Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Malik A. Ahmed ("I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit malik-a-ahmed.com (the "Site").

1. Information I Collect

I collect two types of information:

Information you provide voluntarily: When you join my reader group, sign up for updates, or contact me directly, I may collect your name and email address. I only collect what you choose to share.

Information collected automatically: Like most websites, the Site may collect basic technical data such as browser type, device type, and pages visited. This data is anonymous and is used only to understand how the Site is being used.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use the information you provide to:

· Send you updates about new releases, previews, and reader opportunities (only if you have opted in)
· Respond to your messages or questions
· Improve the Site and understand what content is useful to readers

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

3. Email Communications

If you join my reader list, you will receive occasional emails about my books and related projects. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time, and your email will be removed from the list.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The Site may use basic cookies or analytics tools to understand visitor behavior. These tools do not identify you personally. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.

5. Third-Party Services

The Site may link to third-party platforms such as Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and the Internet Archive. Each of these platforms has its own privacy policy, and I am not responsible for how they handle your data. I encourage you to review their policies separately.

6. Data Security

I take reasonable precautions to protect any information you share. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the Site, please contact me so I can remove it.

8. Your Rights

You may request to access, correct, or delete any personal information I hold about you. To make a request, contact me at: author@malik-a-ahmed.com

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
