INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you subscribe to The Briar Gate Circular, we collect your email address and your consent to receive emails. When you use our contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, subject, and message.
Our website and its service providers may also collect limited technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser or device type, pages viewed, referring page, and approximate location.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use information to deliver requested newsletters and welcome emails, respond to inquiries, operate and secure the website, understand how visitors use the site, improve our content and services, and comply with legal obligations.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
You will receive The Briar Gate Circular only if you choose to subscribe. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting us at amy@briargatepress.com.
SHARING OF INFORMATION
Briar Gate Press does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website and email system, including Wix and Google Workspace, only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or website.
COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
This site may use essential cookies required for site operation and analytics technologies that help us understand website traffic and performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the site's cookie controls. Disabling some cookies may affect how the site functions.
RETAILER, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND EXTERNAL LINKS
Our website links to retailers and other third-party services, including Amazon, Books2Read, and social media platforms. Purchases are completed on those third-party sites. Briar Gate Press does not receive or store your payment information. Those services have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not govern their websites.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
DATA SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
We use reasonable measures and reputable service providers to protect information, but no online service is completely secure. Wix, Google, and other providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their applicable safeguards and privacy terms.
