Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: The contact page opens a draft in your email app addressed to Jodi. The Site does not transmit or store that message; Jodi receives only the information you choose to send by email.
Automatically collected information: The public author pages do not currently use a general-purpose analytics service. The dedicated Then Came Joy campaign landing pages use the Meta Pixel as described below.
Third-party links: This Site contains links to Amazon, Substack, Blue Hat Pub & Print, Joy's World Books, and other third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
