Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Commodore’s Ridge Publishing LLC handles your information when you visit and interact with this website, including browsing our book catalog and exploring media in Tater’s Universe.

Information You Provide

We keep things simple. You can browse this site without creating an account. We do not currently use user accounts, payment processing, comment sections, contact forms, or newsletter signups. If you choose to email us directly, we simply receive the information you decide to share, such as your email address and message.

Cookies and Local Storage

When you respond to our cookie banner, your preference (accept or decline) is saved in your browser’s local storage so we don't have to ask you every time you visit. This preference stays on your device unless you clear your site data or use a private browsing session.

Analytics and Site Diagnostics

If you opt-in via our cookie banner, this site uses AWS CloudWatch to collect basic performance and error data (such as page load speeds, browser type, and JavaScript errors). We use this strictly to diagnose technical issues and ensure the site is running smoothly. We do not use this data for advertising, and we never sell visitor information.

Hosting, Media, and Security Logs

Like almost all websites, our hosting and media delivery services (including the audio, images, and files hosted for Tater’s Universe) automatically process standard technical data necessary to deliver content and secure the site. This creates routine server logs that may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the time of your visit, and the specific files you requested.

Third-Party Links

We provide links to third-party sites and services, including Amazon, YouTube, and Creative Commons. Once you leave our site, those third parties control their own privacy practices, and their policies will apply to any information they collect from you.

Sharing and Disclosure

Commodore’s Ridge Publishing does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We only share data with the trusted service providers who help us host, secure, and monitor the site, or when explicitly required by law, legal process, or a valid public authority request.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Your Choices

You are always in control of your data. You can clear this site’s local storage or cookies in your browser settings to reset your preferences at any time. You can also use browser privacy controls, private browsing modes, or content-blocking tools to limit storage and analytics requests.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our site features, service providers, or legal requirements evolve. Any updates will be effective immediately when posted on this page.
