Privacy Policy

Draft for review. This policy describes how the website is actually built. Replace the bracketed items, and have it reviewed by a qualified adviser before launch, especially if you add analytics, advertising, or direct sales.

This Privacy Policy explains how [Legal name of the site owner] ("we", "us") collects and uses personal information through www.becomingmybrotherskeeper.co (the "Site"), the official website for Becoming My Brother's Keeper by John David Foringer.

Information we collect

Contact form. When you send a message we collect your name, email address, inquiry type, subject and message. This is used only to read and reply to your inquiry. Messages are delivered to us by email through our email delivery provider, Resend; we do not store contact-form submissions in a database on the Site.

Newsletter. If you subscribe we collect your first name and email address, and record your consent. Your details are stored by our newsletter provider ([Brevo / Mailchimp]), which sends a confirmation email (double opt-in) before you are added to the list. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Orders. When you buy the book on the Site, payment is handled by Stripe. You enter your card details on Stripe's secure checkout page; they are never sent to or stored by us. We receive your name, email address, the items ordered and the amount paid, and, for hardcover orders, your shipping address and phone number. We use this only to fulfil and support your order (shipping, PDF delivery, receipts and questions) and to keep records required by law. Order emails are sent through Resend.

Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider ([Vercel / hosting company]) processes standard request data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to serve and secure the Site. We temporarily use IP addresses to limit repeated form submissions (spam and abuse prevention).

Spam protection. [If enabled:] Forms may use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a submission comes from a person. Cloudflare processes limited technical data for this purpose.

Cookies

The Site does not use advertising or analytics cookies. [If you add analytics later, describe it here and add a consent banner where required.]

How we use information

• To respond to messages and requests you send us.
• To send the newsletter you asked for, until you unsubscribe.
• To operate, secure and protect the Site against abuse.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it except with the service providers named above, who process it on our behalf, or where required by law.

Retention

Contact emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and any follow-up. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, use the contact form or email [privacy contact email].

Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their information.

External links

The Site links to retailers, review platforms and social networks. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies.

Changes

We may update this policy. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed.
