Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 14, 2025
At Sticking Place Books, we value your privacy. This policy explains in plain language what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.
What We Collect
Information You Give Us
- Newsletter signups: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
- Contact form: When you reach out through our contact page, we collect your name, email address, and message.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve your experience. These tools may collect:
- Pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- Your general location (country/city level, not your exact address)
- What device and browser you use
- How you found us (search engine, direct visit, etc.)
We use Google Analytics (via Firebase) and PostHog for this purpose. These services use cookies—small text files stored on your device—to recognise returning visitors.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiries when you contact us
- To send you our newsletter (only if you subscribed)
- To understand how people use our website so we can make it better
What We Don't Do
We do not sell your personal information. We never have and never will. Your data is not shared with advertisers or data brokers.
Third-Party Services
We use a few trusted services to run our website:
- Firebase (Google): Hosts our website and provides analytics
- PostHog: Helps us understand how visitors use our site
These services have their own privacy policies and may store data on servers in the United States.

You have the right to:
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of any email
- Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
- Request deletion of your personal data
