This Privacy Policy explains how Book Nerdection collects, uses and shares your personal information when you visit booknerdection.com (the “Site”) or buy one of our services or digital products.

Information we collect

Device information. When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, such as your browser, IP address, time zone and some of the cookies installed on your device, as well as the pages you view, the websites or search terms that referred you, and how you interact with the Site. We collect this using:

  • Cookies: small data files placed on your device, often with an anonymous unique identifier. To learn more about cookies and how to disable them, visit allaboutcookies.org.
  • Log files: records of actions on the Site, including your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages and date/time stamps.
  • Web beacons, tags and pixels: electronic files that record how you browse the Site.

Order information. When you make or attempt a purchase, we collect information such as your name, email address, billing address and phone number. Payments are processed securely by PayPal, so we never receive or store your card details.

Book review materials. When you request a review or other author service, we may ask for a digital copy of your book, cover and book images, your author photo, biography and purchase links.

How we use your information

  • To provide the services and digital products you order, including processing payments, sending confirmations and invoices, and delivering your downloads
  • To publish your review, interview or listing with your author information, book images and links, and to promote it on our social media
  • To communicate with you about your order
  • To screen orders for potential risk or fraud
  • When in line with your preferences, to send you information about our services, which you can unsubscribe from at any time
  • To understand how visitors use the Site and to improve it

Sharing your information

  • Reviewers: we share your book and related materials with the professional freelance reviewers we hire, solely so they can review your book.
  • Payments: PayPal processes payments under its own privacy policy.
  • Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Read how Google uses your information or opt out of Google Analytics.
  • Advertising: the Site displays ads, and Google and other advertising partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
  • Legal requirements: we may share information to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information.

You can opt out of some targeted advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal or your Google Ad Settings, and unsubscribe from our marketing emails using the link at the bottom of each email.

We do not change our data collection practices in response to “Do Not Track” signals from your browser.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, update or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details at the bottom of this page. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the UK, we process your information to fulfil our contract with you (for example, when you place an order) or for our legitimate business interests described above. Your information may be transferred outside Europe, including to the United States and Canada.

Data retention

We keep your order information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete it. Published reviews and author information remain on the Site as described in our Terms of Service.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on the Site, including “Buy on Amazon” buttons, are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We may also recommend other products or services; these recommendations are based on our own experience, but please do your own research before buying. We are not responsible for the content of external websites. Affiliate relationships never affect our reviews or ratings. This disclosure applies to affiliate links on our website, social media and emails.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons.
