This Privacy Policy explains how [Edward Lynne Moore / ELM Publishing LLC] (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit [www.edwardlynnemoore.com] (the “Website”).

By using this Website or voluntarily providing information through it, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

You may also voluntarily provide:

This information is used to review and respond to your inquiry and, when appropriate, maintain a record of the communication.

The Website and the services used to operate it may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, pages visited, and information about how you interact with the Website.

This information may be collected through cookies and similar technologies.

  • Comply with applicable legal requirements.

I do not sell your personal information.

3. Email List and Squarespace Email Campaigns

My email list is managed using Squarespace Email Campaigns.

When you subscribe to my email list, the information you provide, including your first name, last name, and email address, may be stored and processed through Squarespace's services.

Your information is used to send communications associated with the mailing list you voluntarily joined.

You may unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails. After unsubscribing, you will no longer receive marketing emails from the mailing list unless you choose to subscribe again.

Squarespace may process information according to its own privacy practices and policies.

4. Contact Forms

The Website provides contact forms that allow visitors to communicate with me.

Information submitted through a contact form will be used primarily to review and respond to your message. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal, financial, medical, or other confidential information through general contact forms.

Submitting a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to my email marketing list.

5. Cookies and Analytics

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the Website to function or that help provide information about Website traffic and visitor activity.

The Website may also use analytics tools, including services provided by Squarespace and, if enabled, Google Analytics. These services may collect information about how visitors find and use the Website, such as pages viewed, general device or browser information, and other usage data.

Depending on your browser, device, and location, you may be able to control or disable certain cookies through your browser settings or any cookie controls made available on the Website.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

I use third-party services to operate and maintain portions of the Website.

In particular, the Website is hosted and operated using Squarespace, which may process certain personal and technical information when you visit the Website, subscribe to my email list, or submit information through Website features.

Other third-party services, such as analytics providers, may process information when their services are enabled on the Website.

These providers maintain their own privacy practices and policies governing how they process information.

7. Data Retention

Personal information will generally be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Email subscriber information may be maintained while you remain subscribed to the mailing list and as otherwise reasonably necessary for administrative, legal, or recordkeeping purposes.

Information submitted through contact forms may be retained as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain correspondence records, resolve disputes, or comply with applicable obligations.

8. Data Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect personal information collected through the Website.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. I therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information submitted through or stored in connection with the Website.

9. Children's Privacy

This Website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

If I become aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, reasonable steps will be taken to delete that information.

A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information through the Website may contact me using the information provided below.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those communications.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may also provide certain rights regarding your personal information, including rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information.

Privacy-related requests may be submitted using the contact information below. I may need to take reasonable steps to verify a request before fulfilling it.

11. External Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services, such as social media platforms, booksellers, publishers, or other websites.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Your interactions with those websites are governed by their respective privacy policies and practices.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to the Website, the services I use, or applicable requirements.

When this Privacy Policy is updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page will be revised.
