Last Updated: 12/8/2025
Introduction
Welcome to Thira ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with care. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning your data. This policy applies to all visitors and users of our website.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways:
- Information You Provide to Us: This includes information you voluntarily submit. For example, when you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send. If you leave comments on blog posts or create a user account (where applicable), we will also collect the information you provide in those forms.
- Information Collected Automatically: Like most websites, we may collect information automatically as you navigate the site, such as your IP address, browser type, and general location. This is typically done through server logs and cookies to help us understand how our website is used and to improve your experience.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To Operate and Maintain Our Website: To ensure the site functions correctly and to provide you with content.
- To Respond to Your Inquiries: We use the information from the contact form to respond to your messages and provide support. Your submissions are sent to a Google Sheet for organizational purposes.
- To Foster Community: To allow you to comment on blog posts and interact with other users (where applicable).
- To Improve Our Services: By analyzing how you use our site, we can identify areas for improvement and create more relevant content.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:
- With Service Providers: We use third-party services to operate our website. For example, your contact form submissions are processed and stored in Google Sheets. We also use Firebase for backend services like our blog database and user authentication. These service providers have their own privacy policies and are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a law enforcement or governmental authority.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet-based site can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain the information you provide us for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. For example, we will keep contact form submissions for a reasonable period to ensure we can address your inquiry and for our records.

You have certain rights regarding your personal information. Depending on your location, these may include the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request that we correct any inaccurate information.
- Request that we delete your personal information.
