1. Introduction

Welcome to Jack Curran Writes (www.jackcurranwrites.com). I am committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and disclose information when you visit my website, sign up for my newsletter, or click on my affiliate links.

2. Information I Collect

I only collect information that is necessary to provide you with my services (such as sending you a free book or a newsletter).

• Personal Data: When you sign up for my newsletter, I collect your email address and, optionally, your first name.
• Automatically Collected Data: Like most websites, I automatically collect certain information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with the site. This is used for security and to improve the website experience.

3. How I Use Your Information

I use your information for the following “Legitimate Interests”:

• To send you the newsletter you signed up for.
• To deliver “Reader Magnets” (free books or stories).
• To track the performance of my blog posts and book pages.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

I share data with trusted service providers to help run my site:

• MailerLite: I use MailerLite to manage my email marketing subscriber list and to send emails to my subscribers. Your data is stored on their secure servers. You can read MailerLite’s Privacy Policy here.
• Amazon Associates: I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link on this site, Amazon uses cookies to track your purchase so that I may earn a small commission.
• Google Analytics (GA4) I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with my website. Google Analytics uses “cookies” to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. This helps me analyze data such as page views and how long readers stay on my blog pages. To comply with modern privacy standards (like GDPR), I have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses and I do not share this data with other Google products for advertising purposes. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
