Effective Date: March 20, 2026
At Raelynn Writes Words, I value your privacy as much as I value a good story. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how it is used.
1. Information I Collect
I only collect information that you voluntarily provide or that is necessary for the website to function:
- Contact Information: If you reach out via my contact form or sign up for a newsletter, I collect your name and email address.
- Usage Data: Like most websites, this site uses cookies (small files saved to your browser) to understand how visitors move through the pages. This helps me improve the layout and content.
2. How Your Information is Used
Your data is used strictly for the following:
- To respond to your inquiries or comments.
- To send you updates about new book releases, blog posts, or special events (only if you have opted-in).
- To analyze website traffic and ensure the site is performing beautifully.
3. Third-Party Services
I do not sell or trade your personal information. However, I use trusted third-party services to keep this site running:
- Website Hosting: This site is hosted on GoDaddy, which may collect basic technical data.
- Retail Links: When you click a link to buy a book (like on Amazon or IngramSpark), those sites have their own privacy policies. I am not responsible for the data they collect once you leave this site.
4. Your Rights & Choices
You are in control of your information:
- Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from any future emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email.
- Data Request: You may request to see what information I have on file for you or ask that it be deleted by using the contact form on this site.
5. Children’s Privacy
While I write stories for children (like Halle's Star), this website is intended for parents, educators, and adult readers. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
6. Updates to This Policy
As my library of work grows, I may update this policy to reflect new features on the site. Any changes will be posted here with a new "Effective Date."
7. Contact
