Living Path Thinking is built around reader trust. The site collects only the information needed to operate the site, deliver requested materials, understand basic usage, prevent abuse, and improve the writing and tools.
This English privacy page mirrors the current Chinese production policy in plain language. It is meant to be readable, not legal theater.
What we collect
If you submit an email address, name, or interest through a form, that information is used to send the material you requested and related Living Path updates.
Forms may also include technical metadata needed for abuse prevention, delivery, diagnostics, and basic operation.
Third-party tools
The site may use service providers for hosting, security, email delivery, analytics, forms, and automation. These providers process data so the project can operate; they are not used to sell reader data.
The site may collect basic analytics such as page views, referrers, device category, and interaction events. Preview tokens are scrubbed from analytics payloads before they are sent.
Unsubscribe
If you receive email updates, each email program should preserve a way to unsubscribe or stop future messages.
Unsubscribing from updates may not remove records needed for security, compliance, diagnostics, or operational history.
Contact
Questions about privacy can be sent through the current contact channel on the Chinese site or by replying to a Living Path email when the English email program is active.
The project will keep tightening the English privacy language as the English publishing system, newsletter, and reader tools mature.
