3. Sensitive Information
Please do not submit private medical, mental health, counseling, therapy, crisis, financial, legal, or other highly sensitive personal information through this website, ordinary website forms, social media messages, or general publishing email.
Lumenprint Editions LLC is a publishing company. Its website is intended for book, author, publishing, educational, creative, permissions, media, event, school visit, bookstore, and related business communication.
Some books, articles, resources, or website content may discuss grief, emotions, family experiences, creativity, art, or other meaningful life topics. Those topics may be personally significant, but this website is not a secure clinical communication system.
If you choose to send sensitive information anyway, you understand that ordinary email and website communications may not be secure and may not be appropriate for confidential or emergency matters.
4. No Therapeutic Relationship or Professional Care
Lumenprint Editions LLC does not provide counseling, psychotherapy, medical treatment, crisis services, diagnosis, assessment, or individualized clinical advice through this website.
Reading books, visiting this website, downloading resources, signing up for emails, attending an author event, or contacting Lumenprint Editions LLC does not create a therapist-client relationship, counselor-client relationship, doctor-patient relationship, supervisory relationship, or other professional care relationship with Claire Whiteman or any related professional practice.
Content from Lumenprint Editions LLC is provided for general educational, creative, literary, and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional mental health care, medical care, legal advice, or individualized professional support.
If you or someone else is experiencing a mental health emergency, safety concern, or crisis, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact a crisis resource such as 988 in the United States.
5. Children’s Privacy
Our books and creative materials may be intended for children, families, parents, caregivers, educators, librarians, therapists, or other adults who support children. However, this website is intended for use by adults.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent.
Children under 13 should not submit forms, send personal information, sign up for newsletters, enter contests, make purchases, or contact us through this website without permission and involvement from a parent or guardian.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
Parents or guardians may contact us at info@lumenprinteditions.com with questions or concerns about children’s information.
COPPA applies to online collection of personal information from children under 13, and the FTC treats certain persistent identifiers, such as cookies or IP addresses used to recognize users over time, as personal information in that context.

Even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send non-marketing messages related to purchases, orders, permissions, events, customer service, legal notices, or other transactional matters.
The FTC’s CAN-SPAM guidance requires commercial emails to avoid deceptive header information and subject lines, identify messages as ads when applicable, include a valid physical postal address, and provide a clear way to opt out of future marketing emails.

If children are shown in photos, videos, classroom materials, event materials, or testimonials, we may require parent, guardian, school, or organizational permission before using or sharing those materials.
Submitting content does not guarantee that we will use, publish, respond to, or preserve it.

18. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, online platform, payment system, or method of transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Please do not send sensitive personal, clinical, financial, medical, legal, or confidential information through ordinary website forms, regular email, or social media.
The FTC recommends that businesses protect personal information by understanding what they collect, limiting access, securing stored information, and properly disposing of information that is no longer needed.
19. Data Breach Notification
If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond.
When required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals, regulators, service providers, or other parties.
Ohio law generally requires notification to affected Ohio residents when certain computerized personal information is accessed and acquired by an unauthorized person and the breach causes or is reasonably believed to cause a material risk of identity theft or other fraud. The Ohio Attorney General’s consumer guidance states that notification must be made as quickly as possible and not later than 45 days after discovery when the law applies.
20. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Completing transactions
Providing customer service
Maintaining order records
Managing permissions and intellectual property rights
Complying with tax, accounting, legal, and business obligations
Resolving disputes
Maintaining security records
Honoring unsubscribe or opt-out requests
Managing events, school visits, bookstore inquiries, or collaborations

We may delete, de-identify, or anonymize information when it is no longer needed.
