1. Information We Collect

  • Usage data: pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URL, and navigation patterns.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

3. Publishing Blueprint Scoring

When you submit a Publishing Blueprint, your responses are scored across five dimensions (manuscript readiness, publishing readiness, platform readiness, ecosystem potential, and client fit) to help us determine the most appropriate engagement pathway. These scores are internal tools used solely by Chris Greer Press for evaluation purposes. Scores are never shared with you or third parties, and they do not constitute a publishing commitment or guarantee of service.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: We use third-party services to operate the Site, including Vercel (hosting), Supabase (database), and Resend (email delivery). These providers process data on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect your information.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or the rights of others.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:

  • Blueprint submissions: retained for up to 3 years from submission, or until you request deletion.
  • Contact inquiries: retained for up to 2 years.
  • Newsletter subscriptions: retained until you unsubscribe.
  • Analytics data: retained in anonymized form indefinitely.

6. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS), secure database access controls, and row-level security policies. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
