you contact us through Instagram or Etsy instead, that platform processes your message under its own policy.
Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law, valid legal process, or to protect legitimate rights and security interests.
10. Data Storage, Retention, and Security
Website requests use HTTPS. The contact form validates required fields and limits message size. While email delivery is disabled, submitted inquiry content is not retained in the site database or delivered to a mailbox. Technical hosting logs may be processed under the hosting provider’s practices.
Public comments remain until removed. Our own analytics removes records older than 90 days when new events are processed. Guest cookies for comments and likes may last up to one year. Messages sent through external contact platforms are held under those platforms’ settings and policies.
Access to private owner features is restricted. No electronic transmission or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Hosting and other service providers may process information outside your country of residence.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to:
- Request information about how your personal data is processed
- Access personal information held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information

We do not intentionally solicit personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian authorization where required by law.
