Privacy Policy

Who operates this website

This is the official author website for Lyn Forester. For privacy questions or requests, email info@lynforester.com.

Information you choose to share

If you email me, I receive the information you include in your message, such as your name, email address and correspondence, and use it to respond. If you choose to subscribe to my newsletter, the signup service may collect your email address and any additional information you voluntarily provide through its form.

Email newsletter

The newsletter signup on this website uses Kit, a third-party email platform, to manage subscriptions and distribute author news, book announcements, and occasional updates. Kit processes subscriber information on my behalf under its own privacy practices. See Kit’s privacy policy. You will be able to unsubscribe using the link included in newsletter emails. This policy will be reviewed once the live signup form is installed.

Technical information and cookies

Like most websites, the hosting provider and your browser may process technical information required to deliver the site, including IP address, browser information, time of request, and security or server logs. This version of the site does not include a separate advertising pixel or website analytics script. External services or future newsletter forms may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies; this section will be updated if those features are added.

Links to other websites

Book covers and retailer buttons link to external stores or universal book links. Social media links and links to my other pen names also lead to independently operated websites. These services may collect information when you visit them, and their privacy policies apply. Some retailer links use link-shortening or redirect services. I do not control the privacy practices of those destinations.

How information is used and shared

Information you provide is used to respond to messages, manage newsletter subscriptions when enabled, send the emails you request, and maintain the security and operation of the site. Information may be processed by service providers necessary for those purposes, including my hosting provider and, once connected, Kit. I do not sell email subscriber information to advertisers.

Retention and your choices

Correspondence is retained only as reasonably needed to answer and manage messages or for legitimate recordkeeping. When newsletter subscriptions are enabled, subscriber records are retained while you are subscribed or as needed for compliance and suppression of unsubscribed addresses. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. For questions about access, correction, or deletion of information you provided, contact info@lynforester.com. Some requests may be subject to legal or operational retention requirements.

Children’s privacy

This author website promotes adult and new-adult fiction and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact me.

Changes to this policy

As website features change—including the addition of a live newsletter form—this policy may be revised. The date at the top will reflect the most recent update.
