How we handle your data
Privacy Policy
Short version: we collect an email address if you give us one, we use standard tools to run a checkout and see whether the page works, and we do not sell anything about you to anyone. The long version is below, because "trust us" is not a privacy policy.
What we never see: nothing you write inside The Finder's Book. The PDFs are files on your device. They do not sync, phone home, or transmit anything. We have no access to your entries, and there is no server where they could be stored.
Who we are
Joanne Godfrey and Michael David Warren Jr., publishers of The Finder's Book — The Family Clarity System™. Contact: warrenjrmd@gmail.com. We are the data controller for the information described here.
What we collect, and why
| Data | When | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address, optional first name | When you request the Family Readiness Gap Check or subscribe | To send the checklist and occasional notes about the book | Consent |
| Order details — email, purchase amount, product, country for tax | At checkout | To deliver your files, provide support, and meet tax obligations | Contract & legal obligation |
| Usage data — pages viewed, buttons clicked, referring source, approximate region, device type | While browsing the site | To understand which parts of the page help and which confuse | Consent or legitimate interest, depending on your region |
| Support correspondence | When you email us | To answer you and keep a record of the issue | Legitimate interest |
We do not ask for, want, or store: passwords, PINs, recovery codes, full account numbers, Social Security numbers, or medical records. If you email any of those to us by accident, we will delete the message and tell you we did.
Payment information
We never see your card number. Checkout is handled by Payhip and its payment processors. Your card details go directly to them and are never transmitted to or stored by us. We receive only the order confirmation: what was bought, for how much, and the email to deliver it to.
Who processes data on our behalf
| Processor | Role | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Payhip | Checkout, payment, file delivery | Email, order and payment details |
| MailerLite | Email delivery and list management | Email, optional first name, engagement |
| Vercel Web Analytics | Privacy-focused page and conversion measurement | Page path, referrer, approximate region, device type, and named site events |
| Our hosting provider | Serving the website | Standard server logs |
Each operates under its own privacy terms and processes data on our instructions. If a tool listed above is not currently active on the site, no data flows to it.
What we do not do
- We do not sell personal information. We never have.
- We do not share your email with other companies or publishers.
- We do not build advertising profiles about individuals.
- We do not send email to people who did not ask for it.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses a small number of cookies and browser-storage entries:
- Session storage holds campaign parameters (such as
utm_source) for the length of your visit, so we can tell which channel sent you. It is cleared when you close the tab. - Vercel Web Analytics measures aggregate page views and named site events without setting analytics cookies by default.
- No advertising pixel is currently active on this site.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them; only the measurement stops.
How long we keep things
- Email subscribers: until you unsubscribe, then removed within 30 days.
- Order records: as long as tax and accounting law requires, typically 7 years.
- Analytics: in aggregate, per the provider's retention settings.
- Support email: up to 24 months, then deleted.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you may ask us to:
- Tell you what personal information we hold about you
- Correct anything inaccurate
- Delete it
- Send you a copy in a portable format
- Stop using it for a particular purpose
- Withdraw consent at any time
Email warrenjrmd@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days and we do not charge for this.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA)
You have the right to know what we collect, to delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA, so there is no "Do Not Sell" mechanism to operate — there is nothing to opt out of. We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
UK and EU residents (UK GDPR / GDPR)
You have the rights listed above, plus the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — the ICO in the UK, or your national data protection authority in the EU. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out.
Email you receive from us
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer. It works immediately. Transactional messages — your receipt and your download link — are sent because you bought something, and are not marketing.
International transfers
Our processors may store data in the United States and elsewhere. Where data leaves the UK or EEA, transfers rely on the safeguards our processors maintain, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
Children
This site and product are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us their details, email us and we will delete them.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Payment data never touches our systems. Access to the email list is limited to the two of us. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not claim otherwise — but we have deliberately designed this so that the sensitive material stays on your device rather than ours.
Changes
If we change this policy we update the date at the top. Material changes affecting how we use your information will be emailed to subscribers before they take effect.
