Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 7, 2026
Last Updated: September 7, 2026

Harmon Publishing Group, LLC (“Harmon Publishing Group,” “HPG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit our website, submit an inquiry, communicate with us, engage our services, or otherwise interact with Harmon Publishing Group, and how we use and protect that information.

Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide directly to us, information generated through your use of our website, and limited information received from service providers that support our business.

Information You Provide

Depending on how you interact with us, you may provide:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Company or organization

  • Project information

  • Manuscripts, creative materials, reference files, or other uploaded content

  • Information submitted through inquiry or contact forms

  • Communications and correspondence with HPG

  • Information necessary to prepare proposals, agreements, invoices, or provide services

Please do not send sensitive financial credentials, passwords, banking information, or publishing-platform login information through general website forms unless we specifically provide a secure method for doing so.

Project and Client Information

When you engage Harmon Publishing Group, we may maintain information necessary to plan, manage, produce, and support your project.

This may include project specifications, manuscripts, design files, publishing information, schedules, approvals, correspondence, distribution details, and other materials related to the services you request.

Client-Owned Publishing Accounts

HPG’s publishing model is designed to keep the client in control of their underlying rights, revenue, accounts, brand, and platform.

Where publishing, distribution, website, retail, or other third-party accounts are established in the client’s name, those accounts remain client-owned.

Clients are generally responsible for entering and maintaining their own banking, tax, payment, and other sensitive financial information directly with the applicable platform or service provider.

HPG does not claim ownership of a client’s royalty-producing accounts or proceeds paid directly to the client through those accounts.

Payments and Invoicing

HPG may collect information necessary to prepare and administer proposals, contracts, invoices, and payments.

Payment transactions may be processed through third-party payment or financial-service providers. Those providers may collect payment-card, banking, billing, or other financial information directly from you according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

HPG generally does not receive or store complete payment-card or bank-account credentials when payment is processed through a third-party provider.

How We Use Your Information

  • Respond to inquiries and requests

  • Schedule discovery calls or consultations
