This Privacy Policy explains how EngenderBooks collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, download sample chapters, submit a contact form, or otherwise interact with our publishing resources. By using this site, you agree to this policy.

Google AdSense, advertising cookies, and third parties

This site uses Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies, including the DoubleClick / Google advertising cookie, to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. These cookies help Google and its partners show relevant ads, limit how often you see an ad, and measure ad effectiveness.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

Third parties, including Google, may collect data about your activity on this site through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies. We do not control those third-party cookies. Please review Google’s policies:

Other third-party services that may process data on this site include Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit / Google Tag Manager), cookie-consent tooling, and form providers. Those vendors act as independent controllers or processors under their own terms.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies that are:

Essential — required for security, consent storage, and basic site operation.
Preferences — remember choices such as cookie consent.
Analytics / statistics — help us understand traffic and content use (for example Google Analytics).
Advertising / marketing — used by Google AdSense and partners to deliver and measure ads.

Where required, we ask for consent before non-essential cookies are set. You can change or withdraw cookie preferences using the cookie banner or preference button on this site, and you can also control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features. Additional detail is available on our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and related Google tags to compile reports about website use. Google may process this data on servers in the United States or other countries. You can learn more in Google’s privacy policy and, where available, use Google’s analytics opt-out tools.

Comments, media, and embedded content

If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the form plus your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. A cookie may store your name, email, and site if you opt in, typically for up to one year. Embedded content from other sites (for example videos or fonts) behaves as if you visited that other site and may collect data about you.

If you upload images, avoid embedding location metadata (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to extract location data from images.

How long we keep data

Contact-form messages and related records are kept as long as needed to respond and for legitimate business, security, and legal purposes. Comments and their metadata are retained until you ask us to remove them, unless they must be kept to resolve a dispute or meet a legal obligation. Analytics and advertising data follow the retention settings of those providers.

How we share information

We share information with service providers who help us run the site (hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email delivery, and form processing). We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or users, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not share personal information with advertisers except through the standard operation of advertising platforms such as Google AdSense, as described above.

International transfers

Our vendors, including Google, may process information in countries other than your own. Those countries may have different data-protection laws. We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information we hold, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, email [email protected]. You may also opt out of personalized ads as described in the AdSense section above, and you may close the cookie preference panel to change non-essential cookies.

Do Not Track signals are not consistently implemented across the industry; our cookie banner and Google opt-out tools are the primary controls we provide. Where a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal is respected by our consent tool, we will honor it as described in that tool.

Children

This website is intended for adults, including professional readers and authors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where that is the applicable age). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use HTTPS and industry-standard hosting and security measures. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use a unique password if you have an account on this site, and notify us of any suspected unauthorized access.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
