Privacy Policy

Updated 8/25/2026

Section 1: Document Ownership & Editorial Rights

You retain full ownership and all intellectual property rights to any documents, manuscripts, images, text, and other materials you share with me within the context of our business relationship. Your materials are kept strictly confidential and will never intentionally be shared, distributed, or published without your explicit consent. Title details, project specifics, and planned release dates also remain confidential until publication.

I retain the intellectual property rights to the raw edits, in-line comments, structural suggestions, and editorial revisions generated during our work together until the end of our contract.

A contract does not officially end until full payment has been completed. Upon the completion of full payment and the end of our contract, my rights to those edits expire, and the completed work—including all integrated editorial updates—belongs entirely to you.

Section 2: What Do We Do With Your Information?

When you purchase a service from me, as part of the buying and selling process, I collect the personal information you give me, such as your name, address, and email address. When you browse my website, I also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to provide me with information that helps me learn about your browser and operating system.

Email Marketing: With your permission, I might send you relevant emails about my services and other updates.

Section 3: Consent

When you provide me with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, or place an order, we imply that you consent to my collecting it and using it for that specific reason.

If I ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, I will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you can withdraw your consent for me to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time by request.

Section 4: Disclosure

I will disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if you violate my Terms of Service.

Section 5: Third-Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by me will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to me.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies with respect to the information I am required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. For these providers, I recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by them.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or me. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave my website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or my website’s Terms of Service.

Links: When you click on links on my website, they may direct you away from my site. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Section 6: Security

To protect your personal information, I take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

If you provide me with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, I follow all PCI-DSS requirements.

Cookies: Yes, this website uses cookies. Om nom nom. It’s up to you to accept, reject, or customize cookies.

Section 7: Age of Consent

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given me your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

Section 8: Changes to This Privacy Policy

I reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If I make material changes to this policy, I will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
