3. Our Applications and Automation Tools

We operate one private automation tool referenced by name in this Site and in our developer registrations:

AI Novelist Auto-Poster. The AI Novelist Auto-Poster is a private, single-user automation application used by Murshed Abdullah Al Hussain (M. A. A. Hussain) to schedule and publish promotional content about the Shattered Crown trilogy and other published works to social media platforms including (but not limited to) Facebook Pages, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. The AI Novelist Auto-Poster runs locally on the author’s personal computer. It processes only the developer’s own social media account credentials and the developer’s own content. The AI Novelist Auto-Poster does NOT collect, store, transmit, or process personal information from Site visitors, third parties, or any user other than the developer. It does NOT provide any user-facing interface, account creation, login, comment system, or interaction with visitors to lifeslittlecorner.com. The AI Novelist Auto-Poster’s role is descriptive only on this Site; it is not offered as a service to the public.

4. Disclosure to Third Parties

We may share your information with the following categories of third parties:

  • Service providers: Companies that perform services on our behalf, including web hosting, email delivery, analytics, customer support, and payment processing. These providers are contractually obligated to use the information only as needed to perform their services.
  • Social media platforms: If you interact with embedded content (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), those platforms may receive information about your visit and may set their own cookies. Each platform’s privacy policy governs that data.
  • Book retailers: Books authored by M. A. A. Hussain are sold through Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers. Each retailer has its own privacy policy and we do not control their data practices.
  • Legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
  • Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have.
