Privacy Policy
Last updated 19 September 2026
This website is published by Richard Granger and operated by SMCI Media LLC, a Florida limited liability company.
The short version: this is a reading site. There is no account to create and nothing to buy. The one thing you can fill in is the complimentary book form, and it asks only for your email address so we can send you the book.
What we do not do
Most of this policy is a list of things that do not happen here, and it is more useful to be specific than vague:
- We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.
- We do not run advertising, ad pixels or third-party trackers.
- We do not build a profile of you or follow you across other websites.
- We do not set cookies for tracking.
- There are no accounts and no payments on this site.
The complimentary book form
When you ask for a complimentary book we record your email address, which book or books you chose, whether you ticked the box to hear about new books, resources, and special offers, the date and time, and your IP address and browser user agent. We use this to email you the book, to avoid sending the same book twice, and to stop the form being abused by automated requests.
The box is unticked unless you tick it. If you leave it unticked, the only email you get from us is the one carrying your book. If you tick it, we may write to you about new books, resources, and special offers, and every such email tells you how to stop them.
Server logs
This site is delivered by Cloudflare, which processes each request in order to serve the page and to protect against attack and abuse. That involves technical data such as your IP address, the time of the request, the page requested and your browser's user agent string. This is ordinary infrastructure logging and it is not used to identify you.
Measuring which pages get read
We count page views so we know which pages people find useful. The counting is first-party, it is not shared with an advertising network, and it is not used to identify you personally.
Services we rely on
Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site and stores the complimentary book form records. Google Workspace carries our email: the book is sent from info@richard-granger.com through it, and anything you write to us arrives in a mailbox there.
Links to other sites
Some pages link out to other companies. Once you follow a link you are on their site and their privacy policy applies, not this one.
How long we keep things
Infrastructure logs are held on short retention by our hosting provider. A complimentary book form record is kept until you ask us to delete it.
Children
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, tell us and we will delete it.
Your choices
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us and say what you want done. We do not charge for this.
Security and breach notification
We limit who can reach whatever we hold and protect it with the security controls available to us. If a security incident affects personal information, we follow the notification requirements of Florida Statutes section 501.171, including notifying affected individuals within the time the statute allows.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date at the top.
