At Trivial Circumstances Press, I believe in keeping things simple—including how I handle your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect when you visit this website, place an order, contact me, or otherwise interact with the bookstore, and how I use that information.

What Information I Collect

Depending on how you interact with the bookstore, I may collect information such as:

• Your name

• Email address

• Shipping and billing address

• Phone number, if you provide one

• Order and purchase information

• Information you provide when you contact me

• Information you voluntarily provide when signing up for a newsletter or other communications

When you make a purchase, payment information is generally processed securely by WooCommerce/Stripe. I do not need to see or store your complete credit card number.

How I Use Your Information

I use your information for ordinary bookstore purposes, including to:

• Process and fulfill your orders

• Send order confirmations and shipping updates

• Respond to questions or requests

• Handle returns, refunds, or other customer-service matters

• Maintain accurate business and financial records

• Improve the website and shopping experience

• Send newsletters or occasional updates if you’ve chosen to receive them

I don’t collect personal information simply because I can. If I don’t need it to run the bookstore or communicate with you, I don’t need to know it.

Email Communications

If you choose to join my mailing list, I’ll use your email address to send announcements, book news, events, and occasional offerings from Trivial Circumstances Press. I try not to email more than once a month.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in my emails.

If you’ve placed an order, I may still contact you about that specific order even if you have unsubscribed from promotional emails.

Cookies & Website Information

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to help it function properly, remember preferences, process purchases, and understand how visitors use the site.

Depending on the website platform and services connected to this bookstore, information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and general website activity may be collected.

This information helps keep the website functioning and can help me understand which parts of the bookstore are useful to visitors.

Third-Party Services

This bookstore may use trusted third-party services to help with things such as:

• Payment processing

• Website hosting and ecommerce

• Shipping and order fulfillment

• Email newsletters

• Website analytics

These services may receive information needed to perform their specific functions. They are expected to handle that information according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.

I don’t sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

Your Information Is Not For Sale

Your personal information isn’t a product.

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to other companies for their own marketing purposes.

Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to process an order, operate the website, send communications you’ve requested, or otherwise provide services you’ve asked for.

How Long I Keep Information

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including fulfilling orders, providing customer service, maintaining business and financial records, and meeting legal or tax obligations.

Some information may need to be retained longer because the law requires it.

Keeping Your Information Safe

I take reasonable steps to protect the personal information entrusted to me. However, no website, online service, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

This bookstore is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact me so I can take appropriate steps to remove it.

Your Choices

You may contact me to:

• Ask what personal information I have about you

• Request correction of inaccurate information

• Ask about deletion of information, where legally permitted

• Unsubscribe from marketing emails

• Ask questions about how your information is used

Some information may need to be retained to complete transactions, comply with legal obligations, or maintain necessary business records.

Links to Other Websites

This website may occasionally include links to other websites, such as social media platforms, authors, artists, event organizations, or other resources.

Once you leave this website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Please review the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

As Trivial Circumstances Press grows and the bookstore evolves, this Privacy Policy may occasionally need to change.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
