Privacy Policy

Our website address is: https://lyndseylewellen.com.

If you have any questions about how I’m going to use any info you’re kind enough to share with me, you can always reach me at lyndseylewellenbooks [at] gmail.com. But I hope to answer most of your questions here.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it:

Newsletter sign-up

At the moment, only an email address is required to sign up for my newsletter. I also ask for your first & last name, so I can address my replies personally. My newsletter is powered by MailPoet, who are very thorough on their privacy policy. If you want to know more about  how they operate though, here’s their privacy policy.

I plan to use whatever info you provide for two purposes:

  1. Informational: Cover reveals, Title reveals, and information on upcoming books.
  2. Marketing purposes: Book release days with buy-in links

I will not sell or share your info with anybody else. But be aware that signing up for my newsletter means that you agree to this. 

If you ever decide you don’t want to hear from me, there’s an unsubscribe button at the bottom of every email. Just click it & you’ll never hear from me again. Or reach out to me at lyndseylewellenbooks [at] gmail.com & I’ll remove you.

Contact forms

My contact form does not automatically collect or store any personal information, & WordPress by default doesn’t do this. But I don’t delete the email addresses of people who contact me, so be aware that if you do contact me, you’re giving me permission to have your email address & possibly even to write you back. If you want me to delete it & forget we ever emailed, you’ll need to tell me so specifically.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on my site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Just so you’re aware, before clicking on them.

Who we share your data with:

I don’t share your data with anybody, but I will provide you with links to my books at the web retailers listed below. Click the links to see their privacy policies.

Amazon

Barnes & Noble

Kobo

iBooks

How long we retain your data:

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have any concerns about your contact information, please get in touch with me at: lyndseylewellen [at] gmail.com
