This page explains what information this website collects, how it’s used, and the choices you have. We’ve kept it simple and specific to what this site actually does — not a generic template.
Who We Are
This website, theshepherdholds.com, is operated by Gary Shayne Huston under Elaidia Publishing, Des Moines, Iowa.
Email Sign-Up
If you enter your email address to be notified when the book is available, that email is stored using Hostinger Reach, a third-party email service. We use it only to send you updates about The Shepherd Holds, such as launch notifications. We do not sell or share your email address with anyone else. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send.
Contact Form
If you use the contact form on this site (for example, on the Speaking page), we collect your name, email address, and the message you send us. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list unless you separately sign up for email updates.
Cookies and Site Performance
This site uses a caching tool (LiteSpeed Cache) to help pages load faster. This does not track you personally or collect identifying information — it simply stores a temporary copy of page content to improve performance.
Third-Party Services
This site is hosted by Hostinger and uses Hostinger Reach for email communication. These services may process technical data (such as IP addresses) as part of standard web hosting and email delivery. We encourage you to review Hostinger’s own privacy policy for more detail on how they handle data.
Data Retention
We keep your email address (if you sign up for updates) until you unsubscribe or request removal. Contact form submissions are kept only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry.
Your Rights
You can request to see what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing us at the address below.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and revise the date at the top.
