Privacy and cookie notice
Last updated: October 5, 2026
This notice covers the The Protectors book website. Newsletter signup is available through Buttondown as described below. This website does not offer book purchases or checkout.
Information collected and why
When newsletter signup is available, you submit your email address and your choice to receive release news and book announcements for The Protectors: palimpsest of the soul. The form also sends a label identifying the version of the signup consent wording. Powered by Buttondown, who processes signup requests, sends confirmation emails, and manages delivery and unsubscribe preferences. It may process technical information, such as your IP address, for security and abuse prevention. New signup addresses are sent directly to Buttondown rather than saved in this website's database.
Cloudflare hosts this website and processes technical information such as your IP address, browser information, and requested URLs to deliver and protect it.
This website does not offer book purchases or checkout and does not collect payment or delivery details.
Cookies and browser storage
This landing page's own code does not set cookies or use browser storage. It does not run advertising pixels, marketing analytics, embedded checkout scripts, or externally hosted fonts.
Cloudflare may use security cookies and technical logs to prevent abuse or manage access, depending on the security and access-control features enabled. These services operate separately from this landing page's code. Read Cloudflare's cookie information for details about its security features. Buttondown has its own cookie and data practices when you use its services.
Providers and tracking
Buttondown receives your email address and consent label when you submit the newsletter form. Your browser makes a request to Buttondown when you use that form.
Read Cloudflare's privacy policy and Buttondown's privacy policy for provider details. These providers may process information in the US or other countries.
This landing page's code does not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. It performs no cross-site advertising tracking whether or not your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Newsletter tracking choices are managed separately by Buttondown.
Your choices and privacy requests
Joining the newsletter is optional and does not place an order or reserve a book. Confirm your subscription through Buttondown's email before receiving updates. Use the unsubscribe link in a newsletter to stop future marketing emails.
For information about privacy requests concerning data processed by the newsletter provider, review its privacy policy linked above. Your unsubscribe choice can be managed through Buttondown.
Retention and existing signup records
Newsletter details are kept while you subscribe. After unsubscribing, a limited suppression record may be retained to prevent unwanted email. Review Buttondown's privacy policy for its retention practices.
Addresses previously submitted to this website may remain in its private signup database until reviewed or deleted. They are not automatically transferred to Buttondown by this integration. Legacy records are managed separately from the Buttondown newsletter list.
Children's information
The book contains explicit sexual descriptions and is intended for mature readers. This website is not directed at children under 13. Please do not submit personal information about a child under 13 through the newsletter form. Review the relevant provider's privacy policy for reporting information submitted to that provider.
