6. Third-Party Sellers, Websites, Platforms, and Services

Our books, publications, products, or other offerings may be sold, distributed, displayed, promoted, hosted, transmitted, downloaded, streamed, or otherwise made available through third parties.

The website may also contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, retailers, booksellers, payment services, or other external resources.

Our products, publications, content, programs, or services may now or in the future be offered in physical, electronic, downloadable, streamed, transmitted, broadcast, recorded, interactive, or other formats.

No method of electronic transmission, storage, or security can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Technologies, service providers, storage methods, security practices, and methods of access or retrieval may be updated, replaced, relocated, or changed over time as technology, business needs, services, and legal requirements evolve.

Such changes may be made without requiring an amendment to this Privacy Policy when the underlying privacy practices described here remain materially consistent.

You may request that personal information associated with you be deleted by contacting us through the privacy contact method identified in this Privacy Policy.

We will review and respond to deletion requests in accordance with applicable law and may take reasonable steps to verify your identity or the authority of a person acting on your behalf before processing the request.

When a valid deletion request applies, we will take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, anonymize, or otherwise appropriately remove the personal information from systems under our control and, where required by applicable law, instruct applicable service providers to take corresponding action.

A deletion request may not require removal of information that we are permitted or required to retain, including information reasonably necessary to:

  • preserve records required by contract or law; or
  • fulfill another purpose for which retention is permitted under applicable law.

Where only part of a record must be retained, we may remove or restrict personal information that is no longer reasonably necessary while retaining the information we are legally or legitimately required to maintain.

When information is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, de-identified, anonymized, securely destroyed, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending upon where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information concerning certain uses or disclosures of personal information.

You may also have rights concerning certain forms of data processing, targeted advertising, profiling, sharing, or sale where those concepts are defined by applicable law.

We will honor privacy rights required by laws applicable to us.

11. Children’s Privacy

For how we manage the information of Children and Young People Under 18

Although DebbiBlessings.com and Blessings Press may offer books, stories, educational materials, illustrations, or other content created for children, teenagers, families, educators, and caregivers, our websites, ecommerce functions, mailing lists, submissions, accounts, and direct business communications are intended for adults.

As a matter of our own privacy and safety practices, we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information online directly from anyone under 18 years of age.

Products intended for children or young people are offered for purchase by parents, guardians, educators, caregivers, organizations, or other adults.

If we learn that we have directly collected personal information from a person under 18 without appropriate involvement or authorization from a parent or legal guardian, we may delete, restrict, or otherwise appropriately address that information.

A parent or legal guardian who believes that a person under 18 has provided personal information directly to us may contact us using the information provided in this Privacy Policy.

Nothing in this section is intended to redefine the age of a child under any applicable law. Where applicable law provides additional or different protections for minors, children, or young people, we will comply with those requirements.

12. Information Submitted in Stories, Messages, or Creative Materials

Please exercise care when voluntarily sending personal stories, photographs, manuscripts, testimonials, family information, or other creative or personal material.

Submission of information through a contact form, email, or other communication does not make that information public unless you separately authorize its publication or disclosure.

Specific terms may apply to submissions, manuscripts, contests, collaborative projects, testimonials, photographs, or other materials when offered.

13. International Visitors

The website may be accessible from locations outside the United States.

Information may be processed or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions in which our service providers operate.

Privacy rights and requirements vary by jurisdiction. Where applicable law imposes additional requirements on our processing of personal information, we will endeavor to comply with those requirements.

Additional Rights for Individuals in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Other Applicable Jurisdictions

Depending upon where you reside and the laws applicable to our processing of your personal information, you may have additional privacy and data-protection rights.

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), United Kingdom data-protection law, or another comparable privacy law applies to our activities, we will process personal information on an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending upon the circumstances, those bases may include:

  • your consent;
  • performance of or steps related to a contract with you;
  • compliance with a legal obligation;
  • protection of vital interests;
  • our legitimate interests or those of another party, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests; or
  • another lawful basis recognized by applicable law.

Where applicable, you may have the right to:

  • request access to personal information concerning you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion of personal information in circumstances provided by law;
  • request restriction of certain processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • receive certain personal information in a portable format;
  • withdraw consent when processing is based upon consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal;
  • object to certain direct-marketing activities;
  • obtain information concerning certain automated decision-making, where applicable; and
  • lodge a complaint with an appropriate data-protection or supervisory authority.

These rights are subject to the limitations, exceptions, verification requirements, and other conditions provided by applicable law.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If the GDPR applies to our processing of your personal information, you may have additional rights and protections under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, including rights relating to access, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection, and certain uses of personal information. The official text of the GDPR is available through the European Union’s EUR-Lex legal database.

International Processing and Transfers

Because we are based in the United States and may use service providers operating in multiple jurisdictions, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in a country other than the country in which it was originally collected.

Where applicable law requires specific protections for an international transfer of personal information, we will use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or other legally recognized safeguard.

Privacy Contact

Questions or requests concerning privacy or data-protection rights may be submitted through the Contact Us page of this site.

We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity or authority of a person making a request before acting upon it.

Unless and until applicable law requires the appointment of a Data Protection Officer, privacy inquiries should be directed to the Privacy Contact identified above.

If a Data Protection Officer or other legally required representative is appointed in the future, appropriate contact information will be provided in this Privacy Policy.

14. Business Changes and Successors

If DebbiBlessings.com, an affiliated business, its assets, publications, websites, or operations are reorganized, transferred, acquired, sold, merged, or succeeded by another entity, information associated with the applicable operation may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business, technology, products, services, vendors, legal obligations, or privacy practices.

The effective date at the top of this policy will indicate when the policy was last materially updated.

Changes in vendors, technologies, storage systems, distribution channels, or operational methods that do not materially change the privacy practices described in this policy may not require a separate amendment.
