Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Aladyne Reads (aladyne.com) handles information when you visit the site. It’s a small book-review affiliate site covering Audible, Kindle, and print. Last updated: October 5, 2026.

Who we are

Aladyne Reads is a personal blog about books worth your time — Audible, Kindle, or print. The site is operated by the owner of Aladyne Reads.

Amazon Associates

Aladyne Reads is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and related sites. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Links to Amazon or Audible may include my affiliate tag (aladyne02-20). If you buy through those links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

What information is collected

Comments. If you leave a comment, WordPress typically collects the data shown in the comment form (such as name, email address, and website), plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

Cookies. Visiting the site may set cookies that WordPress or plugins use for basic functions — for example, remembering that you left a comment, logging in if you have an account, or keeping a session active. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

Contact. If you reach out through comments or another method I provide on the Contact page, I’ll use what you send only to respond.

Analytics and plugins. The site may use common WordPress plugins for SEO, caching, forms, and spam protection. Some of those tools may process basic technical data (such as pages visited or IP-related signals) according to their own policies. I only mention tools that may be installed on this site; I do not sell your personal information.

How long we keep data

Comments and related metadata may remain indefinitely so follow-up comments can stay in context and spam can be recognized. If you have an account on this site, we store the personal information you provide in your profile.

Your rights

You can request to receive the personal data we hold about you, or ask that we erase it, where applicable. That usually includes data you have given us in comments or a profile. Contact me via the methods on the Contact page.

Embedded content and outbound links

Posts may include embedded content or links to other sites (including Amazon and Audible). Those sites may collect data about you as if you visited them directly. I am not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes

I may update this page from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when I do.
