Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Rainee Wise ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit raineewise.com or hogsnogglegang.com (the "Site") or sign up for our email updates. Rainee Wise is a registered business operated by Lorraine O'Connell, based in Ontario, Canada. By using the Site or subscribing, you agree to the practices described here.
What we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. The only personal information we actively collect is:
- Your email address, when you choose to sign up for our launch updates and news.
We do not ask for your name, phone number, postal address, or payment information through this Site. If you contact us by email, we will receive whatever information you choose to include in your message.
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This is standard server log data used to keep the Site running and secure. We do not use it to personally identify you.
Cookies
The Site uses few or no cookies. Our email provider or hosting platform may set basic functional cookies needed for the Site to work. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell your data. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings.
How we use your information
We use your email address only to:
- Send you occasional updates about The Hogsnoggle Gang books, launches, and related news.
- Respond to messages you send us.
We will never sell, rent, or trade your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly.
Who we share it with
Your email address is stored and managed through our email marketing provider, MailerLite, which processes it on our behalf so we can send you updates. MailerLite is bound by its own privacy obligations and may not use your information for any other purpose. We do not share your information with any other third parties except where required by law.
Children's privacy
While The Hogsnoggle Gang books are created for children, this Site and our email sign-up are intended for adults — parents, guardians, teachers, and grown-up fans. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in some regions). Children should not submit any personal information through this Site. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at raineewise@gmail.com and we will promptly delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw your consent to receive emails. To exercise any of these rights, simply unsubscribe or email us at raineewise@gmail.com. We comply with applicable privacy laws, including Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), and we honour the rights of visitors in regions covered by the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data security
We value your trust and use reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our Site may contain links to external websites (for example, social media or online stores). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
