Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 14, 2026

Peace Springs Publishing operates the website at https://peacespringspublishing.com and is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have when you interact with our website, newsletters, and other online services.

 

Who we are

Peace Springs Publishing is an independent publishing and digital content brand based in the United States that offers books, digital products, educational content, and related resources for readers and creatives.

For questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, you can contact us using the contact form on the site or by email at [email protected].

 

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through our website at https://peacespringspublishing.com, through our email communications and signup forms, and through any landing pages or digital products we host under the Peace Springs Publishing brand.

It does not apply to data collected by any third-party platforms that we link to, such as Amazon, other online bookstores, or external course and marketplace platforms, whose own privacy policies govern the use of data collected there.

 

Information we collect

We may collect information that identifies you or can be associated with you, including:

• Contact details such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, request a resource, or contact us.
• Optional profile or preference information such as your reading interests or project details if you choose to share them in forms or surveys.
• Technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs collected through server logs and analytics tools.

If you purchase a product directly through our site, our payment partners may collect limited billing information needed to process the transaction, such as payment card details and billing address.

 

How we collect information

We collect information in three main ways:

• Information you provide directly when you fill out forms, subscribe to email lists, request downloads, make a purchase through our site, or communicate with us.
• Information collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies that help us understand how visitors use the site and improve performance and content.
• Information from third-party services we use to operate the site, such as email service providers, analytics platforms, and payment processors that may receive or generate data about your interactions.

 

How we use information

We use the information we collect for purposes that include:

• Providing, maintaining, and improving our website, content, and digital products.
• Responding to your inquiries, delivering requested resources, and managing subscriptions or purchases.
• Sending newsletters, updates, and marketing communications that you have opted in to receive, and tailoring content to topics that are relevant to our audience.
• Monitoring website performance, understanding readership trends, and improving usability and security.
• Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our terms of use when necessary.

We only use personal information in ways that are consistent with this Privacy Policy and with your expectations based on how the data was collected.

 

Legal bases for processing (for visitors from the EU or UK)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, we process your personal information under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Your consent, when you voluntarily provide information or opt in to receive communications.
• Our legitimate interests in operating and improving a publishing and digital content business, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Compliance with legal obligations when applicable, such as record keeping or responding to lawful requests.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe links in our emails or by contacting us using the details in the “Contact us” section.

 

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies such as pixels or local storage to:

• Remember your preferences and settings.
• Understand how visitors use the site, including which pages are visited and how users navigate.
• Improve site performance and measure the effectiveness of our content and campaigns.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including choosing to block or delete them, although doing so may affect some site features or functionality.

 

Analytics and third-party service providers

We may use third-party service providers to help operate our website and business, including:

• Website hosting and security providers.
• Email marketing and newsletter services.
• Analytics services that help us understand site traffic and usage patterns.
• Payment processors and e-commerce tools for any direct sales we offer.

These service providers may process personal information on our behalf and are only authorized to use it as necessary to provide services to us, in line with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

 

Affiliate links and external storefronts

Peace Springs Publishing may share links to books and products sold through third-party retailers or platforms, such as Amazon and other marketplaces, and may participate in affiliate programs.

When you follow these links or make purchases on those platforms, your data is handled under the privacy policies and terms of those third-party sites, not this Privacy Policy, so you should review their notices for details on data collection and use.

 

Email communications and marketing

If you subscribe to our newsletter or opt in to receive updates, we will use your email address to send publishing news, educational content, product announcements, and other materials related to Peace Springs Publishing.

You can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us using the details in the “Contact us” section, and we will remove you from marketing lists while still retaining limited information where legally required, such as records of transactions.

 

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining records, and meeting legal or accounting requirements.

Where possible, we use category-based retention periods, such as retaining email subscription data while your subscription is active and for a reasonable period afterward, and retaining transactional records for periods required by tax or business laws.

When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymize it so it can no longer be used to identify you.

 

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

These measures include using reputable hosting providers, maintaining up to date software, and limiting access to personal information to people or service providers who need it to perform relevant tasks.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we aim to align with common small-business security practices.

 

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, which can include:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to correct inaccurate information or update your details.
• The right to request deletion of your information, subject to legal or contractual obligations.
• The right to object to or limit certain types of processing, such as direct marketing.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the details in the “Contact us” section.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests and may not be able to comply where law or legitimate business needs require us to retain specific information.

 

Children’s privacy

Our website and content are intended for adults and general audiences and are not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and if we learn that such information has been collected without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it as soon as reasonably practicable.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can evaluate and address the situation.

 

International visitors

If you access our website from outside the United States, you agree that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers are located, which may have different data protection rules than those in your country.

We strive to handle your information in line with this Privacy Policy and applicable law, and we encourage you to review this policy carefully before using the site.

 

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website, tools, or legal obligations change.

When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the “Effective date” at the top, and your continued use of the site after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
