In regard to a ‘privacy policy’ on social media, I don’t collect or keep any information that isn’t posted openly by you on my pages and feeds. By ‘collect or keep’ I mean your comments are available to everyone who follows my pages (or feeds). If you decide to subscribe to my newsletter however, I will ask for a bit more info. Even then, what you give me is entirely up to you.
GDPR
I’m sure you’re sick to death of hearing about the new General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”) which come into effect on 25th May. I’m sorry I have to bring it up here, but unfortunately, I must.
To help comply with GDPR consent requirements, I require confirmation that you would like to receive content. I have already mailed out that letter to subscribers; if you didn’t get it and wish to remain subscribed to Tamyrh Quarterly, contact me at: tamyrh_quarterly@jirogers-author.com and let me know.
You are, of course, free to unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe ‘X’ button in any of my newsletters or by e-mailing me directly at the above address. I’ll honor your request immediately and remove you from the list.
How do I use your personal information?
The required info I ask for is your name and email address, which is stored securely on Mailchimp’s servers. I also ask for a birth-date and age, but those aren’t essential (I just use them for tracking my demographic and mailing out birthday cards).
I’m a big believer in personal privacy. I will never disclose your information to anybody else – Ever.
Have you signed up to be spammed?
For those who are new to my subscriber list – You’ll receive my newsletter, Tamyrh Quarterly (four per year), and the odd, subscriber update (maybe two).
What can you expect – format wise?
Tamyrh Quarterly newsletter e-mail will come in the standard html format with your issue as an attached .PDF.
Any Mailchimp messages will be notices/alerts I need to track (yes, it lets me see who’s received/opened the message) will also be html to allow for related images.
Tamyrh Quarterly is free – a gift for people who enjoy my writing and filled out the sign-up form. Each issue contains a new, short-story set in my world, author updates, and news. You won’t be bombarded with ads.
Image: First three issues – Between 9 – 15 pages long
My Six-Word Story Challenges are daily; what about that?
This does not cover subscribers to my blog – you already have control over how often/in what format you receive those alerts.
Cheers,
J. I. Rogers
