This Privacy Policy explains how billcusano.com (the "Site") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information only when you choose to provide it:

Email newsletter sign-up. When you sign up to receive news and updates, we collect your email address. This is voluntary.

Contact form. When you send a message through the Site's contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message so we can respond to you.

Automatic data. Like most websites, our hosting platform (Squarespace) automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This data is used for site performance and analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

•       Send you news, book updates, and announcements you have signed up for

•       Respond to messages you send through the contact form

•       Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Third-Party Services

The Site is built on Squarespace, which hosts the website and processes email sign-ups. Squarespace may collect technical data as part of providing these services. You can review Squarespace's privacy policy at squarespace.com/privacy.
