We collect only the information we need to respond to you and to run the Site.

•         Your name and email address

•         Your phone number, if you choose to provide it

•         Information about your work, such as a portfolio link, manuscript details, or artist statement

•         Any other information you include in your message

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site collects limited technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the referring website. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

•         Respond to your inquiries and review submissions

•         Communicate with you about representation, placement opportunities, or our services

•         Send updates you have asked to receive (you may unsubscribe at any time)

We do not use your information for any purpose that is incompatible with these uses without first asking for your consent.

We Do Not Sell or Share Your Information

The Prelude Agency LLC does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

We disclose information only in these limited cases:

•         Service providers. We use trusted vendors to host and operate the Site, such as our website platform (Squarespace) and email provider. They process information only on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

•         With your permission. For example, if you ask us to present your work to a publisher or gallery, we will share the materials needed to do so.

•         Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.

•         Business transfers. If The Prelude Agency LLC is involved in a merger or sale of its business, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

How We Protect Your Information

We use best efforts to protect your personal information through reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use best efforts to delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed.
