Privacy Policy

The Author Experience places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate The Author Experience’s firm commitment to the privacy of our supporters. This policy explains the type of information collected by The Author Experience’s website, https://theauthorexperience.org and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
Names and emails are collected if voluntarily given when signing up for The Author Experience Newsletter or if you fill out one of our forms. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages.

Visitors who choose to donate through The Author Experience website are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information necessary to process the transaction. The Author Experience collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction.

IP addresses
The Author Experience uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer https://theauthorexperience.org and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Cookies
The Author Experience website uses “cookie” messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you’ve done and told us before. The “cookie” is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you’re particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of https://theauthorexperience.org so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.

How Your Information May Be Used
If you’ve signed up for our newsletter we store your e-mail. You may choose to opt out of receiving our newsletter at any time. In addition if you have used our contact form we will have your email address so we can answer your requests. We may also use non-identifying information to track visitors of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example).

Email Privacy
The Author Experience does not share, provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone.

External Links
The Author Experience website includes links to external websites. These links do not fall under the The Author Experience domain, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.

Modifications
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time; please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this privacy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
