Privacy policy

At Paper Tiger Publishers, your trust matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and how we protect it. We want you to feel confident and safe every time you visit.

By using this website (liannekernan.com/paper-tiger-publishers), you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you give us directly:

• Contact form: When you reach out through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any message you write to us.

• Email newsletter: If you sign up for our mailing list, we collect your email address (and name, if provided). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.

• Purchases: When you buy through our website, we collect your name, email address, billing and shipping address, and payment information. Payment transactions are processed securely through PayPal. We do not store your full credit card number.

Information collected automatically:

• Squarespace analytics: Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which automatically collects data about your visit — such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, your general location (country/region), device type, and browser. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

• Cookies: Our website uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — to help the site function properly and to understand how visitors use it. You can adjust cookie settings in your browser at any time, though this may affect some site functionality.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

• To respond to your messages and inquiries

• To process and fulfill your orders

• To send you newsletters and updates you have signed up for

• To understand how our website is being used so we can improve it

• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Ever.

3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate our website:

• Squarespace — our website host and platform. Squarespace processes site analytics and stores website data. Squarespace Privacy Policy

• Stripe — our payment processor. Stripe handles all payment transactions securely. Stripe Privacy Policy

• Email marketing platform — if you subscribe to our newsletter, your email is stored in our mailing list service. You can unsubscribe at any time.

These services have their own privacy policies and are responsible for how they handle your data on their end.

4. YOUR RIGHTS & CHOICES

You have the right to:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you

• Request that we correct or delete your information

• Unsubscribe from our email list at any time

• Opt out of cookies via your browser settings

To make any of these requests, simply email us at liannekernan@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

5. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and payment data is handled entirely by Stripe, which meets the highest security standards in the industry. That said, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

7. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
