Effective Date: August 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how CLUEHUNT ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit this website or sign up to receive our free bonus content.

1. Who We Are

CLUEHUNT is an independent publishing brand created by author P. J. Larkspur. For any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can contact us at hello@cluehuntbooks.com.

2. Information We Collect

When you sign up to receive Case Zero or any other free bonus content, we collect your email address. That's it — we don't ask for your name, phone number, or any other personal details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your email address to: send you the free bonus content you requested; send occasional emails about new CLUEHUNT books, updates, or related offers; and understand general engagement with our emails, such as open and click rates. We will never sell, rent, or trade your email address to third parties.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, we process your email address based on your consent, given when you submit the sign-up form. You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing or contacting us directly. Every marketing email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and we honor opt-out requests promptly.

5. Email Delivery, Third-Party Services and International Transfers

We use Systeme.io, a third-party marketing and page-hosting platform, to manage our mailing list, host this website, and deliver emails. As a result, your data may be stored and processed on servers located outside your country of residence, including outside the EEA. Where this occurs, we rely on the safeguards Systeme.io has in place, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect your information. We recommend reviewing Systeme.io's own privacy policy for details on their data handling practices.

6. Data Retention

We keep your email address on file for as long as you remain subscribed to our list, or until you ask us to delete it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; withdraw consent at any time; object to or restrict certain processing; and request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@cluehuntbooks.com. If you are in the EU/EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, in Italy the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali. If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request its deletion.

8. Cookies

This website may use basic cookies necessary for the site and sign-up forms to function properly. We do not use cookies for invasive tracking or advertising beyond standard platform analytics provided by Systeme.io.

9. Children's Privacy

Our content is intended for adult readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
