Privacy Policy

Effective date: 10.30.2025
Site: www.victoriacoleauthor.com (“Site”)
Owner: Victoria Cole (“I,” “me,” or “my”)
Contact: contact@victoriacoleauthor.com • Stellar Media, 42807 Ford Rd, STE 398, Canton, MI 48187


1) Information I Collect

Information you provide

  • Email address & name when you subscribe to my newsletter or contact me.
  • Comments you post on the blog (name, email, comment text).
  • Giveaway entries or form responses (only what you submit).


Information collected automatically

  • Technical & usage data like IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, and referring site (via cookies or similar tech).
  • Email analytics (open rates, clicks) if you subscribe.

I do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or 16 where applicable). If you believe I have, please contact me and I will delete it.


2) How I Use Your Information

  • Email updates: newsletters, new releases, promotions, event news.
  • Site operation & improvement: troubleshoot, protect against fraud/abuse, and understand what content readers enjoy.
  • Compliance: tax, accounting, and legal obligations.

Legal bases for EEA/UK visitors: consent (newsletters/optional cookies), performance of a contract (responding to your requests), legitimate interests (site security/analytics), and legal obligation.


3) Email Marketing & Your Choices

If you join the list, you will receive author updates. You can unsubscribe anytime using the link in every email. I use a third-party email service provider to manage the list and deliver emails.


4) Cookies & Analytics

This Site may use:

  • Essential cookies for basic functionality and security.
  • Performance/analytics cookies.
  • Affiliate link cookies from Amazon when you click book links (see Section 6).

If required in your region, a banner will let you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings.


5) Blog Comments & Community

When you leave a comment, the Site collects the data shown in the comments form (name, email), your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.


6) Amazon Links & Affiliate Disclosure

I link to my books on Amazon. These links may be affiliate links.
Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon may place a cookie on your device when you click an affiliate link, subject to Amazon’s own privacy policy.


7) Sharing Your Information

I share your information only with:

  • Service providers who help me run the Site and email list (hosting, email platform, analytics, security, spam filtering). They are bound by confidentiality and process data on my instructions.
  • Legal authorities if required by law or to protect my rights.

I do not sell personal information and I do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.


8) Data Retention

  • Email list: kept until you unsubscribe or I close the list.
  • Comments: remain on the blog unless you request removal.
  • Backups/records: kept for a reasonable period or as required by law.
  • Analytics data: retained per the tool’s default window (e.g., 14–26 months) unless configured otherwise.

9) International Transfers

I am based in MI, USA. Service providers may process data in other countries. Where required, I use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).


10) Security

I use reasonable technical and organizational measures (HTTPS, limited access, regular updates). No method is 100% secure. If a data incident affects you, I will notify you and authorities as required by law.


11) Third-Party Sites

My Site links to external sites (including Amazon). I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies before providing personal information.


12) Children’s Privacy

This Site and newsletter are intended for adults. If you are under the age where consent is required in your region, do not use the Site or submit personal information without a parent/guardian’s permission.


13) Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The Effective date above reflects the latest version. Significant changes will be posted on this page.
