Privacy Policy
Website address: https://jeffbuick.com
Novel Words Inc. (publisher for Jeff Buick’s thriller novels) collects only the basic website user information when you choose to browse Jeff’s website. We use it to see who visits us in order to make our website more appealing and our promotions more tailored to our user’s tastes. We encourage you to sign up for our newsletter, in which case we will need your valid email address, and hopefully your name (although not required) so we can keep in touch and email you with new offers and info on when to expect new books. Don’t worry, we can keep a secret, we don’t share anything you tell us.
That’s our privacy policy in a nutshell. The rest of this explains why you should care 🙂
What We Collect
If you’re just browsing this website, we use common Internet technologies and reporting tools to collect the same basic information that most other websites collect.
Exactly what sort of general information is that? Your browser type, language preference, referring website, IP address and the date & time of your visit.
How do we use this information?
If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the comment and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
We use the analytics from our reports to better understand our audience, then tailor our content to our fans and readers.
Newsletter Subscription
If you choose to subscribe to our mailing list, we need your name and email address to communicate with you effectively. While your name is not required, it makes things much more personal if you provide it and we can actually call you by name. All emails you receive from us will be sent through our secure third party system, which has an unsubscribe link in each email in case you decide you no longer want to be on Jeff’s preferred client list.
Ads, Analytics & Partners
From time to time we may partner with another business or author to promote a synchronous offer, and if your information is being sent to the other party, a notice will be provided for that promotion.
We use Google Analytics, which collects and stores the basic information listed above on the cloud. Again, the reason for this is to develop a meaningful relationship with our readership, and tailor our content, promotions, and offers so they are specific and meaningful to our audience.
Cookies anyone?
You can control or reset your cookies through your web browser, which allows you to customize how cookies are used and sent.
If anything changes…
We will do our best to let you know if anything changes to this policy by posting a notice ahead of time on this website. We will also send out an email to everyone who subscribes to our newsletter and mailing list. If you continue to use the website after the updated policy takes effect, then you have automatically agreed to the revised Privacy Policy.
Serious about Security
We take measures to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, our website is prefixed with HTTPS (which means it is a secure, encrypted site) while information is being transmitted.
