Why we value your privacy
We value your privacy as much as we do our own, so we’re committed to keeping your personal information safe. We’re uncomfortable with the information companies, governments, and other organizations keep on file, so we ask for only the bare minimum from you, our valued subscriber. We’ll never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it, and we’ll never give anyone access to it unless we’re forced to by law or Khan puts a Ceti eel in our ear.

How we collect information
We ask for contact information, including your first name and email address, on our website (this one that you're on right now) so that we can keep in touch via an e-newsletter. We collect your name and email address when you sign up for one of our newsletters. Occasionally, we might receive your contact information from one of our partners, most often as part of an ebook bundle or giveaway. If we do, we protect it in exactly the same way as if you give it to us directly. Our website doesn’t use cookies or scripts that were designed to track the websites you visit. We don’t use analytics or native social media ‘like’ or ‘sharing’ buttons which also build profiles of your internet activity. We don't care about your internet activity. We only care about if you like our books.

Where we store your information
When you contact us by email or through our website, we may store your your information in our Google email system (think Gmail with business-level security). If you sign up for a newsletter, we store your email address and first name (if you provide that) in Mailerlite, which is the marketing/newsletter platform we prefer. We chose these systems partly for their commitment to security.
