The short version

Your privacy matters to me.

If you sign up for book updates, apply to receive an advance reader copy (ARC), join a launch team, request a physical copy, or submit information through this website, I use that information only for purposes connected to my books, author platform, and the reason you provided it.

Depending on the form or service you use, I may collect information such as your name, email address, social media handle, reviewer profile, reading preferences, mailing address for physical book shipments, and other information you voluntarily submit.

I use third-party services to help operate my author platform and manage reader programs, including Framer, Google Forms, Google Sheets, BookSprout, and website analytics tools.

StoryOrigin may be used to manage or distribute advance copies to readers already participating in my ARC program. BookSprout may be used to help connect my books with additional ARC readers and reviewers.

I do not sell your personal information.

If you choose to receive information about future books, ARC opportunities, or releases in the Between Versions of Me series, I may contact you about later books, including Books 2 and 3. You may change that preference at any time.

You may also contact me with questions about information you have submitted or to request that it be corrected or deleted, subject to information I may need to retain for legitimate business, security, or legal purposes.

That’s the reader-friendly version. The full policy is below.

Author Privacy: Please do not share or publish nonpublic personal information about the author learned through private correspondence, shipping materials, or ARC participation.

Full Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Amanda Sahaida’s Artistry LLC (“I,” “me,” “my,” or “the business”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information obtained through the Between Versions of Me website, reader forms, ARC programs, launch-team activities, book-related communications, and related services.

By using this website or voluntarily submitting information through a form or reader service, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information I May Collect

I may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

• Name

• Email address

• Social media username or handle

• Amazon reviewer profile or other reviewer information

• Reading-device or format preferences

• ARC or launch-team application responses

• Review-related information

• Mailing address when needed to send a physical book or promotional materials

• Messages, questions, or other information you submit

• Communication preferences

Some forms or ARC services may ask for additional information relevant to determining eligibility for an ARC, launch team, giveaway, or similar reader program.

I may also receive basic technical or usage information automatically when you visit the website, such as browser type, device type, approximate geographic region, pages viewed, referring pages, and general website activity.

2. How I Use Your Information

Information may be used to:

• Process ARC or launch-team applications

• Communicate with readers participating in ARC or launch programs

• Deliver digital advance copies or other reader materials

• Mail physical books or promotional materials when applicable

• Send book updates or communications you requested

• Communicate about review timelines, book launches, or program participation

• Respond to questions or messages

• Improve the website and reader experience

• Understand general website traffic and engagement

• Maintain appropriate records related to author-business activities

• Prevent misuse, fraud, or unauthorized distribution of advance materials

• Manage relationships with ARC readers and reviewers

I do not use personal information for purposes unrelated to my author business without appropriate notice or consent.

3. Email and Reader Communications

If you provide your email address through Google Forms, BookSprout, or another reader program, I may use it to contact you about the specific ARC, launch team, book update, or reader activity for which you provided it.

These communications may include:

• ARC delivery information

• Review reminders or timelines

• Launch updates

• Questions about your application or participation

• Information about a physical ARC shipment

• Book-related updates you specifically requested

If you separately choose “Yes” when asked whether I may contact you about future books, ARC opportunities, and releases in the Between Versions of Me series, I may also use your email address to contact you about later titles, including Books 2 and 3.

Choosing “No” to future-book communication does not prevent me from contacting you about the current ARC, launch team, or reader activity you already requested or joined.

You may change your future-contact preference or ask to stop receiving non-essential communications at any time.

A request to stop general or promotional communication does not necessarily prevent me from sending a necessary administrative message related to something you specifically requested, such as delivery of an ARC or communication about an active reader program.

4. Google Forms and Google Sheets

I may use Google Forms to collect ARC applications, launch-team information, reader preferences, contact information, reviewer information, or other information voluntarily submitted by readers.

Responses submitted through Google Forms may be stored and managed in Google Sheets.

Information stored through these services may include:

• Name

• Email address

• Social media handle

• Reviewer profile information

• Reading preferences

• Application responses

• Mailing address for physical ARC recipients

• Notes related to ARC or launch-team participation

• Future-series contact preferences

Google processes information according to its own privacy practices and terms.

5. Advance Reader Copies and Launch Teams

If you apply to receive an ARC or participate in a launch team, I may collect information reasonably necessary to manage that program.

This may include your name, email address, social media handle, reviewer-profile information, preferred reading format, application responses, and, in the case of physical copies, your mailing address.

