To become an effective author, it is important that you are able to put your ideas into action, making sure you transmit the right message to your readers. This also requires patience, dedication, and of course, willpower. But how effective and creative should you be? Here are the ways.
LitFire Publishing is dedicated to protecting your privacy. The protection of your name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address, and credit card data is as important to us as it is to you. This Privacy Policy will answer your questions about security, access, and use of personal information on our website. We will explain how we collect, store, and process personal and financial information, as well as steps you can take to protect your privacy.
The Information We Collect
A. For all website visitors, regardless if you create an account with litfirepublishing.com, we collect the following information:
To collect this information, we apply third party applications, such as website analytics tools like Google Analytics. The information we collect will help us improve the site’s performance, user-friendliness and security. It also helps us tailor the content we display according to every visitor’s interests.
B. When you create an account with LitFire Publishing, we ask you to provide information that identifies you as an individual (personal information). This includes your full name, e-mail address, and a chosen password. These details are not necessary to use the website, but they are needed to use certain services. Your password is for accessing your account, so it must be as secure as possible. A good password includes a combination of random letters and numbers and is not obvious, such as a pet’s name or a favorite sports team.
The e-mail address you provide is where we will contact you regarding our range of services and product updates.
C. We will need additional information should you make a product or service order through the LitFire Publishing website:
Who Can See Your Personal Information?
We will collect your personal and credit card information only when you submit it to us. We will not sell or rent it to third party websites or companies, and we will use your details only to process your orders and to give you a personalized shopping experience. You agree that any content you post on forums, bulletin boards and other public areas within the website may be accessed, read and collected by other users, who may use information you post publicly to send you unsolicited e-mails. This Privacy Policy does not protect your content on these locations, but you can request removal of such content by e-mailing us.
How Your Information Is Processed and Protected
A. We strive to protect data confidentiality by using encryption technology. For maximum security, all your order information, including your name, contact number, billing address, shipping address, and credit card data, is encrypted using a secure server.
To handle and process your financial information and transactions, we cooperate with Verisign and PayPal, two of the most trusted names in ecommerce and payment processing. They receive your credit card data, verify your numbers and process your transaction. Payments can be made either via credit card or PayPal. You should be aware that it is your responsibility to protect your account and computer from unauthorized access.
Your financial data cannot be read or accessed as it travels through the ordering system. To take protective measures a step higher, we store only the last four digits of your credit card number on a server that cannot be accessed via Internet.
B. The LitFire Publishing website contains links to other sites that are not part of LitFire. Please know and understand that when you click a link to an external site, we have no control over that site and how your information will be processed. You will be subject to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of that new website. These links are presented on our pages merely to provide a convenient way to reach organizations and individuals affiliated or relevant to LitFire; they are not intended as implied endorsements of those websites.
Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Information
If you would like to access or change personal information we have about you, please sign in to your litfirepublishing.com account and edit your information from there. If you would like to delete your personal information stored in our servers, please contact us through e-mail. We will respond within ten business days from receipt of your request. Information that cannot be altered through your account can be updated by contacting us via e-mail or phone. Please credibly show us any error or information that needs to be changed or deleted.
To protect your privacy and confidentiality, we use reasonable efforts to verify your identity before granting you access to make changes, deletions or updates.
We will retain your information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you service.
Information Sharing
A. We may submit your personal and financial information to companies that help us accomplish our business activities, including third party booksellers and payment processors. These companies are authorized to use your information only when necessary to deliver their services to LitFire Publishing.
B. We may disclose your personal information when required by federal, state or local law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
C. If LitFire Publishing is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of all or a portion of its assets, we reserve the right to transfer personal information or non-personal information to a party involved in the merger, acquisition or sale to the extent that such information is necessary to carry out the merger, acquisition or sale.
