Effective October 24, 2026
Drew McKissick operates DrewMcKissick.com. This notice explains how information is handled when you browse this site, contact us, subscribe to the newsletter, or follow a book link. For privacy questions or requests, email drew@drewmckissick.com.
Information you provide
The contact form asks for your name, email address and message; a phone number is optional. We use this information to respond to your inquiry, including questions about books, speaking or media appearances. Please do not include sensitive information that is unnecessary for your request.
The newsletter form collects your email address to send the newsletter and associated resources. The site uses GoDaddy Email Marketing to process subscriptions and deliver email. You can unsubscribe through the link in a newsletter or contact us at the address above. This notice does not change your subscription preferences.
Website analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which sources and campaigns bring visitors to the site, which pages and book resources they view, and whether they follow links to outside retailers. Analytics can collect page addresses and titles, referring sites, campaign parameters, browser and device information, approximate location, page views, scrolling, outbound-link clicks and file-download events. Cookies distinguish browsers and sessions. Google receives an IP address when a request reaches its servers; Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses.
We do not intentionally send contact-form contents, names, email addresses or phone numbers to Google Analytics. Form interaction, site-search and video-event measurement are not enabled. We do not use this Analytics property for advertising personalization, remarketing, Google signals or cross-service advertising data sharing.
Analytics uses a US-style opt-out setting: it may run when you visit, before you dismiss a notice. You can change the site’s cookie choices using the privacy controls described in our Cookie Policy. A saved opt-out applies to that browser and device. The site is configured to respect recognized Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Deleting cookies or using another browser or device can require you to make your choice again. Blocking scripts or cookies may also prevent measurement.
We also use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors navigate the site, including clicks, scrolling, heatmaps and session replays, so we can improve the layout and promotion of our books and newsletter. Clarity receives technical and usage information and can use first-party and third-party cookies. Microsoft masks input fields and dropdown contents. Our cookie controls send your choices to Clarity; when consent is denied, limited cookie-free measurement may continue. Microsoft processes data under its own terms, including uses described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement, which explains its analytics and advertising practices.
Books, outside links and embedded services
The current book purchase links send you to Amazon. The site does not process those purchases or receive your payment-card details through those links. An outbound click tells us that a retailer link was followed; it does not confirm a purchase.
The site loads Google Fonts and includes YouTube videos. The Embedded services choice blocks YouTube players. Google Fonts loads with the site’s styles and is not disabled by that choice. Those providers receive technical information when their resources load and may use their own cookies or other technologies. Their processing is governed by their policies and the choices available through their services. Social-profile and retailer links take you to independently operated websites. See Google’s Privacy Policy and the privacy notices of any outside site you visit.
Service providers and other disclosures
Information is processed by services needed to host and operate the website, deliver contact messages and newsletters, provide embedded resources, and produce analytics. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect the website or respond to lawful requests. Service providers may process information in the United States or other countries.
Retention and your choices
We retain contact and subscription information for the purposes described above, including managing requests and subscription choices, subject to applicable recordkeeping requirements. Analytics data is subject to the property’s retention settings; cookies have the lifetimes described in the Cookie Policy. You can use your browser controls to delete or block cookies.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information, or to object to particular processing. Email drew@drewmckissick.com with your request. We may need information sufficient to verify and respond to it; do not send a password or payment-card number.
Updates
We may update this notice as the site’s services or practices change. The effective date above identifies the latest version.
