HollyLisle.com Privacy Policy

I'm Holly Lisle. This is my site, and I understand the importance of your privacy. I, too, use the Internet. I know how I wish to be treated, and I will treat you the same way.

I will never willfully disclose individually identifiable information about my customers to any third party without first receiving that customer's permission. Examples of disclosing third-party information with your permission include transferring you to PayPal so that you can purchase books or courses, and using your PayPal e-mail address to pay you if you are an affiliate.

You can sleep well knowing your information will not leave my office.

1. Will HollyLisle.com ever send spam to my email address ?

I do not spam. (I like SPAM^TM, the questionable canned meat product that is an artifact of my childhood, but I hate spam.) I don't spam, and I won't ever sell, rent, or give away your personal information, or share it with anyone else. I will only, ever, email with writing-related information. If you join my mailing list, this is what you'll get: "In this list, I offer writing inspiration, tips and tricks I've learned about writing over the years, encouragement, and answers to writing questions. This is, in fact, the ONLY place I answer writing questions anymore, because they were coming at me from all directions. I'll also let you know when I have a new book or writing course coming out, and will inform you of new products in the HollyShop, or upgrades to products you already own. For hanging in with me, I'll give you exclusive beta-test offers for the stuff I'm working on, member-only discounts to the shop, and other goodies as they occur to me. Plus you can read the members-only archives." If you request e-mailed courses, you'll be informed of the number of lessons and their frequency before you sign up. At any time, you can discontinue these e-mails by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email.

If you join the affiliate program, you agree to receive the HollyShop Affiliate Updates from me as part of your terms of service. If you wish to stop receiving these, you must request the cancellation of your affiliate account.

2. Why do I collect user information when you download ?

When you download a paid e-book, course, or software, I log your Name, Email Address and IP address. I do this to help detect illegal downloads and software piracy. My site downloads are quite popular and believe it or not, there are some crooked people out there that try to steal it.

3. How is the information I collect used ?

If you have requested them or purchased them, I send out e-mail courses, e-books, and product announcements. If you haven't specifically asked to receive them (and this includes registered users who have purchased e-books or software but who have not specifically asked to be notified about upgrades) you'll never hear from me.

If you are an affiliate, I use the information to track money owed to you, and to pay you.

4. Will this personal information ever be used for any other purpose ?

The only time I would ever use your personal information for any other reason is to aid the proper authorities in finding fraudulent credit card charges or in finding those responsible for illegal distibution or piracy of site e-books and software.

5. Will I ever sell this information to a third party for advertising ?

Never. Not ever, not under any circumstances. Nor will I rent it or give it away. As I said above, I'll treat you the way I hope other sites will treat me.

If you have questions about my usage of your personal information, please contact me.
