This privacy policy describes how Lyss Em Editing (lyssemediting.com) uses and protects any information that you give Lyss Em Editing when you use this website.
Visitor-Provided Information
Lyss Em Editing uses some forms to collect visitor names and email addresses. When you voluntarily provide your name and/or email address via a form connected to a reader incentive such as a free eBook or other type of file, or via a form which mentions a reader group or writer group, you are subscribing to an email newsletter. I will use the email address you provide to send you emails which may contain offers. You will also receive these emails if you have purchased a Lyss Em book from PayHip because when you make a purchase on PayHip, the email address you provide to PayHip will also be signed up to an email list. You can use the unsubscribe link inside these emails to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
If you are or have been a client of Lyss Em Editing (formerly Lyss.Press Editing), I will add your email address to a list to which I send an email newsletter. The emails which are part of this newsletter may contain offers. You can use the unsubscribe link inside these emails to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
In order to leave a comment on a blog post, you must provide a name and email address. The name you provide will be published next to your comment, but the email you provide will not. I will not use this email address or subscribe this email address to any newsletter unless you also provide this email address via a form connected to a newsletter.
In order to use the contact forms on this website, you must provide an email address. I will use this email address to reply to your message. I will not subscribe this email address to any newsletter unless you also provide this email address via a form connected to a newsletter.
I do not share the names and email addresses this website collects with anyone unless I have written permission, such as in the case of a Lyss Em Editing client’s name and email address being used to provide a reference to a potential client or employer.
