Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 17, 2025

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Welcome to Everleaf Books! We are Maash LLC, a small, independent bookseller based in San Jose, California (“we,” “us,” “our”). Your privacy is incredibly important to us. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

We are a traditional retailer, not a data company. We only collect the information necessary to fulfill your order and improve your experience.

2. The Information We Collect

When you interact with our Site (everleafbooks.com), we collect information in two simple ways:

  • A. Information You Voluntarily Provide: When you place an order or contact us, you provide us with personal details needed to complete your purchase, including:

    • Your Name

    • Your Email Address

    • Your Shipping Address

    • Your Billing Address

    • Your Phone Number

  • B. Information Collected Automatically (Cookies): Like most online stores, as you browse our Site, we automatically collect certain technical data about your device and browsing activity using cookies and similar technologies (like pixels). This includes:

    • Your IP Address

    • Which pages you visit

    • Your browser type

3. Why We Use Your Information (Our Purpose)

Our use of your information is simple and focused:

  • To Fulfill Your Order: This is our primary purpose. We use your Name, Address, and Email to process your payment, pack your book(s) at our San Jose facility, and communicate with you about your order status.

  • For Analytics: We look at automated data to understand which books are popular and how visitors find our Site, helping us improve our curated collection.

  • For Advertising: We use advertising cookies (from partners like Google and Facebook) to show you ads for our bookstore on other websites. This helps us find other readers who might love our collection.

4. How We Share Your Information (Who Sees It)

We promise to be transparent. We are NOT a dropshipper, so we DO NOT share your personal details with unknown third-party publishers for fulfillment.

Our small team in San Jose handles your data. We only share it with these essential partners:

  • Payment Processors (Stripe & PayPal): To securely process your payment. We never see or store your full credit card number.

  • Shipping Carriers (USPS): To print your shipping label and get your book to you.

  • Advertising Partners (Google & Facebook): We share the automated cookie data (not your name or address) with these partners for advertising purposes, as described above.

5. A Note on Cookies, Consent & Advertising

This Site uses cookies for analytics and advertising. We want to be upfront about our process:

  • We do not use a pop-up cookie consent banner. We find they disrupt the browsing experience.

  • By using and browsing our Site, everleafbooks.com, you are consenting to our use of these cookies as described in this policy.

6. Your Rights & How to Opt-Out (CCPA)

You have rights over your data, especially if you are a California resident (under CCPA/CPRA). This includes the “Right to Know,” “Right to Delete,” and the “Right to Opt-Out” of your data being “Shared” (which the use of advertising cookies may be considered).

Consistent with our streamlined process:

  • The sole and exclusive method to opt-out of our use of advertising cookies or the “Sharing” of your data is to send us an email request.

  • Please see our Do Not Sell My Information page for the exact instructions on how to submit this request.

7. Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously. We use standard administrative and technical security measures (like SSL) to protect your personal information. As a small business, we handle your data with the same care we would want for our own.

8. Contact Us
