Privacy Policy
Hey there! I'm Aaliyah, and I want to be completely transparent about how I handle your information. This isn't one of those scary legal documents written by robots – it's just me explaining how I protect your privacy while running my little book business.
What Information I Collect
When you order a book from me, I need some basic info to get it to you: your name, email address, and shipping address. If you contact me through the contact page, I'll have whatever you choose to share with me in your message.
I also use some standard web analytics to understand how people use my site – things like which pages are popular and where visitors come from. This helps me make the site better, but it's all anonymous data.
How I Use Your Information
Pretty straightforward stuff here:
- To process and ship your book orders
- To send you updates about your order (like tracking info)
- To respond to your messages if you contact me
- To improve my website and understand what readers want
I won't spam you with marketing emails unless you specifically ask for updates about new books or projects. And even then, you can unsubscribe anytime.
Who I Share Information With
I work with a few trusted partners to run this operation:
- PayPal - They handle all the payment processing securely
- Shipping companies - They need your address to deliver your books
- My web hosting service - They keep this website running
That's it. I don't sell your information to marketers, data brokers, or anyone else. Your privacy isn't for sale.
Keeping Your Information Safe
I take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information. The website uses secure connections (that's what the little lock icon in your browser means), and I only work with reputable service providers who also prioritize security.
That said, no system is 100% secure, and I can't guarantee absolute protection. But I promise to be responsible with your information and notify you if anything ever goes wrong.
Your Rights
You have control over your information:
- You can ask me what information I have about you
- You can request that I correct any mistakes
- You can ask me to delete your information (though I might need to keep some records for legal or business reasons)
- You can opt out of any communications from me
Just reach out to me if you want to exercise any of these rights.
Changes to This Policy
If I need to update this privacy policy, I'll post the changes here and update the date below. For major changes, I'll try to give you a heads up via email if I have your contact information.
Questions?
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how I handle your information, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always happy to chat!
