The fine print

Privacy Policy

Last updated November 14, 2026

This policy explains what information Dynamic Patterns Press, operated by Dynamic Patterns ("we", "us", or "our"), collects through the website at https://press.dynamicpatterns.com (the "Site") and what we do with it.

What information do we collect?

You may visit the Site without telling us who you are. The only personal information we ask for is your email address, and only if you choose to join our announcement list.

Like most websites, the server that hosts the Site may keep standard logs of visits, such as IP address, browser type, the pages requested, and the time of the request.

We also use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregate information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are viewed, roughly where visitors are located, and what type of device and browser they use. This information does not identify you personally.

What do we use your information for?

• To send announcements: if you join the announcement list, we use your email address to send occasional news about new books and other news from the press.
• To respond to you: if you write to us, we use your email address to reply.
• To keep the Site running: server logs help us maintain and secure the Site.
• To understand and improve the Site: analytics show us which pages are useful and how people find us.

Every announcement email will include a way to unsubscribe. You may also ask to be removed at any time using the contact information below.

Buying our books

We do not sell books directly or process payments on the Site. Links to buy our books take you to third-party retailers such as Amazon and IngramSpark. Your order, payment, and shipping details are collected by that retailer under its own privacy policy and terms.

How do we protect your information?

The Site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Email addresses on the announcement list are stored with our web host or with the email service we use to send announcements, and access is limited to the people who run the press.

Do we use cookies?

The Site does not set cookies of its own and does not show advertising. It does use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, which sets cookies in your browser to recognize repeat visits and measure how the Site is used. Google receives information such as your IP address, browser, device, and the pages you view. We do not combine this with your email address or any other information that identifies you, and we do not use Google Analytics for advertising.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Google's handling of analytics data is described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

The Site also loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google's servers when a page loads; Google's handling of that request is covered by Google's privacy policy.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating the Site, analyzing its use, or sending our announcements, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety.

Children's privacy

We publish books for children, but the Site and the announcement list are intended for parents and other adults. In keeping with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 years of age. If we learn that a child under 13 has given us an email address, we will delete it.

Removing your information

You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information. To do so:

1. Send an email to press at dynamicpatterns.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request".
2. Include the email address you signed up with.
3. We will process your request and delete your information within 30 days.

Online privacy policy only

This privacy policy applies only to information collected through the Site and not to information collected offline.

Your consent

By using the Site, you consent to this privacy policy.

Changes to our privacy policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page and update the date above.
