Privacy Policy

Website: theadventureofscottandlenny.com

This Privacy Policy explains how Leonard Serratore (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit theadventureofscottandlenny.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Information you provide directly:

  • Name and email address when you submit our Contact Us form
  • Entries you submit through our Play & Win page (name, email address, and any other details required to participate)
  • Any other information you choose to share with us, such as testimonials or feedback

Information collected automatically:

  • Standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited, collected through cookies and similar technologies (e.g., via our hosting provider or analytics tools)

We do not knowingly collect payment card information directly; if you purchase the book through a third-party retailer, that transaction is handled by the retailer’s own systems, not by us.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to messages sent through the Contact Us form
  • Administer the Play & Win promotion, including selecting and notifying winners
  • Improve the Site and understand how visitors use it
  • Send occasional updates about the book, blog, or related news, if you’ve opted in
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Information Related to Purchases

Direct purchases on this Site: If you purchase a copy of The Adventure of Scott and Lenny directly through this Site, payment is processed through PayPal. When you check out, PayPal collects and processes your payment information (such as card or bank details) directly; this Site does not receive or store your full payment card details. We may receive limited transaction information from PayPal, such as your name, email address, shipping address (if applicable), and purchase details, in order to fulfill your order and provide customer support. PayPal’s own Privacy Policy governs how it handles your payment information.

Purchases through third-party retailers: If you purchase a copy of The Adventure of Scott and Lenny through a third-party retailer, such as Amazon, via a link from this Site, that transaction takes place entirely on the retailer’s website and is governed by that retailer’s own privacy policy. We do not receive your payment or order information from those purchases.

4. Cookies

The Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences and understand how the Site is used. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not work as intended if you do.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., web hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing)
  • Law enforcement or regulators, if required by law
  • A successor entity, in the event of a sale or transfer of the business

We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party sites, including Facebook and Instagram. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of marketing communications. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

9. Children's Privacy

While the book itself is written for young readers, the Site is intended for use by adults (such as parents, guardians, and educators) on behalf of children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
