Privacy notice · Effective August 8, 2026
Carson's Field Cabinet is a personal field archive. It collects only the information you choose to submit when asking about a book or leaving feedback.
In brief
It is not sold, rented, used for advertising, or added to a marketing list. Browsing the site does not add your name or contact details to Carson's request log.
A book request can include your name, contact information, requested shelf or subject, request type, preferred duration, and message. Feedback can include a name and contact method if you choose, its subject, and your note. Each submission also receives a request ID and timestamp, and records whether you consented.
Submission information is used to review and respond to feedback, confirm book availability, arrange a possible loan, rental, or in-person browse, maintain the related request record, prevent duplicate notifications, and protect the forms from misuse. The site does not collect payment-card details; please do not submit passwords, government ID numbers, medical information, or other sensitive data.
Submissions are saved in the site's private database, copied to a private Google Sheet used as Carson's request log, and included in an email notification sent to Carson. They are not displayed publicly. Site-hosting, security, Google Workspace, and email providers process information only as needed to provide those services.
Carson has not added advertising cookies, behavioral analytics, or tracking pixels. Hosting and security providers may still process routine technical information—such as an IP address, browser details, request timing, and necessary security cookies—to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and maintain reliability. That technical data is governed by those providers' own practices.
There is no fixed automatic deletion schedule. Submissions are kept only as long as reasonably needed to handle the request, maintain relevant lending records, prevent duplicate processing, protect the site, or meet legal obligations. You may ask Carson for access, correction, or deletion by opening the feedback form, choosing Privacy request, and including enough information to identify your submission. A privacy request may be kept long enough to complete and document it.
Reasonable access controls are used, but no online system can promise absolute security. This site is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not submit names, contact details, or messages through its forms.
Links to external services, including Instagram, follow those services' privacy practices. This notice may be updated if the site's forms, providers, or data uses change. The effective date at the top will be revised when a material change is published.
