While secure encryption technology is used to protect sensitive information on-line, we also protect all user information that is stored offline.

If you have registered to receive e-mail communications from us and later change your mind, you may contact us to have your name and e-mail address removed from the distribution lists. Should you wish to remove your name and e-mail address, please send an e-mail requesting removal of this information to webmaster@Secret-Literary-Agent.com 3.
