Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025
1. Introduction
FantasyBookRecs (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website fantasybookrecs.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site. By using FantasyBookRecs, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate the site. This may include:
- Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, and device information — collected automatically via analytics tools.
- Contact form submissions: If you submit a contact or advertise enquiry form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide. This data is processed by Formspree (formspree.io) on our behalf.
- Cookies: We and our third-party partners use cookies to understand how visitors use the site. See Section 3 for details.
We do not require account registration and do not collect payment information.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We use cookies for:
- Analytics: We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with the site. These services may set their own cookies.
- Affiliate tracking: When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may set cookies on your browser to track purchases made during your session.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
4. Amazon Affiliate Disclosure
FantasyBookRecs.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that when you click an Amazon link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Our editorial recommendations are not influenced by affiliate relationships — we recommend books because we believe they are genuinely good, not because of commission potential.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
- Understand how the site is used and improve its content and structure
- Respond to enquiries submitted through our contact and advertise forms
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
6. Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to external websites, including Amazon product pages. These sites have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third-party site. Clicking an affiliate link will take you to Amazon, which has its own privacy policy and cookie practices governed by Amazon's terms.
7. Data Retention
Analytics data is retained according to the policies of our analytics provider. Contact form submissions are retained by Formspree according to their data retention policy. We do not store form submissions on our own servers beyond what is necessary to respond to your enquiry.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at hello@fantasybookrecs.com.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
