Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 18, 2026
Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with our services.
1. Information We Collect and Why We Collect It
Newsletter Subscriptions (WPForms)
When you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name and email address through WPForms.
- Data Minimization: To protect your privacy, we have disabled entry tracking behind the scenes. We do not store your IP address or browser User Agent details upon form submission.
- Purpose: This information is used strictly to send you newsletter updates, book releases, and giveaways. We do not send excessive email volumes or spam.
Security and Spam Protection (Google reCAPTCHA)
We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our website and subscription forms from spam and automated abuse. This service analyzes browser behavior and device indicators to verify human interaction. It deploys a strictly necessary _GRECAPTCHA cookie to perform essential risk analysis.
Advertising and Performance Tracking
Our website utilizes Google for WooCommerce (to sync with Google’s network and track conversion attributions) and the Facebook Pixel (to deliver relevant marketing and track site traffic).
2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Compliance)
We process your personal data based strictly on your Explicit Consent. You grant this consent by actively checking the mandatory agreement box on our newsletter form before submitting your email.
In accordance with strict European privacy regulations, our site operates in a mandatory Opt-in Mode. All marketing and tracking scripts (such as the Facebook Pixel) are completely blocked and frozen by default. They will not track you or drop browser cookies unless you explicitly click Accept All on our cookie consent banner.
If you choose to click Reject on our banner:
- Ads Data Redaction is automatically enforced. Google ad measurement is safely routed through cookieless domains.
- All advertising identifiers and ad-click IDs are completely stripped from network requests to preserve your anonymity.
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. To operate our website and distribute our newsletter, we securely share data with the following essential third-party data processors:
- Our Email Marketing Service: We transfer and store your email address using our connected newsletter platform, Mailchimp, exclusively to distribute our updates.
- Our Web Hosting Provider: Our website files and secure server infrastructure are maintained by Bluehost.
We retain your newsletter subscription records indefinitely until you choose to opt out.
5. Your Legal Rights (Right to be Forgotten)
If you are located in the EU, UK, or under specific US state privacy laws, you possess the following legal rights regarding your personal information:
- The right to request access to the data we hold about you.
- The right to request immediate correction or total deletion of your personal data.
You can exercise these rights instantly at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of any newsletter email we send, or by contacting us directly via email.
