Who I am

This website belongs to author Daniella Colbert. When this policy says “I,” “me,” or “my,” it means Daniella Colbert. You can reach me at any time at daniellacolbertbooks@gmail.com.

What information I collect

Information you give me

  • Newsletter sign-up: your first name and email address.
  • Contact form: your name, email address, and your message.
  • Emails you send me: your email address and anything you include in your message.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site’s hosting servers automatically record some basic technical information when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. It’s used to keep the website running smoothly and securely.

I don’t currently use advertising or visitor-tracking tools. If I add a visitor statistics tool in the future, I’ll update this policy first.

How I use your information

  • To send you my newsletter, but only if you’ve signed up for it
  • To reply to your messages and questions
  • To keep this website secure and working properly

I don’t sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and I never will.

My newsletter

If you join my newsletter, I’ll send you book news, release updates, sneak peeks, and the occasional behind-the-scenes note. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, so you can stop receiving them at any time.

Subscriber names and email addresses are stored securely with Kit (kit.com), the email service that sends my newsletter on my behalf. Like most newsletter services, it may record whether an email was opened or a link was clicked. This helps me understand what readers enjoy.

Who I share information with

I only share your information with the services that help me run this website, and only as much as they need to do their job:

  • Website hosting: GoDaddy
  • Newsletter: Kit (kit.com)
  • Email: Google (Gmail), for messages you send me

These services may only use your information to provide their service to me. I may also share information if the law requires it.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that websites store in your browser. This website only uses essential cookies that it needs to work properly, for example to keep the site secure and to let me log in to manage it. It doesn’t use advertising cookies.

You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.

Other websites and services

This website links to other websites, such as Amazon and Goodreads, where you can buy or follow my books. Once you leave this site, their privacy policies apply, not this one.

Some parts of this site, such as fonts, may be loaded from services like Google, which can see your IP address when they deliver that content.

How long I keep your information

  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete your information
  • Messages: for as long as I need them to reply and keep a record of our conversation
  • Technical records: for a limited time, as set by my hosting provider

How I protect your information

This website uses a secure (SSL) connection, which is the padlock in your browser’s address bar, and I only work with reputable service providers. No website or email service can be completely secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your information.

Your choices and rights

You can ask me to:

  • tell you what personal information I have about you
  • correct anything that’s wrong
  • delete your information

Just email me at daniellacolbertbooks@gmail.com, and I’ll respond within 30 days. You can also unsubscribe from my newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.

Do Not Track: Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. This website doesn’t track visitors across other websites, and it doesn’t currently respond to Do Not Track signals because there’s no common standard for them.

Visitors from the UK and European Union: I use your information based on your consent (for my newsletter) and my legitimate interest in replying to your messages and keeping this website secure. You have the right to access, correct, delete, or move your information, to object to or restrict how it’s used, and to withdraw your consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. Please note that your information may be stored and processed in the United States.

Children’s privacy

My books are adult contemporary romance, and this website is intended for adult readers. It isn’t directed to children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has shared personal information with me, please contact me and I’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I’ll change the date at the top of this page.

Contact me

If you have any questions about this policy or your information, please email me at daniellacolbertbooks@gmail.com.
