Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 1, 2024

Information Gathering

I request information on this and associated websites in the following circumstances:

  • Name and email address to deliver my email newsletter to subscribers (managed via https://www.aweber.com/). Subscribers can easily opt out at any time.

  • Name, email address, and (if purchasing physical products) mailing address to fulfill purchases from online store at https://payhip.com/mattydalrymple. I do not have access to any financial information you input into PayHip.

  • Name, email address, and mailing address for those entering a giveaway through my Book Rehoming Project; entrants are also subscribed to my mailing list, from which they can opt out at any time.

  • Name and email address of people using my Contact form.

I never sell personal information to a third party.

I use Google Analytics. Google's spider bots crawl my site regularly and give me reports on how people are using my site, such as what pages they are visiting, and what websites they are coming from. If you have a Google account, Google does potentially provide basic information about website visitors’ demographics and browsing habits, but never personal identifying information. I use this vital data to help improve my website experience for future visitors, as does virtually every website on the Internet. 

I cannot be held responsible or liable for any actions or damages performed by third-party plugin creators, services, or vendors. The same goes for any hacking or hacking attempts that may happen to my site.

The security of your personal information is important to us, but no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

This website contains links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms of service of every site you visit.

I have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites, products, or services.

Affiliate Policy

I use affiliate links on this website for my books and recommended products and services. If you click those links and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission from the vendor at no additional cost to you. I do my best to disclose affiliate links whenever possible. 

Your Choice

If you do not agree with any of the policies above, please refrain from using my website. I respect your privacy and your choice.
