Privacy Policy
Brain Food Books
Effective Date: October 21, 2026
At Brain Food Books, we believe in sharing books, ideas, and opportunities—not your personal information unnecessarily.
We respect your privacy and want you to understand what information we collect through our website, why we collect it, and how you can make choices about it.
Information You Share With Us
When you subscribe to our newsletter, make a donation, contact us, or otherwise interact with our website, you may choose to provide information such as your name, email address, mailing address, or other details relevant to your request.
We use this information to communicate with you, respond to inquiries, acknowledge donations, maintain necessary records, and support the work of Brain Food Books.
Website Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website. This helps us learn which pages are useful, how our outreach efforts are working, and how we can improve the website.
These services may collect information about website visits, browser and device types, and interactions with our pages.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and help us understand how visitors use our site.
You can accept or decline optional cookies or manage your preferences through our website's cookie settings. Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly.
Newsletters and Communications
Brain Food Books uses Constant Contact to send newsletters, organizational news, and updates about our programs and activities to people who have chosen to subscribe.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in our emails.
Donations and Donor Communications
We use Givebutter to accept donations and maintain donor records.
When you donate, we receive information such as your name, contact details, donation amount, and transaction information. We use this information to acknowledge contributions, maintain financial records, and send donation-related correspondence, including thank-you emails and letters.
Receiving a donation acknowledgment does not mean you have subscribed to our newsletter. We do not automatically add donors to our Constant Contact newsletter list.
Donations are processed securely through Givebutter. Brain Food Books does not directly collect or store your credit card information.
For more information, please see Givebutter's Privacy Policy.
How We Share Information
Brain Food Books does not sell, rent, or share donor or newsletter contact lists with other organizations for their own marketing purposes.
We use service providers, including Squarespace, Google Analytics, Constant Contact, and Givebutter, to operate our website, understand website activity, manage communications, and process donations. These providers handle information as needed to deliver their services.
Your Privacy Choices
You can:
Subscribe to or unsubscribe from our newsletters at any time.
Accept, decline, or manage optional cookies through our website's cookie settings.
Contact us to ask about the personal information we maintain about you or request that we correct or delete it, subject to applicable legal and recordkeeping requirements.
Information Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information entrusted to us and use established service providers to help manage our website, communications, and donations.
No method of transmitting or storing information online is completely secure, but we strive to handle your information responsibly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or practices change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
