6. Advertising and Analytics

We may use third-party analytics providers (for example, to understand traffic and improve performance). We may also use limited advertising tools to promote our books and events.

Depending on how we configure advertising, some sharing of online identifiers may be considered “targeted advertising” under certain state privacy laws. You can control many advertising preferences via cookie settings, browser controls, and platform opt-outs (see below).

You can opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in our emails. Even if you opt out, we may still send non-marketing messages (order confirmations, policy updates).

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of certain Personal Information, and to opt out of certain processing (see “Colorado Privacy Rights”).


8. Sensitive Personal Information

We do not intentionally collect Sensitive Personal Information (such as Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, biometric data, health information, or information about children) unless you provide it voluntarily and it is necessary for a specific request or required by law.

Please do not submit sensitive information through forms, email, or public posts unless we specifically request it.


9. Data Retention

We keep Personal Information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to:

11. Third-Party Services and Links

Our Services may link to third-party websites or platforms (for example, retailers, social media, event tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Your interactions with them are governed by their own policies.


12. Use of Services by Minors

Unless specifically stated for a child-directed feature, our Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to individuals under 13.

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

  • We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
     
  • If we learn we collected such information without proper consent, we will take steps to delete it.
     

If you are a parent/guardian and believe your child has provided Personal Information to us, please contact us (see “Contact Us”) and we will work with you to address the request.


14. Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Transfers

Our Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ.
