Briarwick House
Privacy
This page describes one thing: what happens to a letter you send through the contact form on this site. That form is the only place this website collects anything at all.
What the site itself collects
Nothing. There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixel, no cookie, and no third-party font, script or embed on any page. Reading this site sends nothing about you anywhere.
What the contact form submits
Only what you type into it: a name or pen name if you give one, an email address if you give one, the subject you pick from the list, and your message. Both the name and the email are optional. You can send a letter without either, and it will still be read.
Who handles it
The form is processed by Formspree, an independent form service, which receives your submission, stores it for its own stated retention period so that it can be read, and passes it on to a mailbox used only for Briarwick House correspondence. Formspree's own privacy policy governs what Formspree does; it is linked above and it is worth a minute of your time if this matters to you.
What Briarwick House does with it
Reads it, and replies if you have given an email address and the letter asks for an answer. That is the whole purpose.
Briarwick House does not sell what you send, does not trade or share it with anyone else, and does not add your address to a marketing list. There is no marketing list.
How long it is kept
Formspree keeps submissions for the period stated in its own policy and plan. Separately, Donald may keep a copy of a letter in the Briarwick House mailbox in order to answer it or retain the correspondence. You may request its deletion at any time through this form.
Please do not send sensitive personal information
This is an author's contact form, not a secure channel. Do not send anything about your health, finances, identity documents, or anything else you would not want a third-party service to hold. A letter about a book does not need any of that.
If you want your letter deleted
Ask, through the same form. Pick Something else as the subject and say what you would like removed. If you gave an email address, use the same one so the letter can be matched to the request.
Who this is
Briarwick House is the publishing imprint of Donald G Ammons, an independent author. It is not a company, and correspondence is read by one person. No postal address or personal email address is published here, and the form exists precisely so that you do not need one.
Written in plain language on purpose. It describes what actually happens rather than claiming compliance with every privacy regime in the world, which would be a larger promise than one author can keep.
