Information We May Collect

Information you choose to provide

If you email Midnight Haven, we receive your email address and any name, message, or other information you choose to include. Please do not send sensitive personal information by email.

Newsletter information

Newsletter signup is handled through Flodesk. When you follow a newsletter link and subscribe, Flodesk processes the information you submit, such as your name, email address, subscription preferences, and signup information. Midnight Haven uses that information to send the updates you requested.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails. Flodesk’s own information practices are described in the Flodesk Privacy Policy.

Technical information

Like most websites, the web host, WordPress installation, and security services may automatically record limited technical information when the site is visited. This may include an IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages requested, and the date and time of a request. This information is generally used to deliver the site, maintain security, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical problems.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

• Respond to questions, event inquiries, and other messages.
• Send newsletters and updates a subscriber requested.
• Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
• Detect spam, fraud, abuse, or technical problems.
• Keep appropriate business records and comply with legal obligations.

Midnight Haven does not sell or rent personal information.

Service Providers and Disclosure

Information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website and newsletter, including website hosting, WordPress-related security or spam prevention, and Flodesk. These providers may process information only as permitted by their own terms, privacy policies, and the services they provide.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or respond to a valid legal request.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

WordPress and the website host may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site administration, security, and basic functionality. Administrative login cookies are used for authorized site managers and are not intended to create advertising profiles of ordinary visitors.

If third-party content is embedded in the future, that provider may set its own cookies or collect interaction data. Its privacy policy—not this one—will govern that provider’s activity.

External and Affiliate Links

This website links to author-direct shops, social media, Amazon, Bookshop.org, Libro.fm, newsletter pages, and other third-party websites. When you follow one of those links, you leave midnighthaven.co. The destination website may collect information, use cookies, or track a referral according to its own privacy policy.

Some links are affiliate links. If you make an eligible purchase after following one, Midnight Haven or T. L. Johnson may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not provide Midnight Haven with your complete payment-card information.

How Long Information Is Kept

Email correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Newsletter subscription information is retained while you remain subscribed and as otherwise required for suppression or compliance records after you unsubscribe.

Technical logs may be retained by the website host or security providers according to their own retention schedules.

Your Choices and Requests

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time through the link in each newsletter. You may also email maven@midnighthaven.co to ask about personal information Midnight Haven holds about you or to request correction or deletion.

Some information may be retained when reasonably necessary for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or recordkeeping. Midnight Haven may need to verify a requester’s identity before completing a privacy request.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. Midnight Haven does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, please email maven@midnighthaven.co so the concern can be reviewed.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. However, no website, email system, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when the website, newsletter tools, or information practices change. The “Last updated” date at the top will show when the policy was most recently revised.
