Privacy Policy

Information You Provide

You may choose to provide personal information when you contact Beautiful Judgment or join the Founding List. The current Founding List form asks for your email address. Please provide only the information necessary for your request.

Beautiful Judgment uses MailerLite to operate the Founding List and deliver email communications. When you voluntarily join, the email address you submit is transmitted to and processed by MailerLite for subscription management and email delivery.

Information Collected Automatically

The website and the service providers that support it may automatically receive limited technical or usage information when you visit. This may include an internet protocol address, browser or device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, date and time of access, approximate location derived from an internet protocol address, and security or error logs.

Beautiful Judgment uses Google Analytics 4 to understand website usage and performance. Depending on your device, settings, location, and consent choices, analytics information may include pages viewed, interactions with the website, general location derived from network information, device and browser information, referral or campaign information, and analytics identifiers or similar technologies.

How Information May Be Used

Information may be used to:

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• respond to inquiries or requests;
• manage Founding List subscriptions and provide requested newsletters or publication updates;
• understand general website usage and diagnose technical problems; and
• comply with legal obligations and protect rights, safety, and security.

Service Providers

Service providers may process information on behalf of Beautiful Judgment when they provide website hosting, security, technical support, analytics, email delivery, or related operational services. Current relevant providers include Google, which provides Google Analytics 4, and MailerLite, which provides subscription management and email delivery. Their processing is also governed by their own terms and privacy practices. You may review Google’s Privacy Policy and MailerLite’s Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, analytics identifiers, or similar technologies for necessary functionality, security, remembering privacy choices, and analytics. Google Analytics storage is controlled through the website’s analytics-consent settings where consent is required. Visitors may accept or decline nonessential analytics and may revisit that choice through “Privacy Choices” in the footer. Declining analytics does not prevent access to the website. Your browser may also allow you to limit or delete cookies.

Your Choices and Privacy Requests

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you. You may submit a request to hello@beautifuljudgment.com. Reasonable steps may be taken to verify a request before acting on it, and certain information may be retained where permitted or required by law.

Subscribers may unsubscribe from Founding List marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism included in those communications. You may also request removal from marketing communications through hello@beautifuljudgment.com. Administrative or transactional messages may still be sent when necessary.

Third-Party Links

The website may link to third-party websites, including book retailers. Beautiful Judgment does not control those websites or their privacy practices. Review the privacy policy of any third party before providing information or completing a transaction.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. Beautiful Judgment does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, contact hello@beautifuljudgment.com so the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

Security and Retention

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures are used to protect information in light of its nature and the services involved. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining a requested subscription, resolving disputes, protecting the website, and meeting applicable legal obligations. Retention may also depend on the settings and practices of the service providers described above.
