Who We Are
This website is operated by Maggie M Lily. Our website address is https://maggielilybooks.com.
Information We Collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. After approval, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your name and email address through a form powered by MailerLite. We use this information to send you updates about new books, promotions, and other news. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send. MailerLite’s privacy policy is available at mailerlite.com/privacy-policy.
Cookies
If you leave a comment you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year. When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies — this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen option cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
Embedded Content and External Links
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or links to other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited those websites directly, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interactions.
This website links to Payhip (payhip.com) for the purchase of digital products. When you click a purchase link you will be taken to Payhip’s website, which operates under its own privacy policy available at payhip.com/privacy. We do not collect or store your payment information. Any purchase data is handled entirely by Payhip.
Advertising and Tracking
This website uses the Meta Pixel, a tracking tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. The Meta Pixel collects data about your visit to this website — including pages viewed — and may connect that data to your Facebook or Instagram profile. This information is used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram.
You can opt out of Meta’s use of your data for advertising at your Facebook Ad Preferences settings or at aboutads.info.
Who We Share Your Data With
We share data with the following third-party services:
• MailerLite — email list management and newsletter delivery
• Meta Platforms — website visitor data shared via the Meta Pixel for advertising purposes
• Payhip — purchase transactions processed on their platform
• Gravatar (Automattic) — anonymized email hashes for comment profile pictures
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Email subscribers’ data is retained until you unsubscribe. For registered users, personal information is stored in your user profile and can be viewed, edited, or deleted at any time — except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, have left comments, or have subscribed to our email list, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data. To make either request, contact us through the website. This does not include data we are legally required to retain.
For visitors in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have additional rights under GDPR including the right to access, correct, or object to processing of your personal data.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor data may be sent to the following locations: MailerLite (email platform), Meta Platforms (advertising pixel), Payhip (purchase transactions), and Gravatar/Automattic (comment avatars). Some of these services may process data outside your country of residence. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
