Shoreline Stories, LLC · Effective October 28, 2026

This policy explains how Shoreline Stories, LLC handles personal information in connection with www.shorelinestoriesllc.com, our online store, newsletter, and communications. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to bookinfo@shorelinestoriesllc.com.

Information you provide

When you place an order, we collect information needed to process and deliver it, such as your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, order details, and any phone number or personalization instructions you provide. Payment information is handled through the payment services available at checkout; those providers process payment details under their own privacy notices.

When you subscribe to Stories from the Shoreline, contact us, or send a publishing submission, we receive the contact information and content you choose to share. Please do not include sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for your inquiry or submission.

Website information and cookies

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. The platform processes technical and usage information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, pages visited, and referring websites. Cookies and similar technologies support functions such as the shopping cart, security, and site usage measurement. Learn more in Squarespace’s Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and through any cookie preference controls displayed on our website. Blocking cookies may affect checkout and other website features.

How information is used

We use information to fulfill and support orders; arrange shipping; respond to messages and submissions; provide requested newsletters and book news; maintain and improve the website; prevent fraud and misuse; and meet applicable tax, accounting, and legal obligations.

Service providers and disclosures

Information is processed by service providers as needed for website hosting, checkout and payments, shipping, email delivery, and business records. These include Squarespace, the payment provider used for your transaction, and the carrier delivering your order. Providers may also process certain information for their own purposes under their privacy notices. We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal requests, or to protect legal rights and website security.

Email choices

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop necessary order confirmations, shipping notices, or replies to your requests.

Retention and security

Information is retained as needed for the purposes described here, including fulfilling orders, handling inquiries, maintaining required business records, and resolving disputes. Retention depends on the type of information and applicable obligations. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please do not email payment card details.

Your privacy requests

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us at bookinfo@shorelinestoriesllc.com to make a request or appeal a decision. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may need to be retained for legal or transaction-related reasons. You may also have a right to contact your local privacy regulator.

Children’s information

Our purchasing, newsletter, and contact services are intended for adults, including parents and caregivers buying children’s books. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through these services. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and address it.

Other websites and international processing

Links to retailers, social media, and other websites lead to services governed by their own privacy policies. Our business operates in the United States, and service providers may process information in the United States or other countries.

Policy updates and contact

We may update this policy as our website or practices change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
