Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

  • Information you provide: your first and last name, email address, subject, message, and newsletter preference when you submit the Book Clubs request form.
  • Communications: information contained in emails or other messages you send to the contacts listed on this website.
  • Technical information: limited server logs such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages, date and time, and security events. This information is generally collected automatically by the website host and WordPress for operation and security.

How We Use Information

Information may be used to:

  • respond to Book Clubs, media, literary, and other inquiries;
  • send news or updates when you have chosen to receive them;
  • operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website;
  • prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or other harmful activity; and
  • comply with applicable legal obligations.

Legal Bases

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, processing may be based on your consent, steps taken at your request before entering into an arrangement, legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and operating a secure website, or compliance with a legal obligation. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.

How Information Is Shared

Personal information is not sold. Information may be shared only with service providers that support website hosting, email delivery, security, maintenance, or communications; with professional advisers where necessary; or when disclosure is required by law. These parties should use information only for the relevant service or legal purpose.

Data Retention

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry, maintain appropriate records, provide requested updates, protect the website, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the communication and applicable requirements.

Cookies

This website may use strictly necessary WordPress and security cookies. For more information, see the Cookie Policy.

International Processing

Website hosting, email, or other service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, reasonable safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or portability of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent and lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Reasonable information may be requested to verify your identity before completing a request.

You may opt out of news and updates at any time by using the unsubscribe option in a message or by contacting us.
