Who we are

This policy explains how Author Book Consultants (“we”, “us”) collects and uses personal information when you visit this website, contact us, or work with us. You can reach us at [EMAIL] or [PHONE], or write to us at [STREET ADDRESS, CITY, STATE ZIP].

Information we collect

We collect the information you choose to give us, such as:

• your name, email address, and phone number;
• what you tell us about your book;
• whether you agreed to be contacted by phone or text message;
• notes from our conversations with you.

When you become a client, we may also receive your manuscript, recordings, photographs, and other materials for your book.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may record basic technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to keep the website secure and working.

Cookies, storage, and photos

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. If you change the text size, your choice is saved in your own browser so it is remembered on your next visit. It is not sent to us.

Photos on this website are loaded from Unsplash’s image service, so your browser connects to Unsplash to show them. Unsplash may receive technical information such as your IP address.

[OWNER: update this section if you add analytics, a chat tool, or other third-party services.]

• reply to your request and arrange a consultation;
• prepare your written plan, quote, and agreement;
• work on your book;
• call or text you, only if you agreed to this;
• meet our legal, tax, and accounting duties.

We do not sell your personal information.

Your manuscript and materials

Manuscripts, recordings, photographs, and other materials are used only to create your book and are kept confidential. [OWNER: confirm how long materials are kept and how they are returned or deleted.]

Who we share information with

We share information only when we need to, for example with team members working on your book, and with service providers such as email, file storage, and website hosting. These providers may use your information only to provide their services to us.

We may also share information where the law requires it.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, including legal and accounting requirements. [OWNER: confirm retention periods.]

Keeping information secure

We use reasonable measures to protect personal information. No method of sending or storing information is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

You can ask us to show, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. Depending on where you live, state privacy laws may give you more rights. To make a request, contact us using the details above.
