Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Cathie Beck Author (“we,” “us”) collects, uses, and safeguards information you provide through cathiebeckauthor.com (the “Site”).

Information We Collect

When you request a free chapter or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and date of birth. We collect date of birth to confirm you meet our minimum age requirement of 16 (so that no one under 16 can download the book) and to offer early access and special promotions on future books. We also collect standard, non-identifying analytics data such as pages visited and browser type.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to deliver the free chapter you requested, to send you updates about Cathie’s books, events, and newsletter, to respond to your messages, and to improve the Site. We will only email you if you have asked us to, and every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Legal Basis & Age

The Site and its mailing list are intended for adults and older teens. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

How We Store & Protect Data

Submissions are stored securely on our hosting provider’s servers and are not publicly accessible. We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may use trusted third-party services (for example, our email newsletter provider) solely to deliver the services you requested.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us through the Contact page. You may unsubscribe from emails at any time.

Cookies

We use cookies to analyze traffic and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
