Who we are

Packkeeper is a content-based website operated under the BK Author brand. The site provides free-to-read written content, an online store for purchasing material, and related updates.

The website is built on WordPress, uses Elementor for design, and is hosted via Bluehost.

If you have any privacy-related questions, you can contact us at: [email protected]

What data we collect

Packkeeper collects very limited personal data, and only in the following ways:

  • Website analytics data (e.g. page views, time on page, general location)
  • Email subscription data (if you voluntarily sign up)

We do not collect sensitive personal data, payment information, or user-generated content.

Legal basis for processing

We process your data based on legitimate interests, such as operating, maintaining, and improving the Packkeeper website.

Where you subscribe to our email list, we process your data based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time by unsubscribing.

Comments

Packkeeper does not allow comments on any pages or posts.

As a result, no personal data is collected through commenting systems.

Cookies

Packkeeper uses standard cookies to support website functionality and analytics.

These may include:

  • Essential cookies required for website performance
  • Analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site
  • Third-party cookies from tools integrated into the website (e.g. analytics providers)

Cookies may track information such as:

  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on the website
  • General geographic location (not precise)
  • Device and browser type

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Analytics

We use standard website analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with Packkeeper.

This includes:

  • Number of visitors
  • Pages viewed
  • Time spent reading content
  • General demographic insights (e.g. country or region)

This data is aggregated and, where applicable, anonymized, and cannot be used to personally identify you.

Email subscriptions (via MailerLite)

If you choose to subscribe to our mailing list, your data is handled by MailerLite, our email marketing provider.

When you sign up, we may collect:

  • Your email address
  • Your name

MailerLite may also track:

  • Whether emails are opened
  • Links clicked within emails
  • Other standard performance metrics

This is standard email marketing behaviour and is used to improve content and engagement.

Our emails contain storytelling updates and related content only, and do not include adult or sensitive material.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

For more details, see MailerLite’s privacy policy.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

However, limited data may be processed by trusted third-party services required to operate the website:

  • Bluehost (website hosting)
  • WordPress (website platform)
  • Elementor (site builder)
  • Analytics providers (for traffic insights)
  • MailerLite (email subscriptions)

These providers only process data as necessary to deliver their services.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, or articles).

Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These websites may:

  • Collect data about you
  • Use cookies
  • Track your interaction with the content

We do not control how third-party websites handle your data.

Affiliate links

Some pages on Packkeeper may include affiliate links. This means that if you click on certain links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

These affiliate partners (such as Amazon or other platforms) may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to recognise that you visited their website through Packkeeper. This helps them attribute any resulting purchases to our website.

We do not have access to, or control over, the data collected by these third-party platforms. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for more information on how your data is handled.

External purchases and third-party websites

Packkeeper may link to external websites where products or services can be purchased (for example, book retailers or print-on-demand platforms such as Lulu).

When you click on these links, you leave our website. Any personal data you provide on those third-party websites is collected and processed by them, not by Packkeeper.

These external websites may collect information such as your name, payment details, and browsing behaviour in accordance with their own privacy policies. Packkeeper is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these websites.

Children’s privacy

Packkeeper is intended for a general audience. While our content is suitable for younger readers, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without parental consent.

If you are under 13, please only subscribe to our email list with permission from a parent or guardian.

If we become aware that personal data has been collected from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

How long we retain your data

We only retain data for as long as necessary:

  • Analytics data: retained in aggregated form for performance monitoring
  • Email subscriber data: retained until you unsubscribe

You can request removal of your email data at any time.

What rights you have over your data

Depending on your location (including Canada and regions covered by GDPR), you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data
  • Request correction of your data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent (e.g., unsubscribe from emails)

To make a request, contact: [email protected]

Where your data is sent

Data may be processed or stored outside your country, including:

  • United States (e.g. Bluehost, MailerLite, analytics services)
  • Other countries

These providers follow standard data protection practices.

How we store your data

We take reasonable steps to protect your data, including:

  • Secure hosting through Bluehost
    • Use of trusted third-party platforms
    • Limited data collection (minimal exposure risk)

However, no online system is completely secure. By using the website, you acknowledge this risk.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” feature. At this time, Packkeeper does not respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time.

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
