Privacy Policy

Effective: November 11, 2026

Thanks for being here. This page explains, in plain language, what information we collect through katimorton.com and through our internal YouTube tool, how we use it, and the choices you have. "We," "us," and "our" mean Kati Morton and Happyable Inc., which runs this website.

The short version

  • We collect only what we need to run the site, fulfill orders, and send updates you sign up for.
  • We don't sell your personal information.
  • You can ask us to see or delete your information any time at assistant@katimorton.com.

Our YouTube Optimizer tool (Google user data)

YouTube Optimizer is a private, internal tool we built to help manage Kati Morton's own YouTube channels (the main Kati Morton channel and Ask Kati Anything). It is used only by Kati and a member of Kati's team. It is not offered to the public.

What it accesses. When Kati or a member of Kati's team signs in with Google (Google OAuth), the tool uses the YouTube Data API, YouTube Analytics API, and YouTube Reporting API to access:

  • YouTube channel information for Kati's own channels
  • Video details such as titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails
  • YouTube Analytics and Reporting data for those channels (for example, views and watch time)

How it's used. Only to manage and improve Kati's own channels: reading performance data and updating video titles, descriptions, and similar details. We don't use it to access anyone else's channel or account.

What we don't do.

  • We don't sell this data.
  • We don't share it with third parties, except as needed to run the tool (for example, the hosting service it runs on) or when required by law.
  • We don't use it for advertising, and we don't use it to build profiles of viewers.
  • People don't read this data except Kati and her team while doing the work above, or when needed for security, to comply with the law, or with the account owner's permission.

Storage and security. We keep this data only as long as we need it to manage the channels, and delete it when it's no longer needed. Access is limited to Kati and her team, and we use reasonable security measures to protect sign-in tokens and data.

Revoking access. You can remove YouTube Optimizer's access to a Google account at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Google's policies. YouTube Optimizer's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The tool uses YouTube API Services, so the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy also apply.

Information you share with us on the website

Email. If you email us (for example, about an order or a website question), we receive your name, email address, and whatever you write. We use it only to reply and help you.

Newsletter. Our newsletter signup is powered by Substack. When you subscribe, Substack collects your email address and handles delivery under its own privacy policy. You can unsubscribe any time with the link at the bottom of any email.

Shop orders and downloads. Our shop (workshops and downloadable workbooks) runs on Squarespace Commerce. To complete an order we collect details like your name, email, and billing information. Payments are processed by Stripe. We don't see or store your full card number. We use your order details to deliver your purchase, send receipts, and answer questions about your order.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Our website platform, Squarespace, uses cookies to keep the site working (for example, your shopping cart) and to give us basic visitor statistics, like which pages are popular.

We also use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which tells Meta when someone visits our pages. That helps us understand and measure our outreach on Meta's platforms. Meta may receive information such as your browser, device, and the pages you visited. You can manage this in your Meta ad preferences and through your browser's cookie settings.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Some parts of the site, like the cart, may not work without them.

Embedded content

Some pages include content from other services, such as YouTube videos, a Spotify podcast player, and a Substack signup box. These services may set their own cookies and collect information when you view or interact with them, under their own privacy policies.

Affiliate links

Some links to books and products are affiliate links, including links through Geniuslink (geni.us) that lead to Amazon and other retailers. As an Amazon Associate, Kati earns from qualifying purchases. This costs you nothing extra. Those retailers may use cookies to track the referral.

Links to other sites

We link to sites we don't control, such as social media, retailers, and podcast apps. Their privacy practices are their own, so please check their policies.

Your choices

  • Unsubscribe from the newsletter with the link in any email.
  • Ask us to see, correct, or delete the personal information we have about you by emailing assistant@katimorton.com. We'll respond within a reasonable time. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local law, and we'll honor them.

Children's privacy

This site isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has shared information with us, email us and we'll delete it.

A note about mental health

Kati's content is educational and isn't therapy or a substitute for care from your own provider. Please don't send private health details through email or the website. If you're in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we'll post the new version here and change the effective date above.
