Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

What we collect

• Nothing you don't give us. You can read every review on this site without an account, and we don't ask for one.
• Email address — only if you subscribe to the newsletter, which is managed by Beehiiv. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
• Usage analytics — we use Google Analytics and Meta Pixel to understand how readers find and use the site (pages visited, buttons clicked). These tools set cookies and may associate your visit with your profile on their platforms.

Affiliate links

Retailer buttons (Amazon, Kindle, Audible) are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer knows you came from this site so they can credit a commission; what they collect from there is governed by their own privacy policies. Details in our affiliate disclosure.

Third parties

• Google Analytics — site analytics (policy)
• Meta — ad analytics via Meta Pixel (policy)
• Beehiiv — newsletter delivery (policy)
• Cloudflare / Vercel — hosting and content delivery

We don't sell your personal information.

Cookies and opting out

Analytics cookies come from Google Analytics and Meta Pixel. You can block them with your browser's tracking protection or an extension, opt out via Google's opt-out and Meta's ad settings, and clear cookies anytime. The site works fully without them.

Your rights

Wherever you live (including the EU/UK under GDPR and California under CCPA), you can ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. The fastest route is replying to any newsletter email, or the contact options on our Who is Penny page.
