Privacy Policy
Plain language, because that’s the whole point of this place.

Who runs this site
This site is operated by Randy Bridge and Grey Eagle Media Group, LLC, 531 Grant 831, Sheridan, Arkansas 72150, United States.
Questions about privacy can be sent to the email address on the contact page.
What we collect
When you join the email list
Your first name (optional) and your email address. That’s it. We ask for consent explicitly on the form and record that you gave it.
When you send an inquiry
Whatever you type into the form: name, email, organization, event details, and your message. Used to answer you, and nothing else.
When you order a signed copy
Your name, email, postal address, and phone number if you give one. Used to sign, pack, and post your book, and to contact you about that order. We never ask for card or bank details on this site — payment is arranged separately, so no payment information is stored here at all.
Automatically
Standard web-server logs kept by our host, which typically include IP address, browser type, and pages requested. These are used for security and troubleshooting.
When you click through to a toolkit on Gumroad, we count that click so we know which guides people want. That count records only which link and when — no IP address, no cookie, and nothing that identifies you.
This site loads no third-party analytics or advertising scripts. If that ever changes, this section will name the tool and say what it collects.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell your information. Not to anyone, not ever.
- We don’t rent or trade mailing lists.
- We don’t run advertising trackers on this site.
- We don’t email you things you didn’t ask for.
Cookies
This site sets no tracking cookies. It uses one piece of browser session storage to remember that you dismissed the announcement bar, so it doesn’t nag you on every page. That data never leaves your device and disappears when you close the browser.
Email and your choices
Every email includes an unsubscribe link that works immediately. You can also reply and ask to be removed, and it will be done by hand.
Your name and email address are stored on our own web server, hosted by Hostinger. They are not shared with a third-party mailing-list company. Emails from this site (confirmations, replies) are sent through Google Workspace, which means Google processes the message in transit as our email provider.
Your rights
You can ask us to tell you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Write to the contact address and it will be handled. If you are in the UK, EU, or a US state with its own privacy law, you have those rights regardless of where we are.
Children
This site isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
If you apply to the review team
We keep your name, email, format preference, where you said you might review, and anything you wrote about yourself. That information is used to decide who gets an advance copy and to send you the book — nothing else. If you are sent a copy, the download link is tied to your record and the number of downloads is counted, which is how an advance manuscript is kept from spreading before publication. You can ask for the whole record to be deleted at any time and it will be.
Third parties
Fonts are served by Google Fonts, which means your browser requests those files from Google and Google receives your IP address as part of that request. Everything else on this site is served from our own host.
Video pages show a still image stored on our own server, not a YouTube player. Nothing is requested from YouTube until you click play. When you do, the video loads from youtube-nocookie.com and from that point YouTube receives your IP address and may set storage in your browser under its own privacy policy. If you never press play, YouTube is never contacted.
Links to retailers, social platforms, and other sites take you to services with their own privacy policies. We don’t control those.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Form submissions go directly to the connected provider rather than being stored on this site.
Changes
If this policy changes meaningfully, the date at the top changes with it.
