Privacy Policy
Effective September 24, 2026.
Introduction
Custom Photo Books is designed to collect as little visitor information as practical. This policy describes the information the site may receive, why it is used, and what may happen when you follow a link to another website.
Information you send through the contact form
If you use the Contact page, you may provide your name, email address, and message. The site uses that information to receive, review, and respond to your inquiry, correction, or feedback.
The contact form sends the message by server-side email to a private business inbox. The form is not intended to save submissions in a website database. Messages may remain in the business email system as needed to handle correspondence and maintain appropriate business records.
Do not send passwords, payment-card information, medical information, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form.
Website analytics and cookies
At launch, Custom Photo Books does not use a first-party analytics script and does not intentionally set its own analytics cookies.
If that changes, this policy will be updated to describe the technology actually in use.
Hosting, server logs, and tagged review links
The site is hosted by DreamHost. Like most web hosts, DreamHost automatically processes technical information needed to deliver, secure, measure, and troubleshoot the website. Server logs can include the requested path, query string, IP address, date and time, browser or user-agent information, referrer information, and response status.
Custom Photo Books may use a tagged URL when a partner, affiliate network, or other reviewer is asked to inspect the site. The tag lets us distinguish requests to that specific review link in ordinary server logs. We use that information to confirm that the link was requested and to troubleshoot review or access issues. A server request does not necessarily prove that a particular person personally clicked the link because automated security scanners and bots can also request web pages.
DreamHost currently states that HTTP website logs are retained by default for up to seven days. DreamHost's own privacy policy governs DreamHost's processing.
Outbound provider-link click tracking
Provider links on Custom Photo Books pass through a first-party redirect on this site before sending you to the provider. Each redirect URL includes a provider identifier and a link-location identifier so requests to those links can be counted in the hosting access logs.
Custom Photo Books does not set a cookie or maintain a separate custom click-tracking database for these redirects. The redirect request is recorded as part of DreamHost’s ordinary website access logs described above. Those logs are used to measure provider-link usage and troubleshoot routing.
Current provider links are ordinary non-affiliate links unless a page specifically identifies a monetized relationship. If affiliate links are added later, this policy and the Affiliate Disclosure will continue to describe the tracking and commission relationship in use.
Affiliate and outbound links
Custom Photo Books may use affiliate links. When you follow a link to a photo-book provider, affiliate network, research source, or other outside website, that third party may receive information about your visit. It may also use cookies or other tracking technologies under its own privacy policy.
Affiliate tracking may be used to determine whether a referred visitor completes a purchase and whether Custom Photo Books is eligible for a commission. Affiliate compensation does not determine which services are included or recommended.
Security and backups
Reasonable steps are taken to protect the hosting account, site files, and business accounts, but no internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Custom Photo Books is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13 through the site.
Third-party websites
Other websites linked from Custom Photo Books operate under their own terms and privacy policies. This policy applies only to Custom Photo Books.
Questions or requests
If you have a privacy question or a request concerning information you submitted directly through the site, use the Contact page.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the site's technology, data practices, services, or legal obligations materially change. The effective date at the top will be updated when appropriate.
