By using the petebauerbooks.com website, you agree to follow the conditions outlined in this Privacy Policy, which was created to inform you about the data we collect from you. It also explains when and how this information can be used or disclosed.
INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM USERS
When filling out a form on the site, you may be asked to provide your contact information. This personal information will only be used by Pete Bauer to contact you as per your request and it will not be transferred, sold or provided to any other party unless required by law. You have the right to not provide your contact information, but by declining you may not be able to submit the contact form or use some of the services or features offered on this site. This information is stored in our database on our server indefinitely (or until manually deleted).
If an e-commerce section is added to this site in the future, personal information will be requested so that your goods may be delivered. Such information may include name, address, phone number, email address, and more. This information would remain on file for at least seven years for tax purposes.
If you subscribe to Pete Bauer’s reader group, your name and email address will be kept private and saved on MailChimp’s or similar service’s secure servers. We will only email you to send you news about Pete Bauer’s latest publications and/or to offer free or discounted books from other authors you may enjoy. We do not share our newsletter subscriber list with other authors or marketing firms. Email information collected when you subscribed to Pete Bauer’s newsletter/reader group will remain on MailChimps or similar service’s server indefinitely, so that your subscription preferences (including date when you subscribed and unsubscribed, etc.) can be recorded.
A Facebook pixel appears on every page of this site to track the success of Facebook advertising campaigns. Email addresses collected by Pete Bauer can, at times, be uploaded collectively (not individually) to Facebook in order for its algorithms to create a “look-alike” group of similar Facebook users who may also be interested in Pete Bauer’s books. Individual email addresses are not used to target individual users on Facebook. The creation of “look-alike audiences” is a common practice used by Facebook advertisers when trying to expand their organic reach. It does not give Facebook the right to contact you using the email addresses that were uploaded.
If you leave a book review or any other comment for other readers to see, your comments may be used and posted by Pete Bauer without restriction and free of charge on our website and/or as deemed appropriate by Pete Bauer in other marketing efforts. You can always request to have these comments or reviews deleted at any time by contacting Pete Bauer by email at petebauerbooks@gmail.com.
