By using this website, you agree to follow the conditions outlined in this Privacy Policy, which was created to inform you about the data we collect from you. It also explains when and how this information can be used or disclosed.
Information Collected from Users
When filling out a form on the site, you may be asked to provide your contact information. This personal information will only be used by the author to contact you as per your request and it will not be transferred, sold, or provided to any other party unless required by law. You have the right to not provide your contact information, but by declining you may not be able to submit the contact form or use the services or features offered on this site. This information is stored in our database on our server indefinitely (or until manually deleted).
If you subscribe to the author’s newsletter, your email address will be saved on MailerLite’s secure servers. We will only email you to send you news about the author’s latest publications and/or to offer free, discounted, or newly released books from other authors you may enjoy. We do not share our newsletter subscriber list with other authors or marketing firms. Email information collected when you subscribed to the author’s newsletter will remain on MailerLite’s server indefinitely, so that your subscription preferences (including date when you subscribed and unsubscribed, etc.) can be recorded.
If you leave comments on this site, you can request to have these comments deleted at any time by contacting the author here.
Tracking, reCAPTCHA, and Cookies
This website uses cookies from Facebook.com, Google.com, various affiliate links, and our own domain name to keep track of the following things:
Facebook Pixel
A Facebook pixel appears on every page of this site to help us determine a marketing audience and to track the success of Facebook advertising campaigns. Email addresses collected by the author can, at times, be uploaded collectively to Facebook in order for its algorithms to create a “look-alike” group of similar Facebook users who may also be interested in the author’s books. Individual email addresses are not used to target individual users on Facebook. The creation of “look-alike audiences” is a common practice used by Facebook advertisers when trying to expand their organic reach. It does not give Facebook the right to contact you using the email addresses that were uploaded.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 and v2 to protect our site from spam and abuse, including in contact forms, login pages, and blog comments. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information (such as device and browser data) and sends it to Google for security analysis. This data is used solely to improve reCAPTCHA and maintain site security — it is not used for personalized advertising. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Audiobook Samples
Our site may include embedded audiobook samples provided by third-party services such as YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Apple Books. These players are loaded only after you choose to interact with them. When activated, they may set cookies or collect usage data in accordance with the respective provider’s privacy policies. These cookies are used for media playback and localization, not for advertising. No third-party media content is loaded unless you actively choose to play it.
Koko Analytics
This website uses Koko Analytics to gather anonymous statistics about visitor behavior, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors navigate the site. Koko Analytics does not use any third-party services or track users across sites. It sets a single, optional cookie (koko_analytics_pages_viewed) to distinguish returning visitors, which does not contain any personal data. Visitors can choose to disable this cookie through their browser settings or opt-out link, and their visit will still be counted anonymously.
Affiliate Links
The site may contain affiliate links for companies we use, trust, and recommend, such as Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, and other book sellers. If you click on one of these affiliate links, a cookie will be placed on your computer and, should you make a purchase on that third-party website, the author will be paid a small commission. You will not pay a penny more by going through these links. These affiliate links are carefully selected based on our experience with these service providers, and the small commission earned helps to cover the costs associated with this website and other advertising costs.
