Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Purpose

This Privacy Policy explains how BookHaven manages personal information provided by visitors in the United States. The aim is to ensure clarity and transparency about what data may be collected, how it is used, and the choices available to users. The policy applies to the BookHaven website and its contact form. It is written in plain language to make it accessible to a broad audience.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and message content when you fill out the Contact form. Limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, time of visit, and pages viewed may also be recorded automatically. Cookies or similar technologies may be used to remember preferences and analyze website performance. Sensitive data is not requested, and users are encouraged not to share such details in free-text fields.

3. How We Use Information

Personal details are used only to respond to your request, provide relevant information, or improve site navigation. Technical and analytical data help us understand how visitors use the website and how to improve clarity and speed. Information is not sold or disclosed to unrelated third parties. When needed, service providers may process data strictly for hosting, analytics, or technical support.

4. Legal Bases and Consent

Processing of personal data is based on user consent where required, such as for optional cookies. Information you provide directly is processed to fulfill your request or inquiry. Some data may also be processed for legitimate interests, including website security and performance monitoring, provided these interests are balanced with user rights.

5. Retention

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to meet the purposes outlined in this policy. Retention periods depend on the type of request and applicable legal obligations. When information is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymized within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Children’s Information

BookHaven is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided such information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

7. Sharing and Service Providers

Information may be shared with trusted service providers that help with hosting, analytics, or maintenance. These providers are limited to using the data only for the tasks necessary to support the site. No personal information is made public or used for unrelated activities.

8. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are in place to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While no system is fully secure, BookHaven aims to maintain safeguards appropriate for an informational website.

9. International Transfers

If data is transferred outside the United States for hosting or processing, equivalent protections are applied. Safeguards are used to maintain consistency with this Privacy Policy, even if the data is stored abroad.

10. User Rights and Choices

Visitors may request access to their personal data, corrections, or deletion where applicable. Consent for optional cookies can be withdrawn at any time using browser or on-site settings. Requests to exercise rights can be made via the contact details below.

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect adjustments in site practices or legal requirements. The “last updated” date will be indicated at the top when changes occur. Continuing to use the site after updates means you acknowledge the revised version.
