Privacy Policy

I will not share any of your information with third parties unless compelled to do so by law enforcement. I am an author looking to build a good relationship with my audience, not a data collection agency. While I do participate in cross-promotions with other authors, I do not ever share your information with those authors. Instead, I contact my list with the promotional information, and the other author or authors contact their own lists.

Here is what you can expect from me if you sign up for my newsletter:
  • A welcome series of emails introducing you to me and my books, as well as a series of emails relevant to any books you choose to download as a thank you gift.
  •  For my main newsletter: A twice-monthly newsletter containing sneak peeks of whatever I'm working on or excerpts from my previously published books and features on discounted books by other indie authors. You will also be notified whenever I release a new book.
  • For my romance newsletter: A once-monthly excerpt from one of my romances or romantic comedies

As far as data gathering goes, I use MailerLite for my newsletters. MailerLite is located in Europe and is fully GDPR-compliant. Aside from your email address and name, if you choose to provide it, I am able to see which links you click in my newsletters. MailerLite also enables me to see which subscribers open which newsletters. I use this information to help me better tailor the content of my newsletters.

Your personal data is all stored on MailerLite's servers, and I am not responsible for any security breaches to their system. Should one occur, though, I will inform you once I've heard from MailerLite.

For more detailed information about MailerLite, you may visit their privacy policy page.

If at any time you would like a copy of the information I hold on you, you may email me at nicole@nciacchella.com to request a free copy.

If you want to unsubscribe from my newsletter, all you need to do is click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of one of my newsletters. It appears on every newsletter I send. If you choose to unsubscribe and would like me to purge your personal data, you may email me at nicole@nciacchella.com and I will do so.

I do not track users via my website, but I do use Amazon Affiliates linking. This means that if you click an Amazon link on my site, Amazon will know you reached their store through my website. This costs the user nothing, but it enables me to earn a small advertising fee. It does not influence which books I feature on my site or in my newsletters. For more information on what Amazon does with your data, please refer to Amazon's privacy policy.

Weebly, my website provider, may track your information. For more details, please refer to Weebly's privacy policy.

BookFunnel and instafreebie, the services I use to provide free books, may also collect information on you. You may view BookFunnel's privacy policy and instafreebie's privacy policy for more details.

My website and blog contain links to other sites, and I am not responsible for their policies and practices.

Children under 15: My website, newsletter, and adult books are intended for people ages 17 and up. My young adult novels may be appropriate for children ages 15 and older. If you are a minor, and especially if you are younger than age 15, please do not subscribe to my newsletter or offer me any other personal information.
