  • Legal and safety recipients when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

  • A successor in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.


These providers act under their own terms and data processing agreements, and may use your data as described in their privacy policies.


4. International transfers

  • Contact messages: up to 24 months.

  • Analytics data: up to 14 months.

  • Records we must keep by law (such as tax records) are retained for the legally required period.


6. Your rights


Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data; to object to or restrict processing; to withdraw consent; and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.


To exercise your rights, or to be removed from our list, email privacy@thenoveltalk.com or use the unsubscribe link in any email. We respond within 30 days (45 days in some US states).

In the past 12 months we have collected identifiers (email, IP address), internet activity, and approximate location, and disclosed them to the categories of recipients in Section 3 for the purposes in Section 2.

The Site is not directed at anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact privacy@thenoveltalk.com and we will delete it.
