BRIARCRYPT BOOKS

Privacy & information collected

Last updated: October 28, 2026

This notice explains how Briarcrypt Books handles information when you browse this storefront, make an offer, contact us, or use an available checkout flow. Questions or privacy requests: support@briarcrypt.com.

Information you provide

Offers collect your email address, the selected book, offer amount, and any optional note. We also keep the offer’s status, seller decisions, timestamps, and technical identifiers needed to retrieve it and prevent duplicate requests. Messages you send us may include your name, contact details, and correspondence.

When a checkout flow is available, it may collect a delivery address, selected shipping method, order and payment references, totals, payment or refund status, recipient name and a contact email for order support. Optional order emails cover receipts, shipping and refunds, not marketing. Use only the payment methods offered by the current checkout. The separately authorized $1 payment-only check does not involve a book or shipment.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting and security provider, Cloudflare, may process IP addresses, browser and device information, request times, requested pages, and security events to deliver and protect the site. Store records also include inventory changes and operational audit information. Short-lived keyed identifiers and request counts protect quotation services; raw IP addresses are not stored in those quotation counters. This storefront does not currently use advertising trackers, third-party visitor analytics, or marketing signup forms.

Browser storage, cookies & private links

Offer drafts, including your email and optional note, and private offer receipt links are saved in this tab’s session storage so refresh does not lose your work. Checkout may save address drafts and order references in this tab. Use the form’s Clear control to remove an unsubmitted draft; this does not delete information already submitted. Closing the tab normally ends that tab’s storage, but browser session restoration may restore it. On shared devices, clear site data when finished.

Private offer and payment-test links grant access to their associated flow; do not share them publicly. Cloudflare administrator sign-in and payment providers may use cookies or similar security storage under their own notices.

How information is used & shared

We use information to review and respond to offers, answer questions, operate available checkout and refund flows, maintain records, and prevent fraud or duplicate transactions. Offer details, including your email and note, are visible to authorized store administrators and included in the seller’s email alert.

Service providers process information needed for their role: Cloudflare for hosting, database storage and administrator access; Google/Gmail for seller alerts, requested order updates and correspondence; and Stripe for enabled payment flows. PayPal processes payment details when it is offered at checkout. Carrier, postal-validation and fulfillment services receive the address or postal details needed to validate postal information, quote shipping or arrange a shipment. We may disclose records when required by law or to protect against fraud. We do not sell your personal information or use offer submissions to enroll you in marketing.

Payment information

Card details are entered with the payment provider, not stored by this storefront. We keep payment references and status, not full card numbers or security codes. Payment providers handle their own transaction and fraud-prevention information. See Stripe’s privacy notice, PayPal’s privacy statement, and Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Retention, security & your choices

We retain information as needed for offers, support, transactions, security, and applicable recordkeeping obligations. Retention depends on the record and purpose; we do not promise immediate or automatic deletion. Contact support@briarcrypt.com to ask about access, correction, or deletion. We may need to verify your request and retain records required for legal, accounting, dispute, or fraud-prevention purposes. Rights vary by location.

We use restricted administrator access and hosted security controls, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. Please do not put card numbers, passwords, government identifiers, or other sensitive information in an offer note or email. The store is not directed to children under 13; contact us if you believe a child has supplied personal information.

Changes & other sites

We will update this page when practices change. Linked marketplaces and other third-party services have their own policies; eBay’s privacy and buyer-protection programs do not govern purchases on this storefront. Read our Terms & Conditions for store-use and purchase information.
