Your data = Safe with me
Privacy Policy
Last updated august 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Callie Fowler (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit www.calliefowlerwrites.com (the “Website”). Your privacy matters to me. This Website is primarily intended to provide information about my books, writing, author news, editing services, and related work. I collect only the information reasonably necessary to operate the Website, communicate with readers, understand how the Website is used, and provide services or content you request.
Information I Collect
Information You Provide: I may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including:
- Your name and email address when you subscribe to my newsletter;
- Information you provide when you contact me through the Website or by email;
- Information you provide if you participate in a giveaway, survey, promotion, or similar activity; and
- Any other information you voluntarily choose to provide.
However, you are not required to provide personal information simply to browse the Website.
Information Collected Automatically: When you visit the Website, the Website and the third-party services used to operate it may automatically collect certain technical and usage information. This information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, approximate geographic location, and information about how you interact with the Website. I use this information primarily to understand Website traffic, maintain and improve the Website, and help keep it secure.
How I Use Your Information
Information collected through the Website may be used to:
- Send newsletters, author updates, book news, announcements, and other communications you have requested;
- Respond to messages, questions, or inquiries;
- Administer giveaways, promotions, surveys, or similar activities;
- Understand how visitors find and use the Website;
- Maintain, improve, and secure the Website;
- Prevent spam, fraud, or misuse; and
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
I do not (and will never) sell or rent your personal information. It’s an icky practice (just like generative AI), and I refuse to sink that low.
Data Retention: I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
For example, I may retain newsletter subscriber information while you remain subscribed to my mailing list and for a reasonable period afterward, as needed for administrative, legal, or recordkeeping purposes.
Data Security: I use reasonable administrative and technical measures, together with the security measures provided by my Website and third-party service providers, to help protect personal information. It’s one of the many perks of having a computer engineer for a husband.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
Email Newsletter and Kit
If you subscribe to my newsletter, the information you provide, such as your name and email address, is processed through Kit (Previously ConvertKit), the email marketing platform I use to manage my mailing list and send email communications.
Kit may process information about newsletter subscribers and their interactions with emails, such as whether an email was opened or a link was clicked, in order to provide email delivery, analytics, and related services. By subscribing, you consent to receiving the emails described on the applicable signup form.
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of my emails. You may also contact me at callierosefowler@gmail.com if you have questions or need help with your subscription. Unsubscribing will stop future marketing emails, although certain information may be retained when reasonably necessary for legal, administrative, or recordkeeping purposes.
