Your information.

Updated October 21, 2026.

What you provide

The free guide form requires an email address. First name and region are optional. We record your newsletter choice, submission time, form and guide versions, and a simple request source such as Instagram or the homepage. Separate forms record your newsletter, starter-kit, or bird-art interest, the consent wording version, and any print preference you choose.

How it is used

Your submission is saved so Elizabeth Carpenter can manage guide requests and understand interest in regional content. Newsletter permission covers occasional Backyard Bird Haven stories, seasonal ideas, and shop updates. Kit and art lists cover their respective launch notifications only. These choices stay separate. A guide request alone does not grant newsletter permission. No automatic email delivery or newsletter campaign is currently connected. No payment information is collected by these forms.

Your download

A necessary cookie gives this browser access to the PDF for 24 hours. The cookie does not contain your email address. Email addresses are self-reported; this form does not verify inbox ownership.

Access and choices

Submitted information is held in the website’s database and is available through an owner-restricted export. Requests are retained until removed by the owner or in response to a deletion request. You may ask to review or delete your information, or withdraw any email permission, by emailing Elizabeth Carpenter. Please use the address you submitted so the request can be checked.

Links to Instagram and research publishers lead to separate websites with their own privacy practices.
