Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Introduction

Welcome to FashbaughFiction.com. I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when you visit my website.

Information I Collect

I collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• Fill out the contact form
• Subscribe to receive updates through the "Get Updates" form

The information collected may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Any other information you choose to provide in a message or inquiry

How I Use Your Information

I use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiries
• Send you updates about my writing, new releases, and related news (only if you've subscribed)
• Communicate with you about topics related to my work

I will not share, sell, or distribute your name and email address to any third parties for their marketing purposes unless you give me explicit permission to do so.

Third-Party Service Providers

To operate this website and communicate with you, I work with the following trusted third-party service providers who may have access to your information:

• Netlify: My website hosting platform, which also handles the contact form
• Mailchimp: My email marketing service for sending updates to subscribers
• Gmail: My email service for communication
• Saginaw Creative Studios: My publisher, who may receive information submitted through the website as part of our professional relationship
• Amazon: Some links on this website may be part of the Amazon Associates program and as-such may affect your experience on Amazon and its affiliate websites. If you make a purchase after clicking on one of these links, I may get a small commission.
• Google Analytics (GA4): It collects anonymous usage information such as pages viewed, approximate location, and device type to help me understand how the site is used.
• Disqus: Comments on Notes posts. The free plan shows ads in the comments area and may set cookies when you read or leave a comment.

These service providers are obligated to keep your information secure and use it only for the purposes I've authorized.

Cookies and Tracking

This site is a static site hosted on Netlify. Mailchimp and the contact form may set cookies when you use those features. The site also uses Google Analytics, which may set cookies. Disqus may set cookies on Notes pages that load comments. You can control cookies in your browser settings, and you can use Google's ad and analytics opt-out tools if you prefer not to be measured that way.

Data Security

I take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information I hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your information
• Unsubscribe from email updates at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email
• Opt out of future communications

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
