Privacy Policy
Short version: we collect what you give us, we don't sell it, and we don't pretend to be sorry about cookies that keep the site working.
What we collect
If you choose to give us information, we collect it. That means:
- Your name and email if you fill in the contact form
- Your email if you sign up for the newsletter
- Whatever you write in the message box (please don't write your bank details there)
- Basic anonymised browsing data (which pages you visited, roughly where you came from)
We don't collect anything from you just by visiting the site that we wouldn't tell you about. No hidden tracking. No selling your data to data brokers. We don't have time for that and neither do you.
Why we collect it
- To reply to you if you contacted us
- To send you the occasional email if you signed up
- To know whether the site is working and people are reading it
That's it. That's the whole list.
Cookies
The site uses small text files called cookies. They remember tiny things — like whether you've already dismissed the cookie banner — so the site doesn't ask you again every time you visit. They're necessary for the site to function. We don't use advertising cookies or third-party tracking.
Who else sees your data
Our site is hosted on Vercel, and we use Resend to send you the quotes PDF and any emails you signed up for. Both process this data on our behalf and have their own privacy practices. We don't share your information with anyone else — not advertisers, not "partners," not anyone you didn't agree to.
Your rights
You can:
- Unsubscribe from any email at any time
- Ask us to delete any information we have about you
- Ask us what we have about you
- Tell us to stop emailing you and we will, immediately
Email hello@mybadbook.com for any of the above. We respond within a few days. Often grumpily, but always within a few days.
Children
This site and the book are for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update this page. Big changes (like — we don't know — suddenly selling your data, which we wouldn't do) would also be flagged on the homepage.

Privacy questions? Email hello@mybadbook.com. We're a small operation. There isn't a legal team. There's just us, doing our best.
