1. Introduction

Welcome to the official website of E.W. Jenner.

I respect your privacy and am committed to handling the personal information you share with me responsibly, transparently, and securely.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and disclosed when you visit my website, contact me, explore my books, or follow links to third-party services.

My website is primarily an informational website for readers of my science fiction, fantasy, LitRPG, and children's literature. It provides information about my books, the Eidelorn Continuum, current writing projects, and future publications.

This policy is intended to address applicable privacy requirements in the United States, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Australia, and other jurisdictions where my readers may reside.

Privacy rights and legal obligations may vary according to your location.

3. Information Collected

When you contact me through the website, I may collect:

Your first name and, if provided, last name.
Your email address.
Your company or organization, if provided.
The reason for your inquiry.
Information included in your message.
Any additional information you voluntarily provide during subsequent correspondence.

You are not required to provide a telephone number or physical mailing address through the contact form.

Please do not include passwords, financial account numbers, government identification numbers, medical information, or other sensitive personal information in your message.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, Wix and enabled website services may automatically collect technical information, including:

Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Browser type and operating system.
Device information.
Pages visited and website interactions.
Approximate geographic region inferred from technical information.
Referring websites.
Dates and times of visits.
Cookie identifiers and similar technical data.

This information may be used for website operation, security, troubleshooting, and, where enabled and permitted, analytics.

The specific information collected depends on the website features and services in use.

4. How Your Information Is Used

Personal information may be used to:

Respond to reader questions, feedback, and correspondence.
Handle publishing, audiobook, media, speaking, and licensing inquiries.
Maintain and improve website functionality.
Protect the website from spam, fraud, malicious activity, and unauthorized access.
Understand website performance where analytics are enabled.
Comply with applicable legal obligations.
Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights when necessary.

Submitting a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to a newsletter or promotional mailing list.

I do not use contact-form submissions to send unsolicited marketing emails.

If a newsletter or email subscription service is introduced in the future, its collection, consent, and unsubscribe arrangements will be explained separately, and this policy will be updated as necessary.

5. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information

Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or United Kingdom GDPR applies, personal information is processed only where an appropriate legal basis exists.

Depending on the circumstances, those bases may include:

Legitimate interests: Responding to correspondence, operating and securing the website, preventing spam, and managing ordinary author-related activities, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Steps requested before entering a contract or performance of a contract: Handling an inquiry about a potential professional, licensing, publishing, or other contractual relationship.

Consent: Processing that requires your permission, including certain non-essential cookies or optional marketing subscriptions.

Legal obligations: Maintaining information or making disclosures where required by applicable law.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before consent was withdrawn.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website is hosted on the Wix platform, which may use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, security, and visitor preferences.

Depending on the website's configuration, cookies may fall into the following categories:

Essential cookies: Required for basic website operation, security, and essential functionality.

Functional cookies: Used to remember preferences or support optional features.

Analytics cookies: Used, when enabled, to understand website traffic and performance.

Marketing cookies: Used only if relevant marketing or advertising integrations are enabled.

Where applicable law requires consent, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be subject to the website's cookie consent controls.

You may manage eligible cookie preferences through the website's cookie settings, where available, or through your browser settings.

Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

For information about Wix's own data practices, visit:

https://www.wix.com/about/privacy

7. Contact Forms and Spam Protection

This website uses Wix Forms to receive inquiries.

Information submitted through the contact form is processed through Wix's website services and made available to me so that I can review and respond to your message.

The form uses spam-filtering tools, including advanced filtering and Google reCAPTCHA, to help prevent automated or fraudulent submissions.

Spam-protection services may process technical information, such as IP addresses, browser information, and interaction data, as necessary to identify suspicious activity.

Google's applicable privacy information is available at:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Submitting a message does not create an obligation to receive marketing communications.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

My website contains links to third-party platforms where visitors may purchase, listen to, or read my work.

These may include:

Amazon and Kindle.
Audible.
SoundBooth.
Royal Road.
Patreon.
Other booksellers, audiobook distributors, and publishing services.

When you follow an external link, you leave my website and become subject to the privacy practices and terms of the destination service.

I do not control how these independent services collect, use, or retain your information.

Unless a separate transaction service is introduced directly onto this website, book purchases and associated payment processing take place through the relevant third-party retailer or distributor.

I do not receive your complete payment-card information merely because you follow a purchasing link from my website.

Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.

9. Videos, Images, and Embedded Content

The website may display or embed book trailers, promotional videos, illustrations, and other media.

Some content may be hosted or delivered through Wix or third-party services.

When a third-party media player or embedded service is used, its provider may receive technical information necessary to deliver the content and may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own policies.

Where required, consent controls will be used for non-essential third-party tracking.

10. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

I do not sell visitor contact information or maintain a mailing list for sale to advertisers or data brokers. Personally, I find those that do sell others information detestable.

