Privacy Policy

Placeholder policy — this is a plain-English template and must be reviewed (ideally by counsel or the publisher) and updated with real provider names before launch.

Last updated: Placeholder — add date

This website, powerofanimism.com, exists to share information about the book The Healing Power of Animism by Mark Bockley. It is a simple, static site. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible, and to be plain about what we do collect.

What we collect

We only collect information you choose to give us:

• Newsletter sign-ups. If you join the mailing list, we collect the email address you submit.
• Contact messages. If you use the contact form, we collect your name, your email address, the reason you selected, and the message you write.

We do not ask for, and do not want, any sensitive personal information through this site.

How we use it

We use your email address only to send the occasional updates you signed up for — notes on the work, the book, and events. We use the information in a contact message only to read and respond to that message, and to route it to the right person (for example, the publicist for press inquiries or the agent for rights inquiries).

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it for advertising. We do not build advertising profiles of visitors.

Third-party providers

To deliver the newsletter and to receive contact messages, we rely on reputable third-party service providers — for example, an email marketing service and a form-handling service. Placeholder — name the actual providers used (e.g. the email/newsletter platform and the form provider) and link their privacy policies. When you submit a form, the information you enter is processed by the relevant provider on our behalf. The website itself is hosted by a static hosting provider, which may keep standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for security and reliability.

Cookies

This site does not use tracking or advertising cookies, and it does not run third-party analytics that profile you. Any cookies that appear are limited to what is strictly necessary for the site or a form provider to function.

Your choices and data requests

You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time using the link in any email we send. You may also ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, contact us using the details below, and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above.
