When you sign up for the W. E. Rowan newsletter or request a free book or other reader resource, I may collect information you provide directly, including:
- Your email address

The website and the services used to operate it may also automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, and information used for security and spam prevention.
How I Use Your Information

Email Subscriptions
Newsletter subscribers are asked to give consent before being added to the mailing list. W. E. Rowan currently uses a double opt-in process, which means you must confirm your email address before your subscription becomes active.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.
Some limited records may be retained after you unsubscribe when necessary to honor your request not to receive future marketing messages or to meet legal and compliance requirements.
Service Providers
I use third-party services to operate the website, manage email subscriptions, prevent spam, and deliver books. These may include:
- Sender for newsletter subscriptions, email delivery, and subscriber management
- BookFunnel for electronic book delivery
- Google reCAPTCHA for spam and abuse prevention
- Website hosting and related technical service providers
These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own privacy practices and policies.
I do not sell or rent your personal information to advertisers or other third parties.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, form processing, or spam prevention.
I do not currently use this website to serve targeted advertising. If additional analytics or tracking services are added in the future, this policy will be updated as appropriate.
Data Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested services, maintain subscription preferences, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the website and its users.
Your Choices
You may ask what personal information I have about you, request a correction, or ask that personal information be deleted when appropriate.
