Your privacy
The short version: we keep what you choose to send us, use it only to reply, deliver your book or send what you asked for, and never sell or share it. No advertising, no tracking cookies.

Who we are
RJR Books is the bookstore of Ruthven J. Roy. Questions about this page go to hello@roybooks.com.
What you send us
When you ask for a free chapter, ask to hear about a new book, use the contact form, or send a question about a reading, we keep what you type: usually your email, and sometimes your name, the topics you picked, or your message. We use it to reply and to send what you asked for.
Every email we send to the list has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click takes you off.
Buying a book
Payments are handled by Stripe. Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our website. We keep the order (the book, the price, and your email) so we can send your copy and help if a download goes wrong. To see where checkout gets confusing, we note which steps of the payment page a visit reached; that record never includes anything you typed or your IP address.
Counting visits
We count page views ourselves. No Google Analytics, no third party. Each count records the page, the website that sent you, and a scrambled form of your IP address used only to filter out bots; the address itself isn't stored. We set no cookies to do this.
Fonts, images and hosting
Our fonts and pictures come from our own server. Like any website host, it keeps standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and browser types, for security and to keep the site running.
What we never do
We don't sell, rent or trade your information, and we don't use it for advertising. We share it only with Stripe, and only so it can take a payment.
Your choices
You can ask to see what we have about you, correct it, or have it deleted. Email hello@roybooks.com and we'll take care of it. We may keep what the law requires, such as records of payments.
This site is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If how we handle information changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
