Privacy Policy

Written in plain English – because who has the time or energy for legalese?

Last updated: 1 May 2025

TL;DR:

We’re doing the bare minimum required to function on the internet without getting sued.

We’re not here to steal your identity. We just want to send you the thing you asked for without breaking the internet (or the law). No shady data deals. No weird tracking. Just minimal chaos.

1. Who we are

We’re Ugh, Social providing strategic-ish support with a side of sarcasm for people who despise content strategy. Our website is ugh-social.com, and you can reach us at: ugh@ugh-social.com if something feels off.

2. What we collect (and why)

Stuff you give us

Name and email (when you fill in a form, download a freebie, or politely ask for things)
We use it to:
- Send you what you signed up for
- Occasionally email you helpful or slightly sarcastic content
- Avoid annoying you with things you didn’t ask for

Stuff we auto-collect

IP address, device type, browser type, what pages you visit (standard stuff)
We use tools like Google Analytics or similar to see what’s working, what’s flopping and where people are rage-quitting

This helps us improve the site and survive the algorithm apocalypse.

Cookies (Yes, even here)

Not the delicious kind. Just digital crumbs that help the website run better
We use cookies to:
- Improve site functionality
- Track site performance
- Avoid showing you the same pop-up 47 times

You can always block or delete cookies in your browser settings if you like living on the edge. But the site might act a bit weird without them.

3. What we don't do

We do not sell, rent, trade or sacrifice your info to the algorithm gods or randos*
We do not stalk you across the web. We leave that to your ex 👀
We do not pretend we’re collecting your data “to serve you better” while secretly selling it to 17 ad networks

* If we work with trusted third-party tools (like email platforms or analytics), they only get what they need to function, and they’re bound by strict privacy rules too.

4. Why we even collect this stuff

So this website works. So we know what’s useful. So we can improve what you get without asking you to fill our a 27-question survey.

We only collect what’s needed to:

Send you the thing you signed up for
Keep the site from crashing
Track basic analytics aka improve what we offer
Make the experience suck a little less

5. Your rights (yes, you still have those)

If you’re in the EU or UK, the GDPR says you have rights, and we respect them. That includes:

The right to access your data
The right to correct it
The right to delete it
The right to withdraw consent at any time
The right to roll your eyes while reading privacy policies (okay, that one’s unofficial)

To do any of that, email us at sendhelp@ugh-social.com and we’ll handle it. No forms. No robots. No drama.

6. How we store your data

Your info is stored securely via our website platform and email provider. We only keep it for as long as necessary. Then it disappears like your motivation on a Monday.

7. Updates to this policy

We might change this from time to time. Not to be sneaky – just to stay legally correct or fix things we forgot. When we do, we’ll post it here. If it’s a big change, we’ll actually tell you. You won’t need a law degree to understand it.

8. Contact us
