At Literary Inspired, your privacy matters. This policy outlines how I collect, use, and protect your information when you visit my website, request ARC management, sign up for services, or get in touch about your author business.
Who I Am
I’m Meg Kelly, the person behind Literary Inspired. I offer digital marketing services for indie authors—everything from ARC campaigns to web design. You can reach me at [email protected] with any questions.
What I Collect
When you use my services or visit my site, I may collect personal information like your name, email address, social media handles, book details (title, tropes, blurb, release date), or your author website and platform links. This happens when you fill out a form, sign up for a newsletter, book a service, or message me directly.
Some data may also be collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, and how you navigate my site. These help improve the site experience.
How I Use Your Information
I use the information you provide to deliver the services you’ve asked for—like setting up your ARC campaign, emailing your readers, or sending you updates about your project. I may also use your data to improve my site or share relevant updates through my newsletter if you’ve opted in.
I will never sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. Everything stays between us unless you give explicit permission.
Legal Basis for Processing (for EEA Users)
If you’re located in the European Economic Area (EEA), your data is handled lawfully under one of the following bases: consent (like when you sign up for a newsletter), contractual obligation (when you hire me), or legal compliance (such as record-keeping for invoicing).
How I Protect Your Data
Your data is stored securely in trusted systems like Google Workspace, BookFunnel, Substack, Meta Business Suite, and ToDoist. These platforms use secure encryption and data protection protocols. Only I—and any collaborators directly working on your project—can access your information. I keep your data only for as long as needed to complete the work or meet legal obligations.
Your Rights
You can request access to the data I hold about you, ask for corrections or deletions, or withdraw consent at any time. If you ever want to unsubscribe from my newsletter or be removed from my records, just let me know. I’ll sort it quickly and respectfully. Email me at [email protected].
Cookies and Tracking
I may use cookies on my site to improve performance, analyze traffic, and remember your preferences. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer.
Third-Party Services
Some third-party tools I use—like PayPal, Google Forms, Substack, and BookFunnel—have their own privacy policies. I only work with services that respect your data and follow industry-standard practices.
Children’s Privacy
My website and services are not intended for anyone under the age of 16. I do not knowingly collect data from minors.
Changes to This Policy
This privacy policy may change from time to time as my services evolve or as legal requirements shift. The most current version will always be available on my website, and the update date will be clearly noted.
Questions?
If you have any concerns about how your data is handled—or just want to chat about it—email me directly at [email protected].
