Privacy Policy

What we collect

• A note or correction on a page (voluntary): the note and the page it was sent from, and, if you choose, your name and email so we can reply. Notes go only to the site editor and are not published.
• Book sign-up: your email and name (optional), to tell you when the book can be pre-ordered and when it is out. It does not subscribe you to the newsletter.
• Newsletter sign-up: your email, name (optional), language and chosen topics. Providing them is voluntary; without an email we cannot send the newsletter.
• Visit statistics: the page, country and approximate city (from Cloudflare), device type and browser, and the referring site (e.g. Google). We do not store IP addresses or any visitor identifier.
• Infrastructure provider: Cloudflare, which serves the Site, processes IP addresses and request data for security, delivery and choosing the language by country.

How we use it

• Sending the newsletter on the topics you chose.
• Measuring use of the Site in aggregate and improving it.

We never sell data or pass it to advertisers.

Legal basis (GDPR)

Your consent for the newsletter, and our legitimate interest in running and improving the Site.

Service providers

• Cloudflare – infrastructure and security.
• Telegram – notifying the Site owner of new sign-ups (including email and topics).
• An email service – if and when one is used to send the newsletter, subscriber details will be shared with it for sending only.

Some providers operate outside your country, including in the United States.

Retention and unsubscribing

Subscriber details are kept while you are subscribed. Every email will include an unsubscribe link, and you can also contact us to have your details deleted. After you unsubscribe we keep only the fact that you asked not to be emailed, to respect your request.

Your rights

You may ask to access, correct or delete your data or object to its use; under the GDPR you may also request restriction or portability and complain to your data protection authority: [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.

Cookies and browser storage

• The Site does not use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies and loads no third-party services (fonts are served from our own server).
• Your browser stores only your language choice (if you picked one) and a temporary marker, cleared when you close the browser, so the same visit isn't counted twice.
• Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies.
• Since there are no non-essential cookies, there is no cookie banner.

Security

The Site is served over HTTPS; data is stored on a secured server with access limited to the Site owner.

Children

Newsletter sign-up is for people aged 16 and over.

Changes

Updates to this policy will be posted here with a date.
