This Privacy Policy sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines the obligations and requirements of the users, the website and website owners. This website is owned and operated by White Fire Publishing.

This website complies to US national laws and where appropriate, GDPR requirements for user privacy.

Use of Cookies
This website uses basic cookies to improve the users experience while visiting the website. Additional cookies may be used under the privacy provision of other sites like PayPal, Amazon, or social sites, for example, if accessed through links on our site. (This is not a fully inclusive list). Each external privacy policy is available on their respective sites. Please see below for additional information on cookies. In most instances, you can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. This may potentially alter your useful experience while on our website.

Contact & Communication
Users contacting this website do so at their own discretion and provide any such personal details requested of their own choice. We keep any personally identifiable information private (i.e. name, email address, and/or postal address provided to us by you) and store it securely until a time it is no longer required or has no use.

We make every effort to ensure a safe and secure form to contact us through our email submission process.

Email Newsletter
White Fire Publishing may operate an email newsletter program used to inform subscribers about programs, messages, products and services. Users can subscribe through an online automated process should they wish to do so, while doing so at their own discretion. In rare instances, we may manually process an opt-in request through prior written agreement with the user.

We use an opt-in email service allowing the user to provide direct consent through this process during sign-up. Each email we send also provides an instantaneous and easy unsubscribe link as part of the footer in the email.

Email campaigns published by White Fire Publishing contain some basic tracking facilities within the actual email. The processing of any information is via our external email service provider and may include non-personally identifiable subscriber activity for future analysis and evaluation. Such tracked activity may include the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, clicking of links within the email content, times, dates and frequency of activity, for example. The information helps refine future email campaigns and supply the user with more relevant content based around their activity. We do not sell or pass any subscriber details to any third parties.

External Links
Although this website only looks to include quality, safe and relevant external links, we advise users to adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout this website. (Including external links that are clickable via text / banner / image links to other websites.)

We cannot guarantee or verify the contents or privacy policy of any externally linked website despite our best efforts. By clicking on any external links, the user does so of their own choice and is responsible for visiting any external links mentioned and their corresponding privacy policies. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

Donations and Payments
We do not internally process any credit card donations or payments and do not directly gather or receive any personal credit card information. We accept payments through a variety of well-established third party vendors to securely process and deliver your payment to us. The only potentially identifiable information we receive is your name and address contact information provided by the payment-processing sites and only if you give consent during the checkout process.

Social Media Platforms
Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that we may participate on, have their own specific governing terms and conditions, as well as privacy policies, held with each social media platform respectively.

We advise users of social media platforms to do so wisely and communicate / engage upon them with due care and caution regarding their own privacy and personal details. We will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage users wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact us through primary communication channels such as through our contact form.

In some instances, we may use social sharing buttons (e.g. via email newsletter) which help share web content directly to the social media platform in question. Before using such social sharing buttons, consider doing so at your discretion and note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account.

When you visit us through a social networking site or choose to join (or "like") one of our official pages on a social networking site, the social networking site may provide us with certain basic information about you, including but not limited to your "likes". Please see the privacy policy for the applicable social networking site to learn more about how these sites share your personal information.
