PRIVACY POLICY

Whole Heart Publishing

Last updated: June 13, 2026

Whole Heart Publishing ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at wholeheartpublishing.com (the "Site") and uses an internal content-publishing tool (the "Publishing Tool") to post our own book-promotion content to social media accounts we own or are authorized to manage. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. If you have any questions, contact us at support@wholeheartpublishing.com.

1. Information We Collect

a. Information you give us through the Site.

The only personal information we actively collect from visitors is what you choose to submit through our contact form — typically your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

b. Information collected automatically.

Like most websites, our servers may automatically receive standard technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed — through ordinary server logs. We use this only to keep the Site secure and functioning.

c. Information from connected social accounts (Publishing Tool).

When we connect one of our own social media accounts to our Publishing Tool through the platform's official authorization (for example, TikTok's OAuth), we access only what is needed to publish content: basic account information (such as the account's ID, display name, and avatar), permission to upload and publish videos, and the access/refresh tokens issued by the platform. We do not access private messages, contacts, or follower data.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries you send through the contact form;

• Operate, secure, and maintain the Site; and

• Publish our own content to social media accounts we own or manage.

We do not use contact-form information for marketing unless you have separately asked to hear from us, and we do not use social-account access for any purpose other than publishing our own content.

3. What We Do Not Do

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

• We do not share your information with third parties, except trusted service providers (such as email, hosting, and infrastructure) acting on our behalf and bound to protect it, or where required by law.

• We do not use social-platform data for advertising or profiling, consistent with each platform's developer terms.

4. Cookies

Our Site may use cookies that are necessary for basic functionality. If we use analytics to understand general, aggregated Site usage, that information is not used to identify you personally. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

5. Data Security

We protect the information we hold using industry-standard safeguards, restrict access to authorized personnel, and transmit data over encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to respond to and document your inquiry. We retain social-account identifiers and tokens only while an account remains connected to our Publishing Tool, and delete them when the connection is removed or upon request. You may revoke our Publishing Tool's access to any connected account at any time through that platform's settings (for TikTok: Settings → Security & permissions → Manage app permissions). To request deletion of your information, email support@wholeheartpublishing.com.

7. Third-Party Platforms (including TikTok)

Our access to, use of, and transfer of information received from third-party platform APIs (including the TikTok APIs) adheres to those platforms' developer terms and policies. Account holders may withdraw authorization at any time through their platform settings.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Site and content may link to third-party websites or platforms that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

10. Children

Our Site and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent version.
