We collect information on www.livewhatyoulove.com (the “Site”) in order to make it possible for you to access all the features on the Site and to enhance your overall experience on the Site. You can browse the Site without submitting any personally identifiable information, but we do collect some anonymous information when you access the Site.

We may use your contact data to send you information about LWYL, as well as information about Bob and Melinda Blanchard’s books, appearances and other news. You may always opt out of receiving future mailings – see the “Opt Out” section below.

In addition, we may employ outside agents, meaning other companies or individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as sending postal mail and e-mail, conducting sweepstakes and other promotional activities, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. These LWYL agents have access to personal information needed to perform their functions. Other than our outside agents and certain LWYL suppliers and vendors, we keep all of your personal information private and will not share it with any third party, unless you have authorized us to or we are legally required to do so. LWYL may also release personal information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of LWYL, our users, or others.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our customers who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of personal information that was shared and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to:
