PRIVACY.

Your words deserve care.

Last updated: 19 October 2026

TODAY. ANYWAY. is run by Clare Lowe, trading as TODAY. ANYWAY. Clare is the controller responsible for the personal information described here. Contact hello@today-anyway.com with any privacy question or request.

This notice covers our website, RESET. QR experiences, submitted lines and letters, community email sign-ups and direct enquiries.

What we receive

If you send a line through Around Here, We… or upload a letter through On Its Way, we receive your words, any uploaded image, your sharing choices and the records needed to manage the submission. These may include a submission reference, dates and permission-change requests. Images may contain handwriting, identifying details or file metadata.

If you join the ANYWAY. WOMAN. email community, we receive your email address, any other details you choose to enter, and subscription and confirmation records. If you contact us directly, we receive your contact details and message.

Our service providers also process technical information needed to deliver and protect the website and forms, which can include IP addresses and browser information. Leaving your name off a contribution does not necessarily make everything received through a form anonymous.

Please leave names, contact details and identifying information about yourself and other people out of contributions. The submission forms are not intended for identifiable health information or other sensitive personal details. You can write privately in your book without sending anything to us.

Why we use it

We use submissions to receive and review contributions, record sharing choices, respond to requests and, where permission allows, share selected words. We use our legitimate interests in administering voluntary contributions, handling enquiries and keeping our services secure for the necessary review and administration of ordinary personal information. We consider the effect on your privacy and limit what we use.

We rely on your consent to publish contributions containing personal information in the places you select and to send community emails. We may also retain limited information where necessary to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. These grounds do not automatically authorise processing sensitive personal information.

Your words. Your choice.

Sending a line or letter does not automatically give us permission to publish it. The choices on the form you use determine where we may share it. A choice in this notice does not replace or expand those choices.

If you give no publication permission, the contribution stays with us for review and will not be published. We review contributions before sharing and do not publish your name. We remove identifying details before any publication; if we cannot make a contribution suitable for the intended use, we will not publish it.

With permission, your words or an excerpt may appear in the selected TODAY. ANYWAY. community experiences or emails, social posts, website, product snapshot, Etsy marketing or future book editions. Not every form necessarily offers every option. We do not turn submitted words into a customer review or endorsement.

You can withdraw permission for future use or ask to change it by emailing hello@today-anyway.com. Include your submission reference if one was provided. For Around Here submissions, the confirmation screen also lets you send a sharing-change request. A request is reviewed by us; it does not instantly change or remove published material.

We can remove online copies we control and stop future uses, but cannot recall copies already printed, downloaded or shared by others. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Community emails

Joining ANYWAY. WOMAN. is a separate, optional choice. Sending a line or letter does not subscribe you. MailerLite manages our sign-up and confirmation process, with double opt-in enabled. Community emails may include occasional TODAY. ANYWAY. news and letters or excerpts shared with the contributor’s permission.

You can unsubscribe using the link in our emails or contact us. We retain the minimum suppression information needed to respect your unsubscribe request.

Who helps us deliver this

We use Framer to host the website, Formspree to receive submissions and permission requests, and MailerLite to manage community subscriptions and emails. Namecheap Private Email processes our enquiries and submission notifications. These providers process information necessary for their services.

Where you permit public sharing, the selected content is disclosed to readers or the public through the channels you chose. Platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Etsy handle information under their own privacy notices. We do not sell your personal information.

International processing

Some providers may process information outside the UK, including in the United States.

Framer and MailerLite publish data-processing agreements that provide for standard contractual clauses with a UK Addendum where applicable. Namecheap publishes a data-processing addendum with international-transfer provisions. Formspree states that it hosts its services in the United States and relies on standard contractual clauses as a processor. These are the providers’ published arrangements; they do not mean that information stays in the UK.

For information about the safeguards applicable to your information, or to request a copy, contact hello@today-anyway.com. Provider information is available at https://www.framer.com/legal/data-processing-addendum, https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/data-processing-agreement, https://formspree.io/security/ and https://www.namecheap.com/legal/universal/data-processing-addendum/.

How long we keep information

Unused or unpublished submissions are deleted within 12 months of receipt. Selected contributions are kept while used with permission and reviewed annually. Routine enquiries are deleted within 24 months after resolution. Active community email subscription details are kept until you unsubscribe. After unsubscribe, we keep only the minimum information needed to honour that request. These periods apply to our uploads, Formspree records, email notification copies and working copies. We retain only the permission or withdrawal evidence necessary to manage continuing uses, respect restrictions or deal with a specific legal obligation or claim, and review that need annually.

Website technology

The site loads fonts, images and audio to deliver the pages and experiences. External services receive the technical information necessary to serve those requests.

Framer provides built-in website traffic analytics, which it describes as operating without cookies. This does not mean that all services embedded in the site are cookie-free. Our forms and external services can process technical information to deliver their features, prevent spam and protect against misuse. Your browser lets you manage cookies and site storage; blocking them may affect some features.

Email measurement

Our MailerLite account currently has email-open tracking enabled by default for campaigns and automations. This uses a small invisible image to report when an email is loaded and can associate that event with your subscription. It helps measure how emails are received, but a reported open is not reliable proof that you read an email. Google Analytics email-link tracking is disabled in our account defaults. Individual email settings may differ, and links can also be recorded by MailerLite where click tracking is enabled.

Permission to receive community emails is separate from any consent required for optional tracking. This notice does not itself obtain that consent. You can contact hello@today-anyway.com with questions about email measurement or unsubscribe at any time.

Your rights

Depending on the information and the reason we hold it, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or receive a portable copy of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. You can withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it. These rights have conditions and exceptions.

Email hello@today-anyway.com to make a request. We may need enough information to locate your submission and verify that a request relates to it. Please keep any reference you receive. We cannot always identify a contribution from a description alone.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK data protection regulator, at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/. We would welcome the opportunity to address your concern first, but you do not have to contact us before contacting the ICO.

Changes to this notice

We will update this page when our practices change and show the date of the latest revision. We will not treat a revised notice as permission for new uses of your contributions.
