Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 16, 2026
Thank you for visiting michellejeankim.com. I'm Michelle Jean Kim — a digital marketing strategist, keynote speaker, and content creator helping brands turn attention into trust. Based in the United States, I've grown a community of more than 370,000 engaged followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This website is where I share my work, my writing, and the ideas that shape how I approach digital strategy, brand storytelling, and intentional living.
Your privacy is something I take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains, in straightforward language, what information I collect when you visit this site, how I use it, and what choices you have. By continuing to use michellejeankim.com, you agree to the practices described here.
Information I Collect
Information comes to me in two ways:
What you share directly: When you submit a contact form, request a media kit, or send a collaboration inquiry, you may provide your name, email address, and details about your brand or project. I only ask for what I genuinely need to give you a helpful, timely response.
What is collected automatically: As you browse, this site collects basic technical data — such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, time spent on each page, and the referring site. None of this data is tied back to you as an individual. It helps me understand how people engage with my content so I can continue improving it.
How I Use Your Information
The information I collect serves a few specific purposes:
To respond to your messages, questions, and collaboration inquiries
To identify which content and topics resonate most with my audience
To maintain, secure, and improve this website's performance
To support site monetization by showing ads through vetted advertising platforms
Your personal information is never sold. It stays within the scope of this site alone — never handed off to third parties looking to market their own products or services to you.
Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
Ads on this site are served through Google AdSense, a third-party advertising program run by Google. To deliver these ads, Google places cookies on your device that track browsing behavior across this and other websites you've visited.
Google's DoubleClick cookie enables Google and its partners to deliver ads relevant to your interests, measure how ads perform, and manage ad frequency. The good news is that you are never locked into a one-size-fits-all ad experience — you have real options to shape what you see:
To opt out of personalized advertising, visit Google Ads Settings.
For a full breakdown of the data Google collects and how it's used, review the Google Privacy Policy.
To opt out of interest-based ads from other participating companies, visit aboutads.info.
Third-party advertisers may place cookies or web beacons on your browser to gather information as part of ad delivery on this site. The cookies these partners set are entirely outside my visibility and control.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
When you visit a website, your browser receives and stores tiny data files known as cookies. These files help the site recognize your device, hold onto your preferences, and build a general picture of how visitors move through the site.
On michellejeankim.com, cookies help keep the site functioning properly, give me insight into content performance, and allow advertising partners like Google to serve relevant ads. If you'd prefer to limit or turn off cookies, your browser settings give you full control to do so. Keep in mind that restricting cookies may impact how certain features on this site work for you.
Third-Party Links
Some of my blog posts and pages include links to external websites or resources that I believe you will find helpful. Once you click one of those links, you are on a site with its own privacy practices and terms. I am not responsible for the content, security, or data handling of any external website. I recommend reading the privacy policy of any site before providing personal information.
Data Security
Protecting the information you share with me is a responsibility I take to heart. I put thoughtful safeguards in place to guard against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of data collected through this site. While those protections are real and ongoing, the nature of the internet means that no system can offer a complete guarantee. What I can promise is that your information is always treated with the care and respect it deserves.
Children's Privacy
This website is designed for a general adult audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, please contact me right away, and I will remove it promptly.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy will grow alongside my website. As my content expands, new features are added, or data privacy expectations shift, I'll revisit and revise this page to keep it accurate and current. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects when the most recent changes were made. I recommend dropping back here every so often to see what, if anything, has changed. If you keep using michellejeankim.com after a revision goes live, that tells me you're comfortable with what's been updated.
