Who operates these sites
Bishop Woodcrafts LLC operates Realm by Ethan at realmbyethan.com and the Bishopcraft mirror at bishopcraft.com. This notice covers the public website, The Governor reader and downloads, optional accounts and reading notes, personalized-version requests, and related support. In this notice, Realm, Realm by Ethan and Bishopcraft refer to these services of Bishop Woodcrafts LLC. Contact ethan@bishopcraft.com with privacy questions or requests.
Accounts, notes and information you provide
Normal reading and standard downloads do not require an account. If you create or use an account, the site processes the account details and authentication information needed to sign you in and support the account. Saved reading notes include your text, the associated book section, revision information and an update time, linked to your account. They are not displayed to other readers. Notes are not end-to-end encrypted; authorized site administrators and service providers may access stored information when necessary for operation, support, security or legal obligations.
If you send a support message or contact Ethan by email, the recipient and the email services involved receive the message and your contact details. The signed-in reader contact form forwards your message with your verified account email and reader-access status. Do not include passwords, payment-card numbers or unnecessary sensitive personal records in notes, prompts or messages.
Personalized editions and payments
Version-request records include your name, email, prompt, selected format, request and payment identifiers, the terms you agreed to and the request’s status. A request may be stored before payment is completed. A paperback order may also require a mailing address and postage correspondence. This information is used to process the request, create and deliver your edition, provide support, verify payments, and maintain transaction records. Paid requests may be emailed to Ethan for fulfillment.
Stripe processes checkout and payment-card information. The custom-version flow sends Stripe the checkout information and identifiers needed to associate payment with your request; it does not send the custom prompt in its payment metadata. Payment-card numbers are not stored in the site’s version-request record. Stripe handles information under its own privacy policy. The Site Terms explain the free reader and optional paid editions.
Hosting, service providers and technical information
The sites use WordPress and hosting infrastructure to serve pages, manage accounts and store records. Realm by Ethan is served through ChatGPT Sites and Cloudflare. Hosting and security services receive technical request information such as IP addresses, requested URLs, browser information and access times. This information supports delivery, security, troubleshooting and abuse prevention. Email providers process messages sent through the services. Providers receive the information needed for their part of operating the site or fulfilling your request. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to address fraud, security incidents or legal claims.
Cookies and browser storage
Account, session and security features use cookies or related browser storage. The reader also uses browser storage for reading preferences or progress. Google Analytics uses its own identifiers and may use cookies to measure visits and activity as described below. You can control cookies and local storage in your browser, although blocking them may affect sign-in, saved preferences or other features. Google explains its processing in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Retention and privacy requests
Account and note information is kept to support the account and saved-note feature. Request, payment and correspondence records may be retained as reasonably needed for fulfillment, support, security, accounting, legal obligations and dispute resolution, including records of incomplete requests. Retention depends on the record and purpose; this notice does not promise a single automatic deletion date. Copies may remain in backups or service-provider records until their applicable retention processes complete.
You can clear a reading note and save it to remove its visible text. Email ethan@bishopcraft.com to request access, correction or deletion of your personal information, account or notes, or to ask about retention. Identity verification may be needed to protect your information. Applicable rights, legal duties and necessary transaction or security records may affect what can be removed. Keep a separate copy of notes or other material you wish to retain.
Google Analytics and reader measurement
Bishopcraft uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. This page explains the additional measurements on The Governor reader.
Book reader activity
The reader records when it opens, which section is opened, when the voice view is selected, and when a full-text or voice download link is clicked. Section identifiers are used for counts; the text you read is not sent as an analytics event.
Signed-in readers
When a reader is signed in, these events are associated with an opaque identifier derived from the reader account. The identifier is not a name or email address. Visitors who are not signed in contribute to anonymous totals. Bishopcraft does not send account names, email addresses, or personalized-version prompts in these reader events.
Personalized-version requests
If you request a personalized version, Bishopcraft receives the name, email address, and prompt you submit so Ethan can respond and make your version. The checkout is handled by Stripe. These request details are separate from the book reader analytics described above.
Questions
