The Site is also referred to herein as the “Services”.

  1. Introduction : This Privacy Policy explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your Personal Information is collected and used in connection with the Services.
    “Personal Information” means any information that may be used, alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify an individual e.g. first and last name, email address, physical or mailing address, phone number, or other contact or biographical data.
  1. Terms of Use / Incorporation. This Privacy Policy forms part of our Terms of Use (or Terms & Conditions) of the Site. Any capitalized but undefined term in this Privacy Policy shall have the meaning given to it in the Terms.
  1. Consent and Modification. You are not legally obligated to provide Personal Information. By using the Services, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and to our collection, processing, and sharing of Personal Information as described herein. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or otherwise use the Services. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes will become effective ten (10) days after posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Site. Your continued use of the Services after the changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
  1. What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It. We do not require you to provide Personal Information simply to browse publicly available content on the Site. However, we do collect Personal Information in the following circumstances:

 

4.1 “Contact Us” Communications. If you send us a message or inquiry (e.g. via a contact form or email), you may be asked to provide Personal Information such as your name, email address, phone number, and other details. 

 

4.2 Purchases and Services. If you purchase services (e.g. publishing, distribution, marketing) through the Site, we will collect the information necessary to process your order and provide the service. This may include name, address, payment or billing information, and order details. We do not store full credit card details on our servers; payments are processed via secure, third-party payment processors.

 

4.3 Log Files. We may collect technical and usage information automatically, such as IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and clickstream data. We use this data to analyze trends, administer the Site, and understand usage patterns.

 

4.4 Cookies and Tracking Technologies. We may use cookies, anonymous identifiers, and similar technologies to provide and improve our Services, handle sessions, and remember your preferences. Some cookies may store or link to personal identifiers like IP addresses. Most browsers allow you to manage or block cookies.

 

4.5 Analytics. Although you said you don’t currently use Google Analytics or similar, if you later enable analytics tools, you should disclose them here (as Spines does) and explain how such data is handled.

  1. Publicly Available Information. If you post content, such as author profiles, manuscripts, or other materials, those may be visible to other users or even to the public. Be cautious about posting personal contact information in publicly viewable areas. Any biographical or profile information you provide may become publicly visible.
  1. How We Use Personal Information. We may use Personal Information in various ways, including but not limited to: To provide, maintain, and improve our Services. To process transactions, billing, and payments. To communicate with you (service updates, support requests, promotional materials). To send you newsletters, marketing offers, or service announcements (if you opt in). To authenticate and identify you in our system. To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights. To detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, misuse, or illegal activities
  1. Sharing of Personal Information. We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal Information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances: With our internal employees or contractors on a need-to-know basis (editors, designers, project managers). With third-party payment processors (strictly to process transactions). When required by law, regulation, or court order. To enforce our Terms (e.g. investigating violations). To protect rights, property, or safety of Global Publishing Services, our clients, or others

 

All recipients of your data must agree to maintain confidentiality and adhere to this Privacy Policy.

  1. Use of Anonymous or Aggregate Information. We may convert Personal Information into anonymous or aggregated data (which cannot be used to identify an individual). Such data may be used internally or shared externally to analyze trends and improve Services.
  1. Opting Out / Communication Preferences. You may opt out of receiving promotional or marketing emails from us by using the “unsubscribe” link in such emails. Even if you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional, administrative emails (e.g. billing, service or support communications).
  1. Your Rights. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your Personal Information by contacting us at support@globalpublishingservice.com. We will respond in accordance with applicable U.S. and Florida law.

 

If we decline your request, we will provide you with a reason unless prohibited by law.

  1. Children’s Privacy. Our Services are not intended for children under age 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will promptly delete it.

 

If you believe we have any information concerning a minor under 13, please contact us.

  1. Security. We use industry-standard safeguards (administrative, technical, and physical) to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Nonetheless, no security system is infallible; we cannot absolutely guarantee data security.

 

  1. Merger, Acquisition, Bankruptcy. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your Personal Information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same protections and obligations under this Privacy Policy.
  1. Florida / State Privacy Rights. Because we are based in Florida, residents of Florida have a right to request details about how we collect and use personal data. To make such a request, contact us at support@globalpublishingservice.com.

 

We will comply with state privacy laws to the extent they apply.
