Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website.

What data do we collect and how do we collect it?

Our company collects name and email address if you sign up to our newsletter. To manage this data, follow the links from the mail service provider that stores it.

When you click on a Poesys purchase button (the Poesys logo next to a book offering), Poesys transfers you to a Stripe session outside the web site.

Poesys uses the Stripe payments system. Poesys does not collect or store any payment information. Poesys uses the Stripe payment page to collect such information, and therefore no payment information passes through the Poesys website.

Poesys uses Google Analytics to track access to the pages on our site. When you click on certain pages, the page notifies Google through its Analytics API.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.

If you choose to shop for Poesys books at Amazon by clicking on an Amazon button on our website, the button includes the Poesys Amazon Associate identifier. As an Amazon Associate, Poesys earns from any purchases made after you click on our button.

How will we use your data?

Poesys collects your email and name to provide you with occasional newsletters announcing new books, book-related events, or changes to our web site. We use shipping address information from Stripe to drop-ship books directly to you from our distributer, but we do not maintain the shipping addresses with the distributor.

How do we store your data?

Poesys does not store your data on a server. Poesys may store data in your browser as cookie values.

Marketing

If you sign up to our newsletter, Poesys will send you notices when we publish books, offer events, or announce changes to our company or website. Poesys keeps such notices to a minimum.
