Privacy Policy
(Crammed with exceedingly important legalese)
(Crammed with exceedingly important legalese)
First, you need to know that Daisy Dexter Dobbs is a very nice, very honest writer and artist (she’s a chocoholic too, but doesn’t believe that’s pertinent here) who operates the DaisyDexterDobbs.com website, which provides information and links for books and ebooks. All information collected from this site is used only by Daisy, who promises she has no dastardly plan, or desire to misuse anyone’s information—because that just wouldn’t be right. Your information is only used for communication, marketing, and/or to help you get the most out of Daisy’s website.
This privacy policy contains lots of very necessary, and required, gobbledygook that had Daisy Googling for definitions and using the thesaurus to understand all the big words and legalese you’ll find below. But she gladly did it because she really cares about all her readers and knows this privacy stuff is super important to them (because it’s important to her too!). (Please don’t tell Daisy if it’s not important to you because she spent HOURS putting this privacy policy together. Thank you.)
Okay, ready? Here we go:
What information does this site collect?
Newsletter:
While Daisy can’t imagine why anyone would ever want to do it, she promises that you can unsubscribe from her fascinating newsletter with ease. Daisy uses MailerLite to manage her email marketing subscriber list and to send emails to her subscribers. They are third-party providers, which may process your data using industry standard technologies to help monitor and improve the newsletter. MailerLite’s privacy policy is available at https://www.mailerlite.com/privacy-policy.
If you voluntarily sign up for Daisy’s newsletter (you know, as opposed to being tied up and forced to subscribe), this site will record your email address and name. You can refuse to provide personal information, but that will exclude you from certain related activities such as receiving newsletters, other marketing materials and free offers. When subscribers click on a link in one of Daisy’s emails or fills out a form, the site may record this information (see below how this information is used). Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. You may ask for all your data to be deleted at any time.
Giveaways and Contests:
If you enter a giveaway, your name and email is collected. If you win a physical prize, you will be asked to give your name and physical address.
Ordering links:
If you purchase a book through a link on this website or associated social media pages (and Daisy sincerely hopes everyone reading this will do exactly that), your purchase will be handled by the vendor you select, such as Amazon, Kobo, Nook, Apple, Google Play, etc. They maintain their own separate information about you that is not shared with Daisy. (That’s good because Daisy is too busy writing fabulous books to spend time sneaking around into the private lives of her readers, as fascinating as those lives may be.)
Non-personal Information:
This website may collect non-personal information about visitors when they interact with the site. This information may include the browser name, means of connection to the site, and other non-identifying information.
Cookies:
As opposed to the chocolate chip variety, Daisy prefers oatmeal with lots of nuts and some coconut when she makes cookies but the kind they’re talking about here aren’t nearly as tasty. The cookies talked about here are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. This website may use cookies (not the oatmeal kind) to enhance visitor experience. Visitors may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to send an alert when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly. (Cookie talk has Daisy’s stomach growling now.)
How Is the Information Used?
Names and emails of newsletter subscribers will only be used for receiving the newsletters or communication from Daisy Dexter Dobbs.
Giveaway entrants will be sent emails only about the giveaway, unless they also signed up for the newsletter.
Information on which email links are clicked on the most will help Daisy choose links that interest readers in future emails.
Daisy Dexter Dobbs may use affiliate codes in some of the emails or on the site.
Sharing of Personal Information:
Subscriber information is never shared with a third party. (Daisy would hate it if anyone did that to her, so she won’t do it to you either.) The only exception is that email addresses may occasionally be used to create lookalike audiences for online marketing. This in no way distributes the emails or signs subscribers up to any other services.
Third-party links:
Sometimes Daisy Dexter Dobbs will include third-party links through email or on the website. These sites have their own policies and you should read those before subscribing or purchasing from them. (Daisy is wondering what happened to the first and second parties…maybe they just weren’t much fun, so people sashayed on over to the third party to see if that one was hopping.)
Security of Information:
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Use of the Website by Minors:
All subscribers must be 18 or older or have the consent of a parent or guardian. Seriously—if you’re underage, Daisy doesn’t want your parents to catch you sneaking through her website because they might slap her upside the head if they see her at a book signing or something, so just don’t do it, okay?
Changes to This Privacy Policy:
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Daisy may change this Privacy Policy from time to time, to reflect changing needs and legislation. She would advise you frequently check this page for any changes. When changes are made, we will post a notification on the Privacy Policy section of Daisy’s website. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use Daisy’s site.
Affiliate disclosure:
Daisy Dexter Dobbs/DaisyDexterDobbs.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
The Meaning of it All:
So…what all this stuff boils down to is that Daisy isn’t the sort of scummy, scammy ratfink who would ever consider stealing your personal, private information and somehow using it to scam you out of your retirement fund before she flies off to an uncharted island paradise where she’d be tended to by handsome, hunky pool boys who would cater to her every whim because she ignored the rules of this very important privacy policy. She sincerely hopes you feel much better about everything now.
