We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
Data Security
We seek to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.
However, no website, electronic transmission, storage system, or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Authors should retain their own copies and backups of manuscripts and other materials submitted to Blissful Living Publishing.
How Long We Keep Information
We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including evaluating submissions, maintaining publishing and business records, fulfilling contractual responsibilities, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, protecting legal rights, and satisfying applicable legal, accounting, tax, or regulatory requirements.
Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.
Where information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our business practices.
Manuscript Withdrawal & Deletion Requests
An author may request withdrawal of a submission that has not entered into a publishing agreement by contacting us.
A request to withdraw a manuscript from editorial consideration does not necessarily require immediate deletion of every record relating to the submission.
We may retain limited information where reasonably necessary for administrative records, security, legal compliance, dispute prevention, or other legitimate purposes, subject to applicable law.
Where applicable law provides a right to request deletion of personal information, we will process eligible requests in accordance with those requirements.
