THE BORING BUT NECESSARY PAGE
Short version: this is a website about a book. It collects almost nothing, sells nothing to anybody, and the few things it does collect are listed below.
Analytics. I use a privacy-focused analytics tool to count page views and see which pages people read. It does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not collect anything that identifies you personally. I see numbers, not people.
When you send me a message. Contact and booking forms are handled by Formspree, which passes your message to my email. I receive whatever you type: your name, email address, and the details of your inquiry. I use it to reply to you and nothing else.
When you subscribe. The newsletter runs on Substack. If you subscribe, Substack holds your email address under its own privacy policy, and you can unsubscribe from any email at any time.
No advertising. No advertising or tracking pixels from social platforms. No selling, renting, or sharing of your information with anyone. No profile of you built across visits. No newsletter signup you did not ask for.
Some pages embed content from other companies, and those companies set their own cookies and collect their own data once the content loads. Currently that means the Spotify players on the mixtape and preface pages, YouTube videos where they appear, and Google Fonts, which serves the typefaces. Their privacy policies govern what they collect.
You can ask me what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to do so. Either way, email privacy@jaredheymann.com and I will handle it.
This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.
The text, cover, and artwork on this site belong to me. You are welcome to quote a reasonable excerpt with attribution and a link. Please do not reproduce the free chapter, the Should-ictionary, or any substantial part of the book elsewhere without asking first.
If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it.
