We believe in transparency and respect for your data.

✅ What We DO Track:

  • Anonymous Analytics - We use Umami (cookieless analytics) to understand page views, session duration, and traffic sources. No personal data is collected.
  • Quiz Responses - When you take "Which Bad Girl Are You?" quiz, we store your answers and matched character anonymously to improve the experience.
  • Giveaway Entries - If you enter our monthly merch giveaway, we collect your email and phone number (with your consent) to contact winners.
  • Email Signups - If you subscribe for launch updates, we store your email address via Google Forms.

❌ What We DON'T Track:

  • No cookies (our analytics are cookieless)
  • No cross-site tracking or advertising pixels
  • No selling or sharing of your data with third parties
  • No personal identification without your explicit consent

How We Use Your Information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our Google Form or social media channels.

Third-Party Services

We use the following trusted third-party services:

  • Umami Analytics - Cookieless, privacy-first analytics (GDPR compliant)
  • Google Forms - Email collection for giveaways and signups (Google's privacy policy applies)
  • Manus Hosting - Website hosting and database storage (secure and encrypted)

These services have their own privacy policies. We've chosen them specifically for their commitment to user privacy and data protection.

GDPR & International Visitors

We respect the privacy rights of visitors from the European Union, United Kingdom, and around the world. Our cookieless approach means we don't require consent banners for basic site usage.

When you voluntarily provide your email (via forms), you're giving explicit consent for us to contact you about our book launch and giveaways. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

Children's Privacy

While our book is designed for children, our website is intended for adult visitors (parents, educators, librarians). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy as our practices evolve or as required by law. Significant changes will be announced on our homepage. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
