Privacy, on the porch.

Last updated October 28, 2026.

The Buttered Porch is run by Diane Whiddon. This notice explains what happens to information you share here.

Porch Letters

When you join Porch Letters, the website saves your email address, signup date, signup source and the country reported by the hosting service. These records let us manage the list and send the letters and updates you requested. Authorized site operators can access or export the signup list for that purpose.

Keeping the form working

Our hosting and spam-protection services process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details and request times. The signup form uses temporary IP-based rate limits and a security check. Security services may use necessary browser storage or cookies.

Services and shop links

Hosting, storage, security and email providers handle information needed for those functions. We do not sell the Porch Letters list or share it with others for their own marketing. If you follow a shop link and buy from an outside retailer, that retailer handles your order and payment under its own policies.

Your choices

To stop Porch Letters, correct your email address, ask what we hold or request deletion, email diane@swayrisecreative.com. Include the email address you used to sign up.

Signup records support the mailing list and its administration. A limited record of an unsubscribe request may remain to prevent unwanted delivery or meet legal obligations. Removing active records may not immediately remove copies in correspondence or service backups. You can ask what remains and why.

Security and changes

Access controls and service safeguards help protect information; no online service can guarantee complete security. The date above identifies updates to this notice. A notice update does not by itself authorize a new use of information collected under an earlier promise.
