Giveaway Policy:

Typically, there are two types of giveaways posted on the blog: those that are self-hosted and those that are hosted by a third party.

Giveaways hosted by Read Your Writes Book Reviews:
I will never disclose your information to third person parties, unless the prize is being sent directly from the author or publisher. If it is, I will ask for your information and will forward it to the author or publisher. If the prize is coming directly from me, your information stays with me. You must be 18 or over to enter all of the giveaways. If the giveaway involves a physical copy of a book or swag, then I will ask for your mailing address. If the giveaway is for an e-Book or a gift card, then I will only ask you to confirm the email address the prize is to be sent to.

Our correspondence email contacting your information will be retained by me until you inform me you have received your prize or three months have passed, whichever comes first. After which time, our correspondence email will be deleted.

Please keep in mind that neither Read Your Writes Book Reviews, authors or publishers are responsible for lost or stolen packages. It is up to you to make sure the correct information is provided.

Giveaways posted on Read Your Writes Book Reviews, but hosted by a third party:
I in no way have control over third party giveaways. These are generally giveaways which are part of Blog Tours. I do not set up the giveaway, nor do I pick the winner. You must follow the guidelines set up by the third party.
