Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

The internet can be a crazy place. The last thing you should worry about is your privacy.
This website (MixedPlateCreative.com and its subdomains) takes your privacy seriously. The site is managed by its owner and is hosted on SeattleServer.com. I also utilize third-party services such as MailerLite, Amazon.com and Square for client interactions. I make every reasonable effort to to maintain the integrety of this site, but I make no explicit warranties or representations regarding your use of this website and its subdomains. This page contains the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for your perusal. Legal stuff can be boring, but please read through it anyway.
Terms of Use
The use of this website is for informational and educational purposes only. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mixed Plate Enterprises, LLC (referred to as "MPE") from any loss or conduct incurred as a result of use of this website and any related communciations. This includes technical issues such as download or payment processing issues, and information received based on ommissions or misleading information given to MPE.
My goal is to provide clients with the best copywriting and creative content services I can offer. However, you acknowledge that a business's success is individual and not guaranteed - your results will vary despite statements made on this website. I only offer content services through this website. If you need other services, such as design, legal, or technical services, please consult a professional in that field.
All intellectual property on this website and its subdomains, including text, images, designs, and files, are owned by MPE or by the properly attributed parties. You may not use or modify any materials on this website unless permission is explicitly granted. I worked hard to make this site, and the designers and photographers worked hard to provide the visual elements, please respect that work.
All communications made through this website (contact forms, comments, or direct email) become the property of MPE and subject to reprinting, republishing, and sharing per our privacy policy (below). Occasionally I may solicit content such as reviews or guest posts, in which case the content will be properly credited and used per agreement with the content provider.
For now, this website does not use affiliate links or offer advertising space. I intend to keep this website ad-free, but should that change, this page will be updated accordingly. However, the newsletters and updates I send may contain affiliate links, and third-party websites I use may have advertising and affiliate links of their own. You accept express liability for any and all consequences or benefits of clicking through third-party links.
Privacy Policy
Now that I've expressed my expectations of you for using this site, you should also know what to expect of me. I work hard to earn my clients' trust, and that should be the same for any visitor to my website and subdomains. I will never sell or rent or flat out give away your personal information to any third-party service for marketing purposes without your express consent. However, I do use third-party services to give you the best experience possible and it may be necessary to provide a user's information to conduct business.
When you visit this site, your IP address used to access the site will be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is for analytical purposes only, these recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.The hosting server tracks these metrics using Awstats, but Google also tracks ip adresses for analytics purposes.
When you sign up for newsletters or giveaways, send a direct email, or make a purchase, identifiable information is required to complete the process. For emails, giveaways, and newsletters, your name and email address is required to complete that transaction. MailerLite and my hosting server manages the email lists per their privacy policies, but I do not share those lists with any third party. In certain instances I may do a "newsletter swap" where I trade affiliate links with other authors or service providers. In this instance, I do not share my list. Instead, if someone on my email list clicks an affiliate link, that is the only method a third party will receive any information about you.
Sites like Amazon.com, Smashwords, Apple Books, or other sites where my books are sold will additionally collect relevant information in order to complete a purchase. I also use Square for payment processing of my copywriting services and that site also will collect relevant information to complete purchases. Please refer to these sites' privacy policies for more information.
This website may use “cookies” to enhance visitor experience. Typically, cookies may be placed on visitors' hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Visitors may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to send an alert when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly.
When you leave a review or comment on MPE blogs or social media pages, that correspondence becomes public and may be reused or reprinted for marketing purposes. Any communication done through direct email, private messaging through social media apps, or by filling out the contact form may be reused or republished only after I have reached out for your permission to do so.
Any Questions?
MPE may update this privacy policy at any time. A notice about such changes will be posted on the main page.
