1. What we collect

• Email addresses you willingly provide when you join the newsletter or request ARCs.
• Anonymous analytics data—page views, truncated IP addresses, browser type—via Google Analytics, which sets first-party cookies to do its job.
• Aggregate demographic information supplied by Google Analytics.

2. How it’s used

• To send you newsletters, bonus scenes, or ARC invitations.
• To understand which pages resonate most and improve the site.

3. Third-party services

• EmailOctopus – stores and processes your email address for newsletter distribution only.
• Google Analytics – measures site traffic. IP-anonymisation is enabled and data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Google’s policy is here.

4. Opt-out

Every newsletter footer includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
To block analytics cookies entirely, install Google’s opt-out browser add-on or disable cookies in your browser settings.
Delete-me requests: email hello@clarkquatermain.com and we’ll purge your data within 72 hours.

5. Children

This site isn’t directed to anyone under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect such data.

6. Changes to this policy

If the policy changes, you’ll see the new date up top and—for major updates—receive an email alert.
