Privacy Policy for Ida Smith Books

PRIVACY POLICY: 

I HATE GETTING JUNK MAIL!

So, the last thing I’m going to do is fill your inbox with junk. I respect your privacy and I promise I won’t share or sell your email—not to anyone! INCLUDING: Desperadoes, Bandits, and Pirates. Neither will I fill your email with wanted posters, courses on cattle rustling, catalogs for eye-patches, pirate hooks, mail order spouses, or ads for Caribbean Cruises on ships flying flags with skulls and crossbones—among other things.

In addition, I use an email service called Aweber, who is also very concerned about your privacy. You can read their privacy policy here: Awber Email.

What will I send you?

I’ll introduce you to other authors with free or discounted books, fun surveys, free stories, information about upcoming books, book signings, opportunities to share your feedback on stories, author interviews, character interviews, book reviews, articles related to stories, and giveaways I run individually or with other writers. (Please note that other authors WILL NOT have access to your information unless you choose to sign up for their lists.)

How often will I email you?

I send out emails several times a month, a few more if I’m launching a new book.

How do you get on my list? 

You can only get on one of my email lists by signing up either on my website, through a book promo, or by giving me express permission in writing. The latter, is usually done at book signings.

I have two lists: Jagged Journeys’ Short Stories include a free short story every quarter which tend to have ahistorical and/or literary slant. Extras which might include: character interviews, book reviews, story background, a peek into the writing life, updates on books in progress, and sometimes even an author interview. I also share about book giveaways and discounted books with other authors. Learn More Here: Jagged Journeys’ Short Stories  

The other list is my Jagged Journeys’ New Releases which is geared more to mystery and thriller readers, though I will share about other book releases that don’t fit in those categories. I sometimes share free short stories with this group, updates on books in progress, interesting research findings, book giveaways and discounts.

How do I unsubscribe?

To unsubscribe simply look for the, “Unsubscribe” link or the “Change Subscriber Options” at the bottom of the emails I send you. (Note, if you’ve responded to one of my emails that link may not be there.)
