Our Privacy Policy
Lauren Royal, Devon Royal, and their technical staff value your online privacy. We don't collect much information about you and don't share it more than we need to.
What we collect
The website's Contest, Guestbook, ARC Group, and CFRG Cookbook pages all collect personal data like your name, email address, and location. We use that data to run those sections of the site. For most of these sections, we retain that data indefinitely. The personal data submitted with a contest entry is purged after six months.
If you subscribe to the Lauren Royal Newsletter, your email address is shared with MailerLite, our mailing list provider. They only use it to send you our newsletters. If you unsubscribe, your address will still be on file with them, but we can permanently purge your address if you ask.

- We occasionally do promotions with other authors, and when we do, personal data collected through that promotion is usually shared with them. Joint promotions like this should always be obvious.
- When you interact with us on a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter, the platform's provider will usually collect data about it. Check the platform provider's privacy policy to understand what they do with that data and how to control it.
How to control your data
We don't have a system to automatically download or purge your data, but contact us and we'll do it manually. Make sure you use the same email address you originally gave to us. You can also contact us with any other questions, concerns, or complaints.
