Account Information - We collect your email address and name when you sign up and we store that information for identity and contact purposes. We store your password in an encrypted form.
API Information - We store any API keys you submit to us in an encrypted form. We obtain and store some basic information about your newsletters from third party newsletter mailing services using those API keys, such as the ID of your newletter lists.

Once an account is terminated, all data on our servers created by you is deleted, you are removed from the Book Boast Author mailing list, and any existing paid subscription is terminated.
