Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This policy explains what information Two Squirrels Press collects through use of twosquirrelspress.com, and what happens to it.
What Two Squirrels Press collects
- Your name, email address, and message, when you submit the contact form.
- Your name, email address, manuscript file, author bio, a description of your submission, the title or call it’s for, and a headshot if you provide one, when you submit the submissions form.
- Your email address and order details, when you buy a book. Your payment details (card number and so on) go directly to Stripe, our payment processor — they never touch Two Squirrels Press’s own servers. Two Squirrels Press only ever receives your email address, which book you bought, and confirmation that the payment succeeded.
This site doesn’t run a newsletter, and doesn’t use third-party analytics, ad trackers, or tracking pixels. Checkout with Stripe is the one third-party service in the loop, and it’s there because payment processing and tax compliance genuinely can’t be handled responsibly by a small press running its own servers.
Why Two Squirrels Press collects it
- To respond to messages sent through the contact form.
- To evaluate submissions sent through the submissions form.
- To fulfill book purchases (send your download link) and handle any refund requests.
What Two Squirrels Press doesn’t do
- Two Squirrels Press doesn’t sell or rent your information to anyone.
- Two Squirrels Press doesn’t share it with third parties except the infrastructure providers necessary to run this site, deliver that email, and process a payment — currently: Stripe, for payment processing — none of whom get to use it for their own purposes.
Your control over it
- Deletion: reach out through the contact form and Two Squirrels Press will delete your information from these systems. (Stripe keeps its own transaction records as required by law and its own policies — that retention isn’t something Two Squirrels Press controls.)
Security
Most of your information is stored on infrastructure Two Squirrels Press controls directly. The one exception is payment processing: Stripe, acting as merchant of record, handles your card details and tax compliance directly, and Two Squirrels Press never sees or stores your card number. That doesn’t make any of this invulnerable — no system is — but it does mean there’s exactly one clearly accountable party for each piece of your data.
Changes
