Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 10, 2026

This policy explains what information the United We Stand Books website (unitedwestandbooks.com) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We collect as little as possible. You can browse books and read free preview chapters without creating an account or giving us any personal information.

The Short Version

• No accounts, no sign-up and no login.
• No cookies and no analytics or advertising trackers on this site today.
• If you contact us or ask to be notified about a book, we use what you send only to reply or to send that notice.
• Payments, when available, are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• We don’t sell your personal information.

Information We Collect

When you browse

This website is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages. Like most web hosts, GitHub may automatically log technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request, for security and to keep the service running. We do not use this information to identify you, and GitHub’s own privacy practices apply to it.

We do not use cookies, and no analytics service is installed. If we add one in the future, we will update this policy to describe it before it is used.

Reader text size

If you change the text size in the chapter reader, that preference is saved in your browser’s local storage on your own device. It is never sent to us, and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Contact form and release notifications

When our contact form and “Notify Me” sign-ups are available, the information you choose to send (such as your name, email address, message, the book you’re interested in and, if you add one, your mobile phone number) is delivered to us through a third-party form service that processes it on our behalf. We use it only to:

• reply to your message, and
• let you know when a book you asked about is available, or about new releases if you asked for that.

We don’t use it for anything else, and we don’t sell or rent it.

Text messages (optional)

If you give us your mobile number and check the box agreeing to texts, we will send text messages only about the book release you asked about. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP. Giving your phone number is never required.

Payments and Pre-Orders

When pre-orders or purchases are available on this site, payments are processed by Stripe on Stripe’s secure checkout page. Stripe collects your payment details directly. We never see or store your full card number. We may receive information needed to fulfill your order, such as your name, email address and what you ordered. Stripe’s privacy policy applies to the information it collects.

Other Websites

Some links may take you to other websites, such as book retailers. Those websites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.

How We Share Information

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the site (such as our hosting provider, form service and payment processor), only as needed for them to provide that service, or when required by law. We don’t sell personal information.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please let us know through our contact page and we will delete it.

Keeping and Deleting Your Information

We keep messages and sign-up details only as long as we need them to reply to you or to send the notices you asked for. You can ask us to tell you what information we have about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can unsubscribe from release notices at any time. To make a request, please reach us through our contact page.

Security

The site is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection, and we rely on established providers to handle forms and payments. No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the website changes. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date above.
