NEWSLETTER OR BLOG

Paula Benge usually issues 1 newsletter per month, including announcements of new books and sales, as well as occasional giveaways exclusively available to newsletter subscribers. Newsletters are sent out using Mailerlite.

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

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. You may ask for all your data to be deleted at any time.

GIVEAWAYS AND CONTESTS

If you enter a giveaway, your name and email address is collected. If you win a physical prize, you will be asked to give your name and physical address.

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

This website may collect non-personal information about visitors when they interact with the site. This information may include the browser name, means of connection to the site, and other non-identifying information. In addition, third party services such as Google Analytics may be used to collect, monitor and analyze the information collected.

COOKIES

This website may use “cookies” to enhance visitor experience. Typically, cookies may be placed on visitors' hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them.

HOW IS THE INFORMATION USED?

Giveaway entrants will be sent emails only about the giveaway, unless they also signed up for the newsletter or blog.

Affiliate codes may be used in some of the emails or on the site.

SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Subscriber information is never shared with a third party. The only exception is that email addresses may occasionally be used to create lookalike audiences for online marketing. This in no way distributes the emails or signs subscribers up to any other services.
