Privacy Policy

Paddock Road Press ("we," "us," or "our") operates https://paddockroadpress.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Contact form submissions. When you use the Contact Us form we collect:

• First name and last name
• Email address
• The message or request you submit

This information is transmitted directly to our inbox and is not stored in any database on this Site.

Analytics (with consent only). If you accept cookies, we collect anonymized data about how visitors use the Site — pages visited, time on page, and general geographic region. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics. If you decline, no analytics data is collected.

Server logs. Our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, referring URL, date/time) for security and operational purposes. These logs are retained for a limited period and are not used for marketing.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form
• To understand how visitors use the Site and improve the experience
• To detect and prevent security incidents

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We use browser localStorage (not HTTP cookies) to store your consent preference so we don't ask again on repeat visits. No tracking cookies are set before you accept. If you decline, no analytics data is collected and no tracking identifiers are stored.

You can clear your consent preference at any time by clearing your browser's site data for https://paddockroadpress.com.

4. Third-Party Services

The Site uses the following third-party services:

• Google Fonts — fonts are loaded from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Google may log the request. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Retail partners — links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Bookshop, Books-a-Million, and Walmart open on those retailers' own sites, which have their own privacy policies.

5. Data Retention

Contact form messages are retained in our email inbox for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Analytics data (if consented) is aggregated and anonymized.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other applicable law, including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through our contact form, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
