Mailing List and Reader Access Data

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This section explains how we handle the information you may provide when accessing bonus content on this site.

What We Collect

When you enter a word from your physical copy of a Catherine Lynwood book to unlock extras, we store a small amount of session data to determine what content you can access. This includes:

• Your access level (based on the edition of the book)
• The book(s) you are entitled to access

When you choose to join our mailing list, we may also collect the following:

• Your email address (optional)
• Your selected communication preferences:
  • Updates about The Alpha Flame trilogy
  • Access to bonus material and digital extras
  • News about future books by Catherine Lynwood

A single cookie (MailingListPrompted=true) is set to ensure we only ask once.

How We Use Your Information

• To give you access to content appropriate for your book and edition
• To email you with the types of updates you selected, and nothing else
• To avoid re-prompting you unnecessarily for mailing list opt-in

We do not use your data for advertising, do not sell your data, and do not share your email address with third parties.

Your Rights

• You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link provided in each message.
• You can request to view or delete the information we hold about you by contacting us directly.
• We retain minimal data only as necessary to manage access and communications.
