Your Privacy (It's Simple)

The Very Short Version

I respect your privacy and have ZERO interest in abusing any personally identifiable information I might obtain. 

I use basic tracking technology on this website, like many other websites do, to help me run a better website, but the tracking's purpose is to analyze trends.

The Slightly Longer Version 

Ridiculous privacy laws force me to write a three-billion-word privacy policy that no one understands anyway, so let me make it simple:

I use various tracking technologies to analyze trends on my website and email campaigns. Yes, some of these tools allow users to see which email address clicked what link and visited what page. (Details below.) However, my use of these tools is purely to analyze trends (for example, if I send 1,000 emails out and 20% of people clicked on Link #1 and 50% clicked on Link #2, then I know that Link #2 is more popular.)

The Longest Version (It's Still Quite Short)

• If you contact me though my contact form, I'll receive your name, email address, phone number, and any other data you choose to send me. 

  • The sole purpose of that contact form is for me to fulfill the specific request you make when contacting me. 

  • I will NOT add your email or phone to any mailing lists unless you explicitly ask me to. 

  • I will NOT send you any marketing material unless you explicitly approve it.

  • Contact form responses are stored on Google Drive, and I receive a copy of the responses in my email account, which is also with Google.  Check out Google's privacy policy here. 

  • I periodically delete all contact entries, usually between one and six months. If you'd like me to delete your information sooner, just send me an email through the contact form on the home page. 

Tracking

If you'd like to visit a tracking-free version of this site, please visit dk.rpaulodelgado.com.

Google: I run Google Analytics tracking on this website. The information is aggregated and does not contain personally identifiable information. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy here. 

Mailchimp: If you're a subscriber of my newsletter, I track links and email opens for the purposes of improving the newsletter on an aggregated basis. This information does contain some personally identifiable info like your email address and first name. You can send me a request to delete this information and I'll honor it unless I cannot by law. Please refer to Mailchimp's Privacy and Legal Policies here.

Facebook Advertising: I run Facebook advertising to my books.rpaulodelgado.com subdomain. That domain uses a Facebook Pixel to help me gather aggregated insight into the performance of my ad campaigns. To learn more, read Meta's Privacy Policy here. 

Other Data

• If the law requires me to retain or disclose any information I've received from you, I will comply with the law.  

• Later, if we enter into a business relationship, I'll likely receive other information from you which does not fall within the scope of this privacy policy. (For example, I'm required to keep accounting records for a certain number of years.)