Information submitted for an ARC or launch team may be used to:

• Evaluate or manage participation

• Deliver the requested book

• Communicate program expectations or timelines

• Track whether an ARC was successfully delivered

• Maintain records relating to the program

• Follow up regarding voluntary reviews or reader feedback

Submitting an ARC application does not guarantee selection.

Any request for a review is a request for an honest review and is not a requirement that the review be positive.

6. Reader Feedback and Corrections

ARC and launch-team readers may voluntarily provide feedback, including reports of typographical errors, formatting issues, continuity concerns, factual inconsistencies within the manuscript, or other suggested corrections.

I sincerely appreciate readers who take the time to point out errors or areas that may need correction.

Feedback may be considered and incorporated into the manuscript, ARC files, or final published edition at my discretion.

Individual corrections, observations, or suggestions may be used without attribution or individual credit. Submission of feedback does not create an editorial, employment, co-authorship, ownership, or other professional relationship.

Participation in one ARC or launch team does not require participation in future books or reader programs.

7. BookSprout

I may use BookSprout to help make my books available to additional ARC readers and reviewers.

Readers who discover or request an ARC through BookSprout may provide information directly to BookSprout, and BookSprout may provide me with information necessary to manage ARC participation, reader requests, book delivery, or review activity.

Information handled through BookSprout is also subject to BookSprout’s own privacy policy and terms.

8. Physical Mailing Addresses

If you provide a mailing address for a physical ARC, giveaway, launch-team package, or other shipment, I will use it for fulfillment and related communication.

Your address may necessarily be shared with postal carriers, shipping providers, printing services, fulfillment providers, or other services involved in delivering the requested item.

I do not sell mailing-address information.

9. Third-Party Services

I use third-party providers to operate portions of my author platform. These may include:

• Framer for website hosting and functionality

• Google Forms for collecting reader and ARC information

• Google Sheets for storing and managing submitted form responses

• BookSprout for helping connect books with additional ARC readers and reviewers

• Google Analytics or similar analytics services for understanding website traffic and usage

• Book retailers, distributors, printers, postal carriers, shipping services, or fulfillment providers when necessary to fulfill reader requests

These companies may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

I am not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party websites or services that you visit or use.

10. Cookies and Analytics

This website or services embedded within it may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality and understand how visitors use the site.

Analytics tools may collect information such as:

• Page views

• Device type

• Browser information

• Traffic sources

• Approximate geographic information

• General interaction data

Where required, visitors may be given choices regarding certain cookies or tracking technologies.

11. Sharing of Personal Information

I do not sell personal information.

I may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to:

• Operate the website

• Manage ARC or launch-team programs

• Deliver digital or physical books

• Fulfill reader requests

• Communicate with readers

• Analyze website performance

• Maintain business records

• Protect the security of my website, business, books, or reader programs

Information may also be disclosed if reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to a lawful request, protect legal rights, investigate misuse, or protect the security of readers or the business.

12. Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, or to satisfy applicable legal, administrative, security, or recordkeeping requirements.

Different types of information may be retained for different lengths of time.

For example, a mailing address provided solely for a physical ARC may not need to be retained for the same length of time as general ARC participation records or a reader’s future-series contact preference.

13. Your Choices and Requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal information you have provided.

These may include the ability to request:

• Access to information you submitted

• Correction of inaccurate information

• Deletion of certain information

• An end to non-essential communications

• A change to your future-book contact preference

You may contact me regarding information you have submitted through this website or related reader programs.

Some information may need to be retained when required for legitimate business, security, recordkeeping, or legal purposes.

14. Children’s Privacy

This website and my ARC and reader programs are not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If I learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, I will take reasonable steps to remove it.

15. External Links

This website may contain links to retailers, social-media platforms, review platforms, music services, BookSprout, Amazon, or other third-party websites.

Once you leave this website, your activity is governed by the privacy practices of the website or service you visit.

16. Author Privacy

Participation in an ARC, launch team, reader program, or private correspondence does not grant permission to share nonpublic personal information about the author.

Please do not publish, forward, distribute, or otherwise disclose private information learned through direct messages, email correspondence, shipping materials, ARC communications, or participation in a reader program. This may include private contact information, mailing addresses, phone numbers, or other information that has not been intentionally made public by the author.

Publicly available information may, of course, be discussed normally.

17. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect information submitted through my website and the services I use.

However, no website, email system, cloud service, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

18. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy as my website, reader programs, services, or author business evolve.

When material changes are made, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
