This privacy policy is to inform you about the personally identifiable information (PII) that may be collected on the website of author Elizabeth Langston, what is done with the PII, and with whom it may be shared. My website address is www.elizabethlangston.net .

You are not required to submit any PII to use this website. At your election, you may provide your email address and name to contact me through my contact form, and I will use that information only to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted me. I do not collect PII provided through the contact form on my website database. If I respond, the response will address the reason you contacted me. I will not share your PII with any third party, other than as necessary to fulfill a specific request from you, e.g. ship a book. I delete messages sent through the contact form twice per year, approximately every six months. You may also request that I delete the message and I will do so within 10 business days.

At your election and with your consent, you may provide your email address and name to subscribe to receive my newsletters and other emails from me. The newsletter processor, Mailchimp.com, may also collect information (such as IP addresses) to track which links you open in the newsletter. If at any time you would like to be removed from my email and newsletter subscription list, you may (i) contact me directly at el*******@el***************.net, (ii) unsubscribe via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter, or (iii) contact my emaillist/newsletter processor Mailchimp. You may also contact me or Mailchimp to see what data we have about you, if any, change/correct/delete your data, or express any concern you have about our use of your data.

For the smooth functioning of the website, this website may use applications that create cookies. For more details about the use of cookies on this website, see my Cookie Policy.

I take reasonable technical precautions to protect your PII from loss, misuse, or alteration. I will not provide your email address or other PII to any other person other than (i) my newsletter, email, or mail processor (such as Mailchimp) or (ii) if required to be disclosed by law or in connection with any actual or threatened legal proceeding.

This website contains hyperlinks to other sites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. I encourage users to be aware when they leave and navigate away from my site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information. Note that buy links may include affiliate links.

From time-to-time, I may link to a contest that could collect PII. Participation in contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and email address). Contact information will be used only to notify the winners and to award and arrange to ship prizes.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an undated version on elizabethLangston.net. Any updates will be announced in my next regular newsletter. If you feel that I am not abiding by this privacy policy, you may contact me immediately via email (el*******@El***************.net).
