Privacy Policy
Who we are
Royalty Pilots respects the privacy of authors and website visitors. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit royaltypilots.com, contact us, or ask about our Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) consulting services.
Who Is Responsible For Your Information
This website is operated by Royalty Pilots LLC, trading as Royalty Pilots, based in Antioch, California .
For privacy questions or requests, email cs@royaltypilots.com.
Information We Collect
When you use our inquiry form, we collect your name, email address, publishing stage, message, and confirmation that we may respond. You may also provide an optional book title or book link. If you contact us directly, we receive the information you choose to share and our correspondence with you.
Please do not submit passwords, verification codes, bank details, tax information, or sensitive personal information through the inquiry form. An initial inquiry does not require a complete manuscript.
Our website hosting and security services may process technical information, such as your IP address, browser information, requested pages, and access times, to operate the website and investigate errors or abuse. The inquiry form also uses a temporary, protected identifier derived from your IP address to limit repeated submissions.
Cookies
The custom website theme does not itself add advertising pixels or analytics tracking. WordPress and installed services may use cookies or similar technologies for functionality and security.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.
How We Use Your Information
We use information to:
- Respond to your questions and discuss your publishing needs.
- Prepare proposals and provide services you request.
- Communicate about an agreed project and maintain relevant correspondence.
- Operate, maintain, and protect the website, including preventing spam.
- Meet applicable legal obligations and address disputes.
Submitting an inquiry gives us permission to respond about that inquiry; it is not a subscription to marketing emails.
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis, we rely on taking steps at your request before entering a contract or performing our agreement, our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and securing the website where these do not override your rights, and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it by contacting us; withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful beforehand.
Who Receives Your Information
Information may be accessed by team members who need it to handle your inquiry or agreed services, and by providers supporting our website hosting, email delivery, and business communications.
If you engage us to help with a publishing transition or another service, we may share relevant information with a publisher, distributor, Amazon, or another party when necessary to carry out your authorized instructions. An inquiry alone does not authorize us to contact your publisher or change your publishing arrangements.
We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or when necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.
To make a request, email cs@royaltypilots.com. We may need proportionate information to verify your identity before acting on a request. You may also have the right to complain to the relevant data protection authority in your location.
Links To Other Websites
Our website may link to Amazon KDP, Amazon’s Partner Directory, or other websites. Those websites handle information under their own privacy policies. Following a link does not automatically send your inquiry form submission to Amazon.
Changes To Policy
We may update this policy when our services, website tools, or legal obligations change. The effective date will show when the current version takes effect. Where required, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
