✦ Who I Am
This publication, A Hundred Ways to Be Held by the Rain, is run by me, Solena—a poet, ICU nurse, spiritual writer, and the chaotic protector of this grief-soaked sanctuary.
You can contact me directly at solenavyhra@gmail.com if you have any privacy concerns.
✦ What I Collect
When you subscribe, I collect:
Your email address
Your name (if you choose to share it)
Any payment info for paid subscriptions (handled securely through Substack/Stripe—not by me directly)
Optional: Any messages, comments, or replies you leave under posts or send via email
If you purchase a reading or personalized service (via Ko-fi, Etsy, or elsewhere), I may collect:
Basic info you voluntarily share (e.g., birthday, preferences, soul questions)
✦ What I Do With Your Info
Your information is used only to:
Send you email updates, posts, and exclusive content
Manage your paid subscription (if applicable)
Communicate with you when you reach out or request a custom service
Occasionally cry happy tears when you send kind feedback
I will never sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
(Seriously. Gross.)
✦ Cookies & Tracking
Substack uses cookies to understand how people interact with this publication.
I don’t personally track you. But Substack might collect anonymous analytics—things like:
How many people opened an email
What posts are getting clicked
Your general region (not your address)
You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies if you prefer.
✦ Third-Party Tools
This publication may link to or integrate with:
Substack (for email delivery, subscription management)
Ko-fi, Etsy, or similar platforms (for readings/products)
Occasionally, embedded tools like YouTube or Spotify
Those tools may collect their own data based on their policies. I don’t control that—so please check their terms if you're concerned.
✦ How You Can Control Your Info
You can:
Unsubscribe anytime (link is in every email)
Manage your Substack profile here
Request that I delete or anonymize any personal data you’ve shared with me (just email me)
✦ Kids? No.
This publication is not intended for children under 16. If you're here and you're that young—first of all, go read a comic book. Second of all, leave until you’re older. This space is emotionally intense and not designed for minors.
✦ Updates
I may update this privacy policy as needed. Major changes will be announced.

✦ Final Spell
Your trust is sacred. I honor your presence here.
No data-harvesting. No tracking shenanigans. Just rain, poetry, and mutual respect.
If you ever feel unsafe or overexposed, reach out. You are more than data. You’re human. And I see you.
