Privacy Policy
At BookOfThe.Day, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.
1. Information Collection
We collect information you provide when submitting a book, including your name (or pen name), email address, and book details. This information is used for validating submissions, facilitating book promotions, and communicating with you. We also collect your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or, optionally, when you opt in while submitting a book.
2. Use of Information
Your information is used to:
- Validate the legitimacy of book submissions
- Promote selected books on our platform
- Contact you regarding your submission or if your book is selected
- Send our newsletter, but only to addresses that have opted in
3. Newsletter
Our newsletter is opt-in. We add your email address to the newsletter list only when you subscribe through the newsletter signup or tick the optional newsletter box when submitting a book — submitting a book on its own does not subscribe you. We use the list to send updates about the books we feature, and we never share or sell your address. You can unsubscribe at any time, and every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link.
4. Analytics and Advertising
To understand which books and pages readers enjoy, we use self-hosted, cookieless Umami analytics — it measures aggregate traffic on our own server and sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
This site shows ads served through Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and understand how ads are used on this site. Where required (for example in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), we ask for your consent through Google’s consent message before personalized ads are shown, and you can change that choice at any time. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
5. Data Protection
We implement security measures to protect your personal information. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties except as needed to operate the site (for example, our email delivery provider).
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You may also unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Contact us to exercise these rights.
7. Changes to Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Significant changes will be notified by posting the new policy on this page.
