The basics, in plain English:
If you sign up to receive my newsletter, my newsletter service provider (Mailerlite) keeps a note of your email address and first name. No other information is kept. If you enter a giveaway via Rafflecopter, I don't add you to a mailing list or keep any data after the giveaway ends. Email addresses are used only to contact the winner(s). I only collect physical mailing addresses when I need to send you a prize or swag, and I don't pass them on or use them for any other purpose. If I send a prize by tracked delivery, I keep the certificate of posting with your address on it so I can chase up with the post office if the package goes AWOL.
Please know you can trust your information that you give to me, and if you are ever concerned about how your data is used by me, you can email me at elise(at)elise-noble.com.
FACEBOOK ADS
My site includes use of the Facebook pixel which can be used to serve you ads on your social media based on your browsing behavior. Facebook’s pixel also helps me be better about any advertising I send out to make sure it only goes to people who are interested in what I have to offer. Neither Facebook nor I want to spam anyone, of course. Again, like other tracking software, I never get individual information or data, just group data to see trends.
Also, though I use Facebook’s ad services, I am not an employee of Facebook nor do I have any affiliation with their company. They also have no affiliation with the content on this site.
If you want to opt out of Facebook ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and manage the companies you receive advertising from. You will need to do this though for each browser.
AMAZON AFFILIATES
When you click a link on this site and it takes you to Amazon, I am using an affiliate link. This is a link that allows Amazon to pay me a small commission (about 4-6%) on the items you purchased on Amazon. I do not work for Amazon, nor do they approve or have any affiliation with the content here. They are merely rewarding me for driving traffic to their site. Again, I am not given any individual information, I don’t get names or emails, nothing like that. My reports show me what items were purchased from referrals on my site and what I’m getting paid. Again, these monies are used to help defray the cost of hosting, and when enough is earned, I often turn it into a giveaway prize for readers. Affiliate monies earned do not affect your price or cost on Amazon, it’s paid entirely by Amazon from what’s already purchased.
YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED HERE
At times, my site uses Mailerlite and other applications to collect information from visitors, such as email addresses, mailing addresses, and names for giveaways or mailing lists. I take every precaution I can to protect this information and I do not share it with other authors or services.
