Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Anthony Bottalico ("we" or "the author") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit abottalico.com.

What we collect

When you use this site, we may collect:

  • Email addresses you provide when signing up for the mailing list
  • Information you submit through the contact form (name, email address, organization, and message content)
  • Standard technical data automatically collected by the website hosting platform (BookBub Author Websites), including page views, browser type, and general geographic location

We do not collect payment information on this site. When you click through to a book retailer to purchase TRAINMAN, that retailer handles its own data collection separately.

How we use your information

We use the information collected to:

  • Send mailing list subscribers news, updates, and information about new releases
  • Respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form
  • Understand how the site is used so we can improve it

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-party services

This website is built on BookBub Author Websites, which provides hosting and email services. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policy. The mailing list may be processed through email services integrated with the platform.

When you click links to book retailers (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Google Play, Kobo, etc.) or to social media platforms, those services apply their own privacy practices.

Your choices

  • You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send
  • You can request a copy of the data we hold about you, or request its deletion, by contacting us
  • You can choose not to provide information through the contact form or signup form, in which case we will simply have no record of you

Cookies

This site may use cookies and similar technologies to provide basic functionality and analytics. Most browsers allow you to disable cookies in their settings.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with the revised date.
