Seed Idea Press

Effective date: 20 September 2026

Seed Idea Press, operated by John K. Bell (“Seed Idea Press”, “we”, “us” or “our”), respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and share personal information when you visit seedideapress.com, contact us, join our reader list, request a download, or otherwise use our website.

1. Who is responsible for your information?

Seed Idea Press is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. For privacy questions or requests, contact us at info@seedidea.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide. Depending on how you use the site, we may collect your first and last name, email address, phone number, subject and message, and any other information you choose to include in a contact request. When you join a reader list or request reader content, we collect your email address and, where a form asks for them, your name or phone number.

Information collected automatically. We record basic technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device information, referring page, requested page, form page, and timestamps. We use this for security, abuse prevention, service operation and aggregate site analytics.

Cookies and similar technologies. The site uses necessary cookies for security, sessions and site functionality. With your choices, it may also use analytics or other non-essential technologies. Our cookie preference tool lets you accept, reject or customise optional categories. Your preferences are stored so we can respect them on later visits.

3. How we use information

  • To provide and maintain the website, books, downloads and reader resources.
  • To respond to contact requests and support enquiries.
  • To send newsletters, book news, updates and requested reader content when you subscribe or request it.
  • To prevent spam, fraud, abuse and unauthorised access.
  • To understand site performance and improve content and services, where permitted by your consent or applicable law.
  • To comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

4. Email communications

If you join a reader list, we use your email address to send the content and updates described on the relevant form. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe option. You can also contact us at info@seedidea.com to stop marketing messages. We may retain a suppression record so we do not send you unwanted email again.

5. Service providers and sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only where reasonably necessary to operate the site, including with hosting and infrastructure providers, email delivery providers, security and analytics providers, and professional advisers where required. Our email delivery is handled through Amazon Web Services (AWS) services configured for the site. We may also disclose information where required by law or necessary to protect our rights, users or the public.

The site links to third-party services, including Amazon pages for books and other external resources. Those services have their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control their data practices.

6. Google Fonts and external content

The site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser may connect to Google’s servers to retrieve those font files. External links and services may also set their own cookies or collect information when you leave our site.

7. Retention and security

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, including legal, accounting, security and dispute-resolution needs. Contact submissions and subscription records are stored in the site’s application database. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction or deletion of your information, restriction or objection to certain processing, data portability, or withdrawal of consent. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority. To make a request, email info@seedidea.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

9. Children

This website is not directed at children under the age at which they can consent to online services in their location. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or legal obligations change. The effective date above shows when it was last updated. Material changes will be communicated on the website where appropriate.
