Privacy Policy
Last Updated on: May 24th, 2018
This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Charles Ray – Author collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from people who use this site.
Particular areas of the world now require different privacy disclosures, so please read the entire policy to make sure you fully understand Wording Well’s practices.
This policy was revised on May 24, 2018, to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union (EU).
Basically, wherever you live in this world, the following applies to you, if you use my site:
Email Sign-ups
I will on occasion offer freebies in exchange for your email address.
When you give me your email address, you are agreeing to let me email you the freebie AND also be put on my email subscriber list, which allows me to send you emails from time to time that:
• lets me notify you of new blog posts
• ask for your help with a decision (for example, decide on a name for a book or course)
• lets me ask you to take a survey
• etc.
You are free to unsubscribe at any time from this list. There are detailed “unsubscribe” instructions at the bottom of each email.
Purchases Via Both Direct Links and Affiliate Links
If you happen to buy something from me (such as one of my books through this siet), through PayPal, the information you provide is secure and confidential. Encryption is used to make sure all data is safe and secure.
Affiliate Disclosures (and an introduction to Cookies)
Some of the links used on this site are affiliate links. If you click on one of my affiliate links and make a purchase, I will receive a commission.
If you happen to click one of my affiliate links, your subsequent clicks will be tracked by others, via something called “cookies.” Cookies are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer to track particular aspects of your activity online and are used for the purpose of ensuring that I get paid my affiliate commission.
In the latter case, “others” is used to refer to the people and companies with whom I have signed up as an affiliate for. These include the Amazon Associates program, various web-hosting companies, etc.
This also applies to any ads you click on, as I will receive a small commission from Google AdSense.
More About Cookies
Cookies are also used by third parties to track certain things.
For example, Google Analytics uses cookies to track where my visitors come from. This helps me know where my audience is located, the age ranges of my audience, etc.
SlideShare also uses cookies, to save your preferred language.
If you don’t want any cookies put on your computer, you can change your cookie settings in your browser.
