Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 27, 2026
This policy explains how Hilary Zaid’s website, hilaryzaid.com, handles information when you browse the site or get in touch.
When you send a message
The contact form asks for your first name, last name, email address, and message. This information is sent to Hilary to respond to your inquiry and any related correspondence. Sending a message does not subscribe you to a mailing list. Please avoid including sensitive personal information that is not needed for your inquiry.
Hosting and email services
Cloudflare provides the website’s hosting, security, and contact-form email delivery. It processes technical information such as IP addresses and request information to deliver and protect the site. The contact form also uses your IP address to limit repeated submissions and reduce spam.
Contact messages pass through Cloudflare’s email service and Hilary’s email provider. These providers process information to supply their services, and may process it in countries other than your own. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy for its practices.
Cookies and tracking
The site does not include advertising trackers, visitor analytics scripts, or social-media tracking pixels. Its fonts and images are served with the site. The site’s own code does not set cookies or use browser storage to track visitors. Cloudflare may use necessary security cookies depending on the protections in use; its cookie documentation explains these.
Use, sharing, and retention
Personal information submitted through this site is not sold or shared for targeted advertising. It is used to handle correspondence, operate and protect the site, and meet applicable legal obligations. Information may be disclosed where legally required.
The website does not maintain a database of contact messages or log their contents. Messages and replies may remain in Hilary’s email correspondence and the email provider’s backups. Retention depends on the inquiry, follow-up needs, and any applicable legal obligations. Service providers may retain technical information under their own policies.
Your choices
You can browse without submitting the contact form. To ask about your information or request access, correction, or deletion of correspondence, use the contact form. Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law; verifying your identity may be necessary. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to object to or restrict processing, receive a copy of your data, or complain to a privacy regulator.
Links to other websites
Bookshops, publications, event websites, and other linked services have their own privacy practices. Their policies apply when you follow a link and use their services.
Changes and questions
This policy may be updated as the site changes. The date above identifies the latest revision. For privacy questions, reach Hilary through the contact form.
