Dear wonderful
readers,
As of May 25, 2018 there are
new regulations going into effect to protect your personal data. Consider this
page to be my full acknowledgement of the new European GDPR (General Data
Protection Regulations) as it affects my readers/authors/bloggers/publisher,
etc. outside of the United States, and reassures my readers within the US.
LEGAL DISCLOSURE
How This Affects Subscribers:
At this time,
I only use Feedburner (a Google product) to obtain subscribers to my blog. As
such, you, yourself, have to personally sign up to receive emails from me and
you, yourself, have to authorize these emails (which you will receive almost
daily, as that is how I have my blog posts published). I do NOT manually
subscribe anyone to any email list or subscription. The email addresses are
stored in the Google platform, and yes, I have access to them - HOWEVER, I
never use the email addresses stored in Feedburner for any reason outside of
what they are stored for - getting a daily email from me with my daily blog
posts listed for your convenience. You are able to UNSUBSCRIBE at any time and
you will not hear from me again (unless you change your mind and resubscribe).
FYI ~ This is
the message you receive from Feedburner after signing up to receive emails of
my blog posts:
You
received this message because someone requested an email subscription for (your
email will be shown here) to a FeedBurner feed. If you did not make this
request, please ignore the rest of this message.

How This
Affects Commentors:
If you leave
comments on any of my blog posts, you understand that I have access to your
comments, as do others. If you use the Blogger/Google platform, you also have a
profile. By leaving a comment on my blog, I, along with anyone else who visits
my blog, can click on your user name link in the post and visit your
blog/website, profile, or whatever landing page you have associated with your
name in the comments. I do not have control over that. You information is only
collected for the comment and is not used for any other purpose. Sapphyria's
Books, Sappyria's Book Promotions, or any other entity I own will not use this
information to contact you for any reason. I moderate comments that are posted
more than a week after a post has gone live and anyone who posts anonymously.
Also, I use the highest spam guard on Blogger to catch anything else that looks
fishy. All spam or inappropriate comments are submitted to Google as spam and
permanently deleted.
How This
Affects Giveaways:
Any physical
addresses or email addresses that I collect for the purpose of providing a
giveaway (free physical books, free ebooks, free giftcards, free bookmarks,
other free promotional items) are only used for that purpose. I either provide
the free item myself, or I forward your information on to the author, giveaway
host, promotional company, publishing company, or supplier of the item in order
for them to send you your prize. Please keep in mind that you are voluntarily
providing your personal information in exchange for the chance to win something
free of charge, or because you won something free of charge. If you don't want
to have your personal information stored or handled by anyone, please do not
enter the giveaway.
I never sell
or share physical or email addresses, except for what I noted above regarding
giveaways.
Additional
Information:
If you are a
tour host for Sapphyria's Book Promotions, you have agreed to allow me to send
you tour invitations for books authors/publishing companies have hired me to
promote. Each tour invitation I send out has a spot at the end for you to
choose to become a member of my team, not become a member of my team, or to
remain a member of my team. Your information is safely stored in a Google Doc
and/or Google Spreadsheet. I do not, and will not, ever sell your personal
information with anyone, nor will I ever share your information with anyone
without your expressed permission.
I may eventually create a
MailChimp newsletter. I will update this blog page when that occurs.
