Last updated: April 14, 2026

Christina Garner ("we," "our," or "us") operates the christinagarner.com website (the "Site"). This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the terms governing your use of the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily:
When you fill out a contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the personal information you give us—typically your name and email address. You are never required to provide this information, but declining may prevent you from using certain features like the contact form or newsletter signup.

Information collected automatically:
Like most websites, we collect certain non-personal information when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and usage patterns. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. We use it to understand how visitors interact with the Site and to improve your experience.

Cookies:
We use cookies (small files placed on your device) to remember your preferences and analyze Site traffic. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, though this may affect how the Site displays.

How We Use Your Information
Newsletter subscribers: Your name and email address are stored securely and used only to send updates about Christina Garner's new releases, cover reveals, and occasional recommendations for books or services you may enjoy. We will never sell, rent, or trade your email address to third parties for their marketing purposes.

Contact form submissions: We use your information solely to respond to your inquiry.

Reviews and comments: If you leave a book review or comment visible to other readers, we may feature it on the Site or in other marketing materials. You can request removal at any time by contacting us.

Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

Affiliate Disclosure
The Site contains affiliate links to products and services we genuinely recommend. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, a cookie is placed on your device to track the referral, and Christina Garner may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. All affiliate relationships are carefully selected based on our positive experience with the provider. Christina Garner is an Amazon Associate and earns commissions from qualifying purchases.

Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

Right to access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to correct: You can ask us to update inaccurate information.

Right to delete: You can request that we delete your personal data.

Right to opt out: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link provided in each email, or contact us directly.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. Newsletter data is stored on secure servers, and we limit access to personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please get in touch so we can delete it.
