GrantHolleran.com is designed to collect as little personal information as reasonably practical. Most of the site can be used without providing personal information.
This policy explains what information may be handled when you use the site, send a message through the Contact page, or follow a link to another service.
Information You Provide
If you use the Contact form, you may provide your name, email address, the topic of your message, an optional book or page reference, and the message itself.
This information is used to understand and handle your inquiry. That may include answering a reader or book question, reviewing a correction, addressing a website issue, or handling a business or media inquiry.
Please do not send passwords, recovery codes, payment details, passport information, medical information, or other sensitive personal information through the Contact form.
Contact Form Processing
The Contact form is processed using Netlify Forms.
Form submissions are stored through Netlify's service and may be filtered for spam using Netlify's spam-protection systems, including Akismet.
GrantHolleran.com does not use a Contact submission to automatically enroll you in a newsletter or marketing list.
Form submissions may be reviewed and deleted when they are no longer needed.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, requests for pages, images, and other site resources can generate routine technical information at hosting, network, and security providers.
Depending on the service involved, this information may include an IP address, browser or device information, the resource requested, routing information, and other technical details needed to deliver, secure, or troubleshoot the site.
GrantHolleran.com does not use this routine technical information to build advertising profiles about visitors.
Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
GrantHolleran.com does not currently include site analytics, advertising trackers, marketing pixels, or nonessential tracking cookies in its own site code.
The site does not currently use visitor information for behavioral advertising.
Infrastructure providers may use technical mechanisms needed to operate, secure, and deliver their services according to their own privacy practices.
If the site's use of analytics, advertising technology, cookies, embedded services, or similar technologies changes, this policy should be updated to reflect those changes.
How Information Is Used
Information associated with the site may be used to:
- understand and handle messages sent through the Contact page
- investigate corrections or website problems

Service Providers
GrantHolleran.com relies on service providers to operate and deliver parts of the site.
Netlify is used for website hosting and Contact form processing.
Cloudflare is used for site media delivery and may also provide related network or infrastructure services.
These providers may process technical or submitted information as needed to provide their services and operate under their own privacy terms and policies.
External Links
GrantHolleran.com contains links to websites and services operated by other organizations, including Amazon.
When you follow an external link, you leave GrantHolleran.com. Information you provide to, or activity that occurs on, another website is governed by that service's own terms and privacy practices.
A link to another website does not mean that personal information submitted through the GrantHolleran.com Contact form is sent to that website.
Sale of Personal Information
GrantHolleran.com does not sell personal information.
Data Retention
Contact-form information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary to handle the inquiry, maintain necessary records, resolve problems or disputes, protect the site, or satisfy applicable legal obligations.
Submissions that are no longer needed are periodically deleted.
Service providers may maintain technical or operational information according to their own retention practices.
Children
GrantHolleran.com is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children.
The site does not knowingly seek personal information from children through its Contact form.
Privacy Questions and Requests
If you have a question about this policy, personal information you previously submitted through the Contact form, or a request concerning that information, use the Contact page and choose Other as the message topic.
Depending on the request and applicable law, additional information may be needed to understand or appropriately handle the request.
Do not send sensitive identification documents or other sensitive information through the Contact form.
