privacY

Here is my reasonable, totally fair, and pleasantly considerate privacy policy. No surprises. I hate spam, respect privacy, and only want to use your information in ways that help me connect with readers, share my books and news, and keep this website and newsletter running smoothly.

What Information Does This Site Collect?

 

Newsletter or giveaways:

If you voluntarily sign up for Herb Williams-Dalgart’s newsletter, this site will record your email address, first, and last name. You can refuse to supply personal information, but that will exclude you from certain related activities such as receiving newsletters and free offers. When subscribers click on a link in one of my emails or fill out a form, the site may record this information (see below how this information is used).

Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. You may ask for all your data to be deleted at any time. It won't hurt my feelings. You're free to come back if you change your mind.

Giveaways and Contests:

If you enter a giveaway, your email address, first, and last name is collected. If you win a physical prize, you will be asked to give your name and physical address as well. Doesn't that make sense?

Non-personal Information & Analytics

This website may collect general information about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser or device type, referral source, and other usage information. I use this information in aggregate to understand what visitors find useful and to improve the site. It is not used by me to personally identify individual visitors.

Cookies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the site function properly, understand how visitors use it, and improve the visitor experience. Some third-party services used by the site may also place cookies according to their own privacy policies.

You can adjust your browser settings to refuse or limit cookies, although some parts of the site may not function properly as a result. None of this is done for nefarious purposes; the goal is simply to make the site work well and better understand what visitors find useful.

I don't have an overlord, a corporate sponsor, or a purse-string holder. It's all me, just as you hoped it would be.

 

How Is the Information Used?

Newsletter subscribers’ names and emails will only be used for receiving the newsletters or occasional communication from Herb Williams-Dalgart. Giveaway entrants will be sent emails only about the giveaway, unless they also signed up for the newsletter. Information about which email links are clicked on the most will help us choose links that interest readers in future emails.

Sharing of Personal Information

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with other authors, marketers, data brokers, or other third parties for their own marketing purposes.

From time to time, I may participate in joint promotions, giveaways, or other collaborative marketing activities with fellow authors or organizations. My emails or website may include links to their books, websites, giveaways, or mailing lists, but you decide whether to visit those sites or provide them with your information.

Third-party websites and services have their own privacy policies, and I encourage you to review them before providing personal information or making a purchase. Your choice. Your call. No harm if you ignore them.

Security of Information

Subscriber information is stored using services provided by MailerLite and other service providers necessary to operate this website and newsletter. I take reasonable steps to protect personal information and limit its use to the purposes described in this policy.

Should a data breach occur that affects your personal information, I will provide notice when appropriate and as required by applicable law.

Use of the Website or newsletter subscription by Minors

All subscribers and website visitors must be 18 or older or have the consent of a parent or guardian. We will endeavor to keep content of both the website and the newsletter appropriate for most audiences, though the books and writings of the author may not contain content appropriate for all ages.

 

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Herb Williams-Dalgart may update this privacy policy at any time. A notice about such changes will be posted here. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

 

Your Acceptance of These Terms

By visiting and using herbthewriter.com or by subscribing to Herb Williams-Dalgart's newsletter, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you can simply not use the site or choose not to subscribe to the newsletter. Continued use of the site or continuing receipt of the newsletter means you accept the policy and any periodic changes.
