Information Authors May Provide
When you contact us, request a consultation, or submit book details, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, book title, author name, website or retailer links, and messages related to your publishing or review goals.
Website and Technical Data
The website may collect basic technical information such as browser type, device information, referring pages, general location data, and usage activity through hosting logs, analytics, security tools, or WordPress plugins.
Payment and Checkout Information
Payments for review services are collected through a Forminator form connected to PayPal. We receive the information you submit with the form and confirmation of payment, including the service selected, payment amount, and transaction reference. We do not collect or store full payment-card or bank-account details on this website. PayPal processes payment information under its own Privacy Statement.

Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers only when needed to operate the website, process forms, manage email delivery, support security, or fulfill requested services.
Data Retention
Messages, submissions, and service records may be retained for administrative, business, legal, or service continuity purposes unless deletion is requested and retention is no longer required.
Your Choices
You may contact us to request correction or deletion of personal information where applicable. Some records may need to be retained for legitimate business, security, or legal reasons.
