Privacy Policy

Effective October 14, 2026. Vitaly Kirkpatrick operates VitalyBook.com (the site). This policy explains what we collect and why.

What we collect. If you join the reading list, we collect your email address and the book you are waiting for. If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address and message. We use them to reply to you and to send the notes you asked for (one note when a book has a date, one when it is on sale). Every email has an unsubscribe link. We do not sell your email address.

Analytics and cookies. Some pages use Google Analytics 4 to measure visits; see the Cookies page.

Service providers. Google Analytics (website analytics on some pages), Cloudflare (website security and email address protection), Google Fonts (fonts), YouTube (links and videos) and CloviAble (an optional accessibility tool). We do not use third-party advertising.

No sale of data. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising. If you are a California resident, you may ask what we collect, ask us to delete it, and opt out of any sale or sharing; we do none of these things for money, and we treat a Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out.

Children. The site is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your choices. You may ask us to show, correct or delete the information you sent us. To ask, use the contact form or email [email protected]. We respond within 45 days.

Retention. We keep contact messages and list signups until you ask us to delete them or you unsubscribe.

Changes. We will post any change here and update the date above.
