Privacy Policy

If you choose to contact us or join our mailing list through the site, you will be asked to provide certain personal information, including your name and email address. We will store your personal information, but will not share it with any third parties, except as necessary to provide the services offered, to monitor usage, and to improve the service, or for collaborate promotion as described below.

For example, we may store your personal information along with your files and data with a third party service such as Google Docs; or we may use a third party analytics tool like Google Analytics; or we may store your information in a third party mail list service such as MailChimp.

At times, we may collaborate with authors or small presses to share email lists. We do this only if we feel their books are legitimately interesting, and we never sell our mail list. Comarketing is crucial for small publishers and indie authors to spread the word to like-minded readers.

We may communicate with you via email, to the email address you provide to us, to provide service notifications, news, promotions and other information, and to respond to your messages. Some communications are managed by third party mail list services and may be unsubscribed via the unsubscribe link in the email. We will never sell your personal information or share it with advertisers for unrelated services.

We may be required to disclose your personal information in order to:

  • comply with the law or legal process;

  • protect or defend our rights or property, or the rights or property of others;

  • enforce these terms; or

  • respond to claims that the content of any material on our system violates the rights of others.

If we must disclose your personal information in order to comply with the law or legal process, we will inform you (at the email address you provide) as soon as practicable, provided that it is lawful for us to do so.

This site is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace collects analytics and other data for use both by Squarespace and us. Please see the Squarespace privacy policy for information.

We also aggregate user information and perform statistical analyses of the collective behavior of our subscribers and visitors, to measure overall demographics, and to analyze how to improve our service, but such aggregate information does not contain personal information other than IP addresses. We may share this information with third parties such as Google Analytics, or parties that sell our books such as Amazon. In addition, we may compile and disclose aggregate information about our subscribers and visitors for promotional or other purposes.
