For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “I,” “me,” and “my” refer to Noah R. Marin, the operator of this website.

By using this website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read this Privacy Policy. Where consent is legally required for a particular activity, I will seek that consent as required by applicable law.
 

2. Information I Collect

Depending on how you interact with my website, I may collect the following types of information.

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

• Subscribe to my newsletter or mailing list.

• Send me a message through a contact form or email.

• Participate in a reader survey, giveaway, or promotion.

• Submit a comment, review, or other content.

• Purchase books, merchandise, or other products directly through my website, if available.

This information may include your name, email address, mailing address, and the contents of your message or submission. Payment information may also be processed if you make a purchase through the website.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit my website, certain information may be collected automatically by the website, its hosting provider, or other services I use. Depending on the tools configured, this information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address.

• Browser type and device information.

• Operating system and screen characteristics.

• Pages visited and links clicked.

• Date, time, and duration of visits.

• Referring websites and general usage information.

This information may be used to maintain website security, troubleshoot technical issues, understand website performance, and improve the visitor experience.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

My website or its third-party services may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions, remember preferences, analyze website traffic, or provide other features.

Where required by law, nonessential cookies or similar technologies will be used only after the necessary consent has been obtained.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or through a cookie preference tool provided on this website. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.
 

3. How I Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.

• To understand how visitors interact with website content.

I will use personal information only for purposes permitted by applicable law.
 

4. Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to my newsletter, I may use your email address to send author news, book announcements, publication updates, event information, and other communications described when you sign up.

You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in an email or by contacting me directly at nonobear07@yahoo.com.

Unsubscribing from promotional emails will not necessarily stop essential messages relating to an order or another transaction, if applicable.

I may use a third-party email marketing provider to manage subscriptions and deliver messages. That provider may process your information on my behalf in accordance with its applicable terms and privacy practices.
 

5. How I Share Information

I do not sell your personal information for money. I may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary and permitted by law:

Service Providers

I may share information with companies that help operate my website or provide services, such as website hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, shipping, and website security.

These providers may access information as needed to perform their services, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

Third-Party Platforms

My website may link to or integrate with external services, including online bookstores, social media platforms, publishers, and event services.

If you interact with these services, they may collect information directly from you under their own privacy policies.

Legal and Security Reasons

I may disclose information when I reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, respond to valid legal requests, protect the rights or safety of others, investigate fraud, or protect the security of my website.

Business Transfers

If my website or related business is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy requirements.

I do not use or disclose personal information for purposes unrelated to those described in this policy without an appropriate legal basis or consent where required.
 

6. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external websites, including book retailers, publisher websites, social media profiles, and other resources.

I do not control the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that provider's own terms and privacy policy.

I encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.
 

7. Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or accounting obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When personal information is no longer needed, I will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise dispose of it securely, subject to applicable legal requirements.
 

8. Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, online service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. I cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

You should exercise care when sharing personal information online.
 

9. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include:

• Access: Request information about the personal information I hold about you.

• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Deletion: Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.

• Data portability: Request a copy of certain personal information in a usable format.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact me at [Privacy Contact Email]. I may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

I will respond in accordance with applicable law. Some requests may be subject to legal exceptions or limitations.
 

10. Additional Information for California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the CCPA), may provide you with additional privacy rights, depending on whether and how the law applies to my activities.

Subject to applicable requirements and exceptions, these rights may include:

• The right to know certain information about the personal information collected, used, disclosed, or shared about you.

• The right to request access to and deletion of certain personal information.

• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.

• The right to opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information, as those terms are defined by California law.

• The right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable.

• The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

I do not sell personal information for money. However, certain uses of advertising, analytics, or tracking technologies may qualify as “sharing” or other regulated activities under applicable privacy laws. Whether this applies depends on the technologies actually used on this website.

Where required, I will provide an appropriate method for submitting privacy requests or exercising opt-out rights.

To submit a privacy request, contact nonobear07@yahoo.com.
 

11. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not knowingly designed to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

I do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without the consent or authorization required by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact me at nonobear07@yahoo.com. I will review the matter and take appropriate action as required by law.
 

12. International Visitors

Depending on your location and the services used to operate this website, your personal information may be processed in a country other than the country where you live.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, I will take the measures required by that law.
 

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to my website, the services I use, my information-handling practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, I will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If required by law, I will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes.

I encourage you to review this page periodically.
