Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 28, 2026 

Evolutionista respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently, and with care.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit evolutionista.com or interact with Evolutionista through the website, email communications, resource downloads, organizational inquiries, speaking or training inquiries, and related services.

Evolutionista is operated by Micha Star Liberty, doing business as Evolutionista. In this Privacy Policy, “Evolutionista,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the website operator identified above.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through:

• The Evolutionista website;
• Email subscription forms;
• Resource-download forms;
• Contact and inquiry forms;
• Speaking, training, book-club, and bulk-order inquiries;
• Communications sent directly to Evolutionista; and
• Cookies, analytics technologies, embedded content, and similar website tools.

This Privacy Policy does not govern information collected independently by third-party websites or services, including Amazon, YouTube, Vimeo, social media platforms, or other websites linked from Evolutionista.

2. A Note About Sensitive and Personal Information

Evolutionista addresses subjects involving sexual abuse, trauma, healing, advocacy, legal systems, and survivor experiences.

You are not required to disclose details about trauma, abuse, medical treatment, legal matters, or other sensitive experiences to access publicly available content, purchase the book through a third-party retailer, or subscribe to general Evolutionista communications.

Please do not submit confidential legal information, medical records, Social Security numbers, financial account information, or detailed case information through general website or email forms.

Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship with Micha Star Liberty, Liberty Law, or any attorney or law firm.

If you voluntarily provide sensitive personal information in an inquiry, we will use it only as reasonably necessary to review and respond to your communication, protect legal rights, comply with applicable law, or take another action you have requested.

3. Information We May Collect

• The subject and contents of your message;
• Information included in speaking, training, media, book-club, or bulk-order inquiries;
• Your communication and subscription preferences; and
• Any other information you voluntarily provide.

At present, purchases of Evolutionista are generally completed through third-party retailers such as Amazon. Evolutionista does not directly receive or process the payment-card information you submit to those retailers.

If Evolutionista later offers direct purchases, paid events, training, or other transactions, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Evolutionista generally would not retain complete payment-card numbers.

We may use this information to understand website traffic, improve website performance, maintain security, identify technical problems, and determine which resources are most useful to visitors.

Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from third parties when, for example:

• You interact with Evolutionista through a social media platform;
• You register for an event hosted with another organization;
• A professional organization contacts us about speaking or training;

5. Email Communications

You may choose to subscribe to receive Evolutionista newsletters, resources, book announcements, educational content, event information, and related communications.

When you subscribe, we may collect your email address, name, subscription date, and information about whether you open or interact with our emails.

You may unsubscribe from promotional communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us at mslmerchsales@gmail.com.

After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information necessary to honor your request and prevent future promotional messages from being sent to you. You may still receive non-promotional communications relating to a request, transaction, event registration, or inquiry you initiated.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. They may help the website function, remember preferences, measure website activity, improve performance, and protect against misuse.

Cookies used on the website may include:

Essential Cookies

These cookies support basic website functions, security, form submission, session management, and accessibility.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, how visitors reach the site, and whether technical problems occur.

Functional Cookies

These cookies may remember settings or support embedded content, videos, forms, or other website features.

Advertising or Social Media Technologies

Evolutionista does not currently intend to use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If advertising, retargeting, or social media tracking technologies are added, this Privacy Policy and the website’s cookie controls should be updated accordingly.

You may be able to control cookies through the website’s cookie banner or your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website features.

7. Embedded Videos and Third-Party Content

The website may contain videos or other content embedded from third-party services, including YouTube and Vimeo.

When you view or interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may collect information such as your IP address, device information, cookie identifiers, viewing activity, and interactions with the content. The third party may process that information according to its own privacy policy and account settings.

Where reasonably available, Evolutionista may use privacy-enhanced settings for embedded content, but we do not control all data practices of third-party providers.

8. External Links and Book Purchases

The website contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon and potentially media outlets, event websites, social media platforms, professional organizations, and other resources.

When you follow an external link, the third party may collect information directly from you. Purchases made through Amazon or another retailer are governed by that retailer’s terms and privacy practices.

Evolutionista does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

9. How We May Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

Service Providers

We may use service providers to assist with:

• Website hosting and maintenance;
• Website design and management;
• Email distribution;
• Form processing;
• Analytics;
• Cloud storage;
• Event registration;
• Customer or inquiry management;
• Cybersecurity;
• Professional consulting; and
• Other operational services.

Service providers are permitted to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by law.

Professional Advisers

Information may be disclosed to attorneys, accountants, insurers, consultants, or other professional advisers when reasonably necessary to obtain advice, comply with obligations, or protect legal rights.

Organizational Partners

When you register for or inquire about a jointly hosted event, training, webinar, speaking engagement, or book-club program, information may be disclosed to the relevant hosting or sponsoring organization as necessary to administer the program.

Legal and Safety Purposes

We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

If the website, brand, or related assets are reorganized, transferred, sold, merged, or acquired, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Evolutionista does not sell personal information for money.

Evolutionista does not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under applicable California law.

We may disclose information to service providers that perform services on our behalf, as described in this Privacy Policy. Such operational disclosures are not intended to constitute a sale of personal information.

If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required opt-out mechanisms.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this 

Privacy Policy, including to:

• Maintain subscription preferences;
• Respond to inquiries;
• Maintain business and communication records;
• Fulfill contractual obligations;
• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements;
• Resolve disputes;
• Prevent fraud or misuse; and
• Enforce agreements or protect legal rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal obligations.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, email transmission, storage system, or internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use care when deciding what information to submit online.

Because ordinary email and general website forms may not be encrypted in a manner appropriate for legal, medical, or highly sensitive information, please do not use them to send confidential records or detailed descriptions of abuse or trauma.

13. Children’s Privacy

The website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without legally valid parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us using the information below.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a legally protected privacy right.
