Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you visit RootedEquity.org, place a direct order, or contact RootED Equity LLC and Dr. Nakeyau Patterson.
Email inquiries
When you email rootedequity@gmail.com, we receive your email address, your message, and any name, attachments, or other information you choose to provide. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and provide requested assistance. Email correspondence is processed through Gmail, a Google service.
Direct orders
When direct checkout is available, we use the contact, delivery, billing, and order information you provide to process and fulfil your purchase, communicate about your order, and respond to order or return inquiries. Our website and checkout are provided through Wix. Payment information is processed by the payment provider used at checkout. Relevant order and address information is used to arrange shipping.
Website operation and cookies
Our website is hosted by Wix. Wix uses cookies and similar technologies to support website operation, security, stability, and performance. Its services may process technical and usage information, such as IP addresses, device and browser information, and interactions with website pages. More information is available in Wix’s Privacy Policy at https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect some website features.
Other websites and retailers
Purchases made through “Buy on Amazon” links take place on Amazon, which handles payment, delivery, and customer information under its own privacy policy. Other retailers and social media websites also operate under their own privacy policies when you follow links to them.
Reader newsletter
Placing an order or contacting us by email does not automatically subscribe you to promotional messages. Adults may optionally sign up for the RootED Equity reader newsletter using the form on our website. We collect the email address and consent submitted through that form to manage subscriptions and share book news, reading activities, and event updates. Subscriber information is processed through Wix. Promotional emails include an unsubscribe option, and you may also email rootedequity@gmail.com to request removal.
Privacy questions and requests
For privacy questions or requests to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided to us, email rootedequity@gmail.com. We review requests in accordance with applicable requirements.
We may update this policy as our website or practices change. Updated wording and a revised date will appear on this page.
