Your privacy matters here. Not in a boilerplate, fine-print kind of way, we mean it. At Dream To Print Publishing, we understand that when you hand over personal information, you're extending trust. That's not something we take lightly, and this policy exists to be completely transparent about how that information is collected, used, and protected.

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, users, and clients of Dream To Print Publishing, a service of Impctrs Management Group, accessible at www.dreamtoprintpublishing.com. Whether you're browsing our site, filling out a contact form, or working with us to publish your book, this document governs how we handle your data.

By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described here. If something doesn't sit right with you, please reach out before continuing. We would rather address your concerns than lose your trust.

1. Who We Are

Dream To Print Publishing is an independent publishing company that helps business owners and social impact leaders transform their expertise into published books. We operate as part of Impctrs Management Group, alongside sister brands including 808 Talent Source, Impctrs University, AI Arkitech, and Skhillz Academy.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the data controller responsible for your personal information is:

Dream To Print Publishing

A division of Impctrs Management Group

Website: www.dreamtoprintpublishing.com

Contact: [email protected]

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, Dream To Print Publishing acts as the data controller under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, respectively.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways,  and only what we actually need. Here's a plain-language breakdown:

2.1 Information You Give Us Directly

- Name, email address, phone number, and business details when you fill out contact or inquiry forms

- Manuscript materials, book content, or project files you submit as part of our publishing services

- Billing information (processed securely through third-party payment processors; we do not store full credit card numbers)

- Communications you send us via email, phone, or any web-based form

- Social media handles or profiles if you voluntarily provide them

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain data is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools:

- IP address and general geographic location

- Browser type, device type, and operating system

- Pages visited, time spent on each page, and referring URLs

- Clickstream data and interaction patterns on our site

This data helps us understand how people find and use our site. It does not identify you personally; it's aggregate behavior data, and it informs how we improve the experience.

2.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from social media platforms (such as Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn) if you interact with our ads or pages. We may also receive referral data from partner organizations or tools we use to manage our business operations. In all cases, we only use this data in ways consistent with this policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect to do what we do: help people become published authors. More specifically:

- To respond to inquiries and provide the publishing services you've requested

- To communicate about your project, including updates, timelines, and deliverables

- To send relevant marketing content (only with your consent, and always with a clear opt-out)

- To process payments and maintain accurate billing records

- To improve our website based on how people actually use it

- To comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements

- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse of our platform

We do not sell your personal information. Full stop. It seems worth saying plainly, given how common the practice has become elsewhere.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we are required to identify the legal basis under which we process your personal data. Here is how that breaks down:

- Contract Performance: When you engage our services, we process your data to fulfill the terms of that agreement

- Legitimate Interests: We may process certain data to run and improve our business, provided this doesn't override your rights

- Consent: For marketing emails and non-essential cookies, we rely on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time

- Legal Obligation: We process some data to comply with applicable laws, tax requirements, or regulatory mandates

If you would like more details about the specific legal basis applied to a particular processing activity, please contact us at [email protected].

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies ,  small data files stored on your device ,  along with similar tracking technologies like web beacons and pixels. Here is what we use them for:

- Essential Cookies: These are required for the site to function. Without them, certain features simply won't work.

- Analytics Cookies: Tools like Google Analytics help us understand traffic patterns and user behavior,  always in aggregate, never tied to a personally identifiable profile without consent.

- Marketing Cookies: If you've opted in, these help us deliver relevant advertising on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

You can control your cookie preferences through your browser settings or by using a cookie consent tool when prompted on our site. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the site perform.

For European visitors, we operate a cookie consent mechanism that complies with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR requirements. You will be asked for consent before any non-essential cookies are placed.

6. How We Share Your Information

We share personal data only when it serves a clear, legitimate purpose,  and never casually. The categories of recipients are:

6.1 Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party vendors who help us operate our business ,  payment processors, email marketing platforms, cloud storage providers, and website analytics tools. These vendors are contractually obligated to handle your data only for the purposes we specify.

6.2 Sister Brands

Dream To Print Publishing is part of the Impctrs Management Group family. We may share data internally across our sister brands (808 Talent Source, Impctrs University, AI Arkitech, Skhillz Academy) where it's relevant to a service or opportunity you've expressed interest in. We will not share your data with a sister brand for unrelated purposes without your knowledge.

6.3 Legal Requirements

If required by law, court order, or governmental authority, we may disclose information. This isn't something we do casually,  only when legally compelled or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or prevent harm.

6.4 Business Transfers

In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you of any such change and give you an opportunity to opt out where applicable.

7. Data Retention

We hold on to your data for as long as it's needed,  no longer. Here's what that looks like in practice:

- Client project data is retained for a minimum of 7 years following project completion, in accordance with standard business and tax record requirements

- Marketing contact data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion

- Website analytics data is typically retained for 26 months, then aggregated or deleted

- Payment records are retained as required by applicable tax law

Once the retention period expires, data is securely deleted or anonymized. You can request early deletion of your data at any time (see Your Rights, below), subject to legal and contractual limitations.

8. International Data Transfers

Dream To Print Publishing is based in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S.,  particularly in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland,  your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws differ from those in your country.

For transfers from the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or other transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law. If you have questions about the safeguards in place for your data, please contact us.

9. Your Privacy Rights

To submit a request, contact us at [email protected] or use the contact form at www.dreamtoprintpublishing.com. We will respond within 30 days for most requests. GDPR requests will be handled within the one-month window required by law.

We may ask you to verify your identity before processing certain requests. This protects you; we want to make sure no one can access or delete your data by impersonating you.

10. Data Security

We take security seriously, though it would be dishonest to promise that any system is completely impenetrable. Here is what we actually do to protect your data:
- SSL/TLS encryption for data transmitted through our website

- Restricted access controls,  only authorized personnel can access personal data, and only on a need-to-know basis

- Regular review of data handling practices and third-party vendor agreements

- Secure storage practices for digital records

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and applicable regulatory authorities as required by law,  within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required under GDPR.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for adults ,  specifically, business owners, entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in EEA jurisdictions, where applicable).

If we learn that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from or about a child, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

12. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to external websites or embedded tools from third parties (social media platforms, payment gateways, booking tools, etc.). This Privacy Policy applies only to Dream To Print Publishing's own properties. Once you leave our site or interact with a third-party service, their own privacy policies govern your data.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. We can't control what happens on someone else's platform, and this policy offers no warranty or protection for third-party practices.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time,  as our services evolve, legal requirements change, or we find clearer ways to describe our practices. When we make material changes, we will update the 'Last Updated' date at the top of this document and, where appropriate, notify users by email or a prominent notice on our website.

Your continued use of our website or services after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with changes, you have the right to stop using our services and request deletion of your data.

14. Complaints and Supervisory Authorities

If you believe we have handled your data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) handles privacy-related complaints. In the EEA, you may contact your local data protection authority. UK residents may contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk.

That said, we'd genuinely prefer to resolve any concern directly before it reaches that stage. Please reach out to us first; we're committed to getting it right.
