Privacy Policy

What We Collect (and What We Don't)

Personal Information

We do not collect personal information simply by browsing this website. You can view information about our puzzle books, read descriptions, and click links to Amazon without providing your name, email, phone number, or address. This website does not require account registration or login.

What Happens When You Visit

When you browse rememberwhenpress.com:

• No personal data is collected — Your name, email, and contact information are not gathered
• No user accounts — We don't have a login system or user database
• No forms — There are no signup forms, surveys, or data entry fields (except newsletter signup, if enabled)
• Anonymous analytics only — We see aggregate traffic data, not individual user tracking (see Analytics section)

Newsletter Signup (If You Choose)

If you voluntarily provide your email address through our newsletter signup form to receive notifications about new puzzle book releases, we collect:

• Your email address
• Date and time of signup
• Source (which page you signed up from)

How we use it: Exclusively to send you announcements about new puzzle books in our series. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email we send.

Email service provider: Newsletter emails are managed through a third-party email service provider (such as Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or similar). Their privacy policy also applies to how your email is stored and processed.

Contact Form Submissions

If you contact us via email at [email protected], we collect:

• Your email address (from the "From" field)
• Any information you voluntarily include in your message
• Date and time of your email

How we use it: Solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to mailing lists without explicit permission, and we do not share your contact information with third parties.

Retention: Email correspondence is retained in our email system for customer service purposes. If you want your emails deleted, reply to our response and request deletion.

Email Communication

When We Contact You

Remember When Press will only send you emails if:

• You signed up for our newsletter (new book announcements)
• You contacted us and we're responding to your inquiry

We do not send:

• Promotional emails for third-party products
• Advertisements for unrelated services
• Frequent marketing emails (our newsletter is low-volume: only when new books release)

Unsubscribe

All newsletter emails include an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it immediately removes your email from our list. You can also email us at [email protected] to request removal.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics in a privacy-friendly configuration to understand general traffic patterns, such as:

• Which pages are most popular
• General geographic regions of visitors (country/state level)
• Device types (mobile vs desktop)
• How visitors find our site (search engines, social media, direct links)

What We Don't Track

We do not use:

• Advertising cookies or tracking pixels
• Personalized advertising or remarketing
• Cross-site tracking or user fingerprinting
• IP address logging (addresses are anonymized)
• User-level tracking or individual user profiles

Privacy-Friendly Configuration

Our Google Analytics implementation is configured to:

• Disable ad storage and personalization
• Anonymize IP addresses
• Disable Google Signals
• Disable client-side cookie storage
• Deny all advertising and user data consent by default

What We Learn

Aggregate data only. Examples of insights we gain:

• "5,000 people visited the homepage this month"
• "The About page is the second most popular"
• "40% of visitors use mobile devices"

We never see individual user sessions, personally identifiable behavior, or detailed browsing patterns. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.

Opt Out of Analytics

If you prefer to block Google Analytics entirely:

• Use browser extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or Ghostery
• Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

The website will continue to work perfectly even if you block analytics. It's for our understanding only, not site functionality.

Cookies

Remember When Press does not use cookie consent banners or popups because the site is configured to avoid storing persistent cookies by default.

No Tracking Cookies

Google Analytics runs in "cookieless mode," meaning:

• No persistent cookies are stored on your device
• Each visit is treated independently with no long-term tracking
• You are not tracked across websites or sessions

Session Storage Only

Your browser may store temporary session data (such as which page you're currently viewing) that disappears when you close your browser. This is standard website functionality and does not track you.

Third-Party Cookies

When you click links to external websites (such as Amazon), those third-party sites may set their own cookies according to their privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies.

If we add embedded content in the future (videos, social media widgets), we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms if those services introduce tracking cookies.

Affiliate Links

Amazon Affiliate Program

Remember When Press participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program. This means:

• Links to our puzzle books on Amazon include an affiliate tracking code
• If you purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission (typically 4-8%)
• The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon
• Commissions help support our work creating new puzzle books

Transparency

We are transparent about our affiliate relationship. All links to Amazon products are clearly marked (typically with "View on Amazon" buttons or similar text). Affiliate links include tracking parameters like tag=rememberwhenpress-20 in the URL.

