This privacy policy explains how arthursontag.com (the “site”), the author website of Arthur Sontag, collects, uses and protects information when you visit. We keep our privacy policy short and written in plain language so you can see exactly what happens with your information.
Information we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Information you send us. If you use the contact form or sign up for the newsletter, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address and message.
- Usage information. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools may record technical details such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit and the date and time of your visit.
- Cookies. The site and its tools may use cookies to make pages work properly and to understand how visitors use the site.
How we use information
We use the information to reply to your messages, send the newsletter if you asked for it, keep the site secure and working, and understand which pages and books interest readers so we can improve the site.
Analytics and cookies
We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. These tools use cookies and collect information described in Google’s privacy policy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work.
Amazon and other third-party links
Arthur Sontag’s books are sold through Amazon. When you click a link to Amazon or another outside website, you leave this site and that company’s own privacy policy applies, such as Amazon’s Privacy Notice. This site does not collect your payment details for book purchases made on Amazon.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site, such as web hosting, email and analytics services, and when the law requires it.
How we protect information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, including using a secure connection for this site. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
How long we keep information
We keep messages and newsletter subscriptions for as long as needed to respond to you or until you ask us to remove them. Analytics data is kept according to the settings of the analytics service.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email. You can also ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you can control cookies through your browser settings.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
