Like most websites, the Site automatically collects some technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the links you click, the site that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected using cookies and similar technologies, which are described below.

Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, and learn how visitors use the Site. We use the following tools:
- Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager help us understand how visitors find and use the Site. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Meta Pixel helps us measure how well our Facebook and Instagram posts and ads are working, and may be used to show you relevant content on those platforms. You can manage your ad preferences in your Facebook and Instagram account settings.
- Security tools, including Wordfence and Cloudflare Turnstile, help us block spam and malicious traffic. They may process your IP address and browser information.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work as well if you do.
Newsletters and email
Our newsletters and email lists are managed through third-party email services, including Substack and Mailchimp. When you subscribe, your information is stored with those services and handled under their privacy policies as well as this one. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link at the bottom of any email.
Our shop
Orders placed at shop.katebowler.com are processed using WooCommerce. To fill your order, we share the necessary details, such as your name, shipping address, and the items you ordered, with the partners who help us deliver it. These include our payment processors, our print and fulfillment partner (Printful), our shipping software (ShipStation), and shipping carriers such as USPS.
Embedded content and links to other sites
Some pages include content from other services, such as YouTube videos, podcast players from Omny, Instagram posts, and Substack sign-up forms. This content behaves as if you had visited that service directly. Those services may collect information about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you are logged in to an account with them.
The Site also links to other websites, such as booksellers and podcast apps. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we do not run, and we encourage you to read their policies.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only in these situations:
- With service providers who help us run the Site and our work, such as website hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, order fulfillment, and security. They may use your information only to provide those services to us.
- When required by law, or when needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of our team, our community, or others.
- With your permission, or at your direction.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described here. Form submissions are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain our records. Newsletter information is kept until you unsubscribe. Order records are kept as long as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to or limit how we use it. This includes rights under laws such as the GDPR in Europe, PIPEDA in Canada, and state privacy laws in the United States. To make a request, email us at hello@katebowler.com. We will respond within the time required by law, and we will never treat you differently for making a request.
You can also unsubscribe from our emails at any time, and control cookies through your browser settings.
Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International visitors
The Site is operated from the United States. If you visit from another country, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
