Effective date. January 1, 2025

1. Who manages personal data

JermainePusey.com runs as a personal brand site for Jermaine A. Pusey. Purpose covers books, journals, courses, speaking, and contact.

2. Data collected from you

Data shared directly through forms or email:

  • Name and contact details such as email.

  • Optional context about books, rentals, or speaking needs.

Data from email sign-up boxes:

  • Email address for updates or free lessons.

3. Data collected through analytics

Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 support insight into visitor patterns. These tools receive:

  • Browser type, device type, and rough region.
  • Pages visited and time on each section.
  • Events such as clicks on links or forms.
  • Referral source such as search, social, or direct link.

Data from analytics stays in aggregated form for decisions about layout, content, and performance.

4. Reasons for data use

Personal data supports these goals:

  • Reply to questions and requests with context.
  • Send book news, audio updates, or free lessons after sign-up.
  • Review page performance and remove friction for readers.
  • Protect the site from spam, abuse, and repeated attacks.

5. Forms, FormSubmit, and email handling

Contact and sign-up forms run through FormSubmit.co. FormSubmit forwards messages to inboxes managed by Jermaine A. Pusey and support staff.

Messages receive review for:

  • Support or reply to you.
  • Quality control and training for responses.
  • Follow-up on speaking, consulting, or partnership interest.

For removal of past messages from FormSubmit logs where possible, use the Data Deletion page or send a direct request.

6. Cookies and similar tools

Cookies and similar tags support:

  • Session security.
  • Basic analytics through Google Analytics 4.
  • Better understanding of frequently viewed content.

Browser settings allow control over cookie storage. Many browsers include options to clear cookies or block tracking.

7. Sharing with service partners

Personal data flows to service partners only where needed for core functions:

  • FormSubmit.co for contact forms.
  • Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for traffic insight.
  • Email providers for newsletter delivery when you subscribe.

No sale of personal data to outside marketers. No trade of email lists with other authors or brands.

8. Links to Amazon, Audible, and other platforms

JermainePusey.com links out to Amazon, Audible, Books.by, and other services. Each platform sets its own privacy policy, cookie approach, and terms.

Review partner policies on those platforms for details on orders, reviews, and account-level data.

9. Data storage and retention

Messages from forms move into email inboxes under secure logins. Analytics data stays within Google Analytics accounts for this brand.

Data stays stored for as long as needed for:

  • Ongoing communication with readers and clients.
  • Service records for rentals, consulting, or speaking.
  • Legal or accounting record needs.

When data no longer serves a clear purpose, reasonable steps follow to archive or delete that data.

10. Your choices and rights

You hold these options:

  • Request a summary of personal data held by this brand.
  • Request updates where contact data looks inaccurate.
  • Request removal of personal data where no strong reason for further storage exists.
  • Unsubscribe from email updates at any time through links at the bottom of each message.

For any such request, write to: joinme@jermainepusey.com.

11. Children and young readers

Some books and videos support children and families. Site design, contact forms, and email flows target adults who guide children, such as parents, guardians, and educators.

For parents or guardians who believe personal data about a child appears in stored messages, send a removal request with enough context to locate the entry.

12. Changes to this policy

Privacy expectations, tools, and services shift over time. A new version of this page appears when any material change occurs in data handling.

A fresh effective date at the top signals the latest version. Ongoing use after changes shows agreement with the updated approach.