Personal information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary to:

Wix and other service providers supporting website hosting, forms, security, communications, and related functions.
Spam-prevention and security providers.
Professional advisers or service providers where necessary and subject to appropriate safeguards.
Government authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by applicable law.
Protect the legal rights, security, and legitimate interests of visitors, the website, or its operator.

Service providers may process information on my behalf or, for certain services, act as independent controllers of information they collect.

If the website's advertising, analytics, or data-sharing practices change, this policy and any required visitor controls will be updated accordingly.

11. International Data Transfers

This website is operated from the United States and uses Wix, a service provider with international operations.

Personal information may therefore be stored, accessed, or processed outside the country in which you live, including through international hosting infrastructure and service providers.

Where applicable privacy laws require safeguards for international transfers, appropriate legal transfer mechanisms or other permitted safeguards will be used.

Depending on the service and circumstances, these may include contractual protections or other legally recognized transfer arrangements.

You may request further information about applicable transfer safeguards through the privacy contact listed in this policy.

12. How Long Information Is Retained

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Contact-form inquiries and related correspondence are retained for [specify ordinary retention period, such as 24 months after the last meaningful interaction], unless a longer period is justified by an ongoing professional relationship, legal requirement, dispute, or other legitimate need.

Information relating to contracts, financial records, or legal obligations may be retained for longer periods where required.

Website security logs, analytics information, and cookie records may have different retention periods determined by their purpose and the settings of the relevant services.

When personal information is no longer required, reasonable steps will be taken to delete or securely dispose of it, or to de-identify it where appropriate.

13. Information Security

Reasonable measures are taken to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, and disclosure.

These measures include using established website-hosting and form-processing services, limiting access to submitted information, and maintaining appropriate account-security practices.

No website, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

If a security incident involving personal information occurs, I will assess the incident and take action, including notification where required by applicable law.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have the right to:

Request confirmation of whether personal information about you is being processed.
Access personal information held about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of personal information, subject to lawful exceptions.
Request restrictions on certain processing.
Object to certain uses of personal information.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Request a portable copy of certain information where applicable.
Opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities where applicable law provides those rights.
Raise a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data protection authority.

Requests may be submitted using the privacy contact details in Section 2.

I may request reasonable information to verify your identity before disclosing or deleting personal information.

Requests will be reviewed and answered within the time limits required by applicable law.

Exercising your applicable privacy rights will not result in unlawful discrimination or retaliation.

15. Additional Information for European Economic Area and United Kingdom Visitors

If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to your information, you may have additional rights relating to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and applicable automated decision-making.

You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country.

United Kingdom residents may contact the Information Commissioner's Office:

https://ico.org.uk/

European Union and European Economic Area residents may contact their relevant national data protection authority.

Where required, details of any appointed EU or UK representative will be made available in this policy.

I do not intentionally use personal information collected through this website to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

Providing contact information is voluntary, but a working email address and sufficient message details are ordinarily necessary if you want a reply.

16. Additional Information for United States Residents

Certain U.S. state privacy laws provide eligible residents with additional rights concerning the collection, disclosure, correction, deletion, and use of personal information.

Where such laws apply, I will honor applicable rights requests, subject to legally permitted exceptions.

Categories of personal information potentially collected through this website include identifiers, contact information, communications, and internet or network activity information.

These categories are collected for the purposes described in this policy.

I do not intentionally sell contact-form information to third parties.

If website integrations result in activities legally classified as selling or sharing personal information or using it for targeted advertising, the applicable disclosures and opt-out mechanisms will be provided.

Applicable legally recognized opt-out preference signals will be honored where required by law.

17. Additional Information for Australian Visitors

Where the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles apply, Australian visitors may request access to personal information held about them and request correction of inaccurate information.

Australian visitors may also submit a privacy complaint through the contact information in Section 2.

Complaints will be reviewed, and a response will ordinarily be provided within 30 days where practicable. If more time is required, the complainant will be informed.

If a complaint remains unresolved, eligible individuals may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner:

https://www.oaic.gov.au/

As described in Section 11, information submitted through this website may be processed by service providers operating outside Australia.

18. Children's Privacy

This website provides information about books, including children's literature, but the contact form and general website communications are intended primarily for adults.

I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the contact form without appropriate authorization, or from older minors where consent or authorization is required by applicable law.

Parents or guardians are encouraged to supervise children's use of online contact forms and external websites.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate authorization, please contact me so the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

The website does not knowingly use children's personal information for targeted advertising.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website features, service providers, business practices, or legal requirements.

Any updates will be published on this page with a revised Last Updated date.

Where required by law, additional notice or consent will be obtained before material changes take effect.

Visitors are encouraged to review this policy periodically.
