Privacy Policy
Who I am
I’m an independent author who sells books through my website and Shopify store, and who promotes them via email and social media. Your privacy is important to me.
What Personal Data I Collect
When you purchase a book, sign up for a free download, or join my mailing list, I collect your email address—and sometimes your name—so I can stay in touch with you.
How I Use Your Information
I use your email address to send you updates, including:
-
Newsletters
-
New book releases
-
Special offers and discounts
-
Free stories, previews, or bonuses
-
Book recommendations or relevant promotions from other authors (I’ll send these to you—but I never share your details with anyone)
Data Sharing
I never sell, share, or trade your personal information with anyone. Even when I collaborate with other authors, your data stays private and secure.
Your Rights
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any message I send. You can also contact me at any time to ask what data I have about you or request that I delete it.
Where Your Data Is Stored
Your data will be stored securely through trusted email services (I currently use Kit), and Shopify processes purchases through their secure systems. These services follow industry-standard privacy and security practices.