Your Privacy with Affiliates

When you click an affiliate link to Amazon:

• You leave our website and are subject to Amazon's Privacy Policy
• Amazon knows you came from our site (via the affiliate tag) but shares no personally identifiable information with us
• We do not receive your name, address, email, order details, or purchase history
• Amazon processes all transactions and handles all customer data

We never have access to information about what you purchase or your Amazon account. The affiliate program only tells us aggregate data, such as "X number of people purchased books through our links this month" without identifying who those people are.

External Links and Third-Party Services

Amazon.com

Our primary external link is to Amazon.com, where our puzzle books are sold. Amazon's Privacy Policy applies to all transactions and data collection on their platform. We recommend reviewing Amazon's privacy practices if you have concerns about purchasing through them.

Other External Links

We may occasionally link to:

• Social media profiles (if we establish them)
• News articles or reviews about our books
• Resources related to puzzles, nostalgia, or seniors

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. Each website has its own data collection policies. When you click links leaving rememberwhenpress.com, you are subject to the destination site's terms and privacy policy.

Email Service Provider

If you sign up for our newsletter, your email is processed and stored by our third-party email service provider. Their privacy policy governs how your email is stored, secured, and used. We choose reputable providers with strong privacy protections, but their practices are separate from ours.

Children's Privacy

Remember When Press does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).

Our puzzle books are designed for adults and seniors, and our website does not target children. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information (such as an email address through our newsletter signup), we will delete it promptly.

Parents and guardians: If you believe your child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will remove it from our systems.

Your Privacy Rights

Right to Anonymity

You can browse this entire website without providing any personal information. No account required, no email needed, no forms to fill out. The only way we collect personal data is if you voluntarily provide it (newsletter signup or email contact).

Right to Access

If you've signed up for our newsletter, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information we have about you (your email address and signup date). Email [email protected] to request this information.

Right to Deletion

You can request deletion of your personal information at any time:

• Newsletter: Use the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or email us to request removal
• Email correspondence: Request deletion of past email exchanges by replying to our messages
• Analytics: Because analytics data is anonymous and aggregated, there's no personal data to delete

Right to Correction

If we have incorrect information about you (such as a misspelled email address in our newsletter list), contact us and we'll correct it.

Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of:

• Newsletter emails — Unsubscribe link in every email
• Analytics tracking — Use browser extensions or "Do Not Track" settings

Right to Data Portability

If you want a copy of your personal information in a machine-readable format (such as a CSV file of your email address and signup date), email us and we'll provide it.

International Visitors

Remember When Press operates from the United States but is accessible worldwide. We do not discriminate based on geographic location and provide the same privacy protections to all visitors regardless of where they're located.

GDPR (European Visitors)

Our privacy-first approach aligns with GDPR principles:

• Data minimization: We collect only what's necessary (email for newsletter, nothing else)
• Consent: Newsletter signup is opt-in only
• Right to erasure: Unsubscribe anytime to remove your email
• Data portability: Request your data in machine-readable format
• Transparency: This policy explains everything we collect and why

CCPA (California Visitors)

We do not sell personal information. California residents have the same privacy rights as all other visitors:

• Right to know what personal information is collected
• Right to deletion of personal information
• Right to opt out of data sharing (not applicable since we don't share data)
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights

Other Jurisdictions

If your jurisdiction has specific privacy laws we haven't mentioned, and you believe we're not in compliance, please contact us with details. We aim to respect privacy laws globally, not just where legally required.

Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the limited personal information we collect:

• HTTPS encryption: This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for all connections
• Secure email: Email correspondence is transmitted securely
• Third-party security: Newsletter emails are managed by reputable providers with strong security practices
• No payment data: We never collect credit cards or payment information (all purchases through Amazon)

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect:

• Changes to the website or how we operate
• New legal requirements
• Privacy best practices
• Feedback from users

The latest version will always be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date at the top.

Significant changes (such as adding new data collection, introducing tracking cookies, or changing how we use existing data) will be noted prominently on the homepage before implementation.

Minor updates (such as clarifying existing practices, fixing typos, or adding examples) may be made without advance notice.

Continued use of Remember When Press after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We recommend checking this page periodically if you have privacy concerns.

Privacy Questions

We will respond to legitimate privacy requests within 30 days. For time-sensitive requests (such as data deletion due to GDPR), please note the urgency in your message.
