Legal
This policy explains how USA Books Publishing collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit our website or ask us about publishing services.
This website is operated by USA Books Publishing (“USA Books Publishing,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We provide professional publishing services for authors, including editorial, design, production, and distribution setup.
For privacy questions, we are the controller of personal information collected through this website. You can reach us at hello@usabookspublishing.com or +1 (888) 414-2601. Our operations are based in the United States.
This policy applies to personal information we collect when you:
It does not cover websites, retailers, or tools we do not control, such as Amazon, Ingram, or payment processors you may use after a contract is signed. Those services have their own privacy policies.
Depending on how you contact us, this may include:
We do not require Social Security numbers, payment-card numbers, or government IDs on this website. Payment, if any, is handled through a secure processor after you agree to a written scope of work.
We use personal information to:
We do not use your manuscript to train public AI models or to market other authors’ books without your permission.
If you are in a jurisdiction that requires a legal basis (including the EEA, UK, or Switzerland), we process information on one or more of these bases:
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only as needed with:
Anyone who handles a manuscript for us is expected to keep it confidential and not to use it for their own purposes.
We are based in the United States. If you contact us from another country, your information will be processed in the United States and may be processed in other countries where our vendors operate. Those countries may have different data-protection laws than your own.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, such as contractual clauses with vendors. You may contact us for more detail about the safeguards that apply to your information.
We keep inquiry records long enough to respond, avoid duplicate follow-ups, and meet legal or accounting duties. Typical periods:
When we no longer need information, we delete or de-identify it. Backup copies may persist for a limited time until they rotate out.
We use administrative, technical, and physical measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including HTTPS, restricted staff access, and secure payment handling by third-party processors when a project is billed.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please do not send passwords or payment-card numbers through the website forms. If you believe your information was compromised in connection with our services, email hello@usabookspublishing.com promptly.
This section is our cookie policy. Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our providers may use:
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may stop forms from working correctly. Analytics tools may set their own cookies; their policies apply to that processing.
We do not use cookies to build a marketing profile to sell to third parties.
This website is intended for adults who want to publish a book. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where that is the applicable age).
If you believe a child submitted information to us, contact hello@usabookspublishing.com and we will delete it. Publishing a children’s book is a service for the adult author or rights holder, not a service directed at the child reader.
Subject to local law, you may request to:
To exercise these rights, email hello@usabookspublishing.com with the subject line “Privacy request.” We may need to verify it is you before we act. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you additional rights to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.
In the past 12 months we have collected the categories described in this policy (identifiers such as name, email, and phone; commercial information about a requested publishing package; internet activity on this site; and geolocation at a coarse country level for the phone field). We collect this information from you and from your device.
We use it for the business purposes listed above. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. We do not sell personal information for money. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know are under 16.
Authorized agents may submit a request if they provide proof of authorization. We will not discriminate against you for exercising CCPA rights.
USA Books Publishing does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that practice changes, we will update this policy and provide a clear opt-out.
If you use a browser opt-out signal such as Global Privacy Control, we will honor it for this website to the extent required by law.
Our site may link to retailers, social networks, maps, or other resources. Those destinations are not covered by this policy. Review their privacy statements before you provide information there.
We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of the website after an update means you have read the revised policy. If a change requires consent, we will ask for it.
