• Substack — manages newsletter subscriptions. See their privacy policy at substack.com/privacy.
• GitHub Pages — hosts this Website. See GitHub's privacy policy at github.com.

4. Cookies

This Website uses the following cookies:

• Google Analytics cookies — used to collect anonymised information about how visitors use this website (pages visited, time on site, traffic sources). These are analytics cookies, not advertising cookies.
• Google reCAPTCHA cookies — set by Google's spam-prevention service on the contact form.

5. Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) and applicable international regulations, you have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information.
• Withdraw consent to receive newsletters at any time by unsubscribing via Substack.

6. Data Retention

Contact form and ARC signup submissions are sent to us via Web3Forms, which stores submissions for up to 3 years before automatic deletion, and delivers a copy directly to our email inbox. We may retain this information — including in a separate internal list for ARC signups, used to track and manage advance reader copy selections — for as long as reasonably necessary, which for ARC requests may be several months given selections are typically made closer to the book's publication date. You can request that your information be deleted at any time by contacting us via the Contact page. Newsletter subscriber data is held by Substack and governed by their retention policy.
