Privacy Policy
How Nomadic Authors USA collects, uses, stores and protects personal data and manuscripts submitted through this website.
Who we are
Nomadic Authors USA operates this website and provides book publishing and author services. The registered company name, registration number and registered address are to be confirmed by the business and inserted here before launch.
What we collect
Information you give us directly through forms on this site: your name, email address, phone number where supplied, country, details about your book, and any manuscript or supporting files you upload. Information collected automatically: standard server log data, and analytics data where you have consented to analytics cookies.
Manuscripts and creative work
Manuscripts and files you submit are used solely to prepare the assessment or carry out the services you have requested. They are not shared outside that process, not sold or licensed to third parties, and not used to train machine learning systems. Copyright and all other rights in your work remain yours at all times. The specific retention period for submitted files is to be confirmed by the business and stated here.
Why we process your data
To respond to your enquiry, to prepare a manuscript review, to deliver services you have engaged us for, to administer an author account, to meet legal and accounting obligations, and — only with your separate consent — to send you marketing communications. Marketing consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting any service you have engaged us for.
Marketing communications and opt-out
If you subscribe to receive emails, calls, SMS messages, newsletters, or promotional updates, you may opt out at any time. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link or contact us directly to update your communication preferences. Operational and project-related communications may still be sent where necessary for service delivery.
Sharing
We share personal data only with service providers acting on our instructions — for example hosting, email delivery, payment processing and, where relevant to your project, editors, designers and printers engaged on your book — and where required by law. The full list of processors is to be confirmed and published here before launch.
International transfers
Nomadic Authors USA is based in the United States and works with authors internationally, so personal data may be transferred across borders. The safeguards applied to those transfers are to be confirmed with legal advisers and set out here.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your personal data, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Requests can be made through the contact page. The response timescales and verification process are to be confirmed here.
Data security
Nomadic Authors USA takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction. However, no digital transmission or storage system can be guaranteed as completely secure, and users should exercise reasonable caution when sharing information online.
In practice those measures include encryption in transit, access controls, and storage of uploaded files outside the public web root.
Retention
We keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above and to meet legal obligations. Specific retention periods for enquiries, manuscripts, project files and account records are to be confirmed and listed here.
Contact and complaints
Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page. If you are in a jurisdiction with a data protection regulator, you may also complain to that regulator.
