Welcome to Reading Under the Northern Lights! Your privacy matters deeply to me, and this policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you visit the site. I aim to keep this simple, honest, and easy to understand.
1. Who I Am
This website (www.readingunderthenorthernlights.com) is run by Kerri, a Canadian blogger who shares book reviews, reading reflections, and cozy literary content.
If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach me at: underthenorthernlights@outlook.com.
2. Information Collected
I only collect the minimum information necessary to run this site and connect with readers. This may include:
-
Personal information you provide directly — such as your name and email address when you comment on a post, subscribe to a newsletter, or contact me.
-
Non-personal data collected automatically — such as your browser type, device, IP address, and referring website, which are standard analytics details collected by most sites.
3. How Information Is Used
Information collected on this site may be used to:
-
Respond to comments, questions, or emails.
-
Send newsletters or updates (only if you choose to subscribe).
-
Improve site performance, content, and reader experience through analytics.
I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone.
4. Cookies and Analytics
Like most websites, Reading Under the Northern Lights uses cookies — small files that store information about your visit to make the site load faster and remember your preferences.
I may also use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which posts are most popular). These tools collect anonymous data only and do not identify individual visitors.
You can disable cookies anytime through your browser settings if you prefer.
5. Affiliate Links
Some posts on this site contain affiliate links (for example, links to books on Amazon, Bookshop, or other retailers).
If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links help support the site and allow me to keep sharing bookish content.
Affiliate partners may also use cookies to track purchases for commission purposes.
6. Embedded Content and Third-Party Links
Blog posts may include embedded content (like book covers, videos, or Instagram posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you’ve visited those sites directly.
Those websites may collect data or use cookies, so I recommend checking their privacy policies as well.
7. Data Protection
I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. However, no online system is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute protection of data transmitted through the internet.
8. Your Rights
You have the right to:
-
Request access to any personal data I hold about you.
-
Ask for corrections or deletions of that data.
-
Unsubscribe from any emails or newsletters at any time.
9. Legal Compliance
This policy complies with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applies to Canadian and international visitors.
If privacy laws change in the future (such as with the proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act, CRPA), this policy will be updated accordingly.
10. Updates to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
