Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Niko Crane ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide when visiting nikocranebooks.com or subscribing to our newsletter, Letters from the Academy.

We take your privacy seriously. We collect only what we need, we don't sell your information, and you can opt out at any time.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it:

• Name — provided when you subscribe to our newsletter
• Email address — provided when you subscribe to our newsletter

We do not collect payment information, sensitive personal data, or any information through cookies beyond standard analytics (see below).

How We Use Your Information

The information you provide is used solely for the following purposes:

• Sending you Letters from the Academy — our newsletter covering release dates, cover reveals, and series updates
• Communicating with you about the Aegean Academy Series by Niko Crane
• Providing early access opportunities as books approach publication

We will never use your information to send unrelated promotions or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

Email Service Provider

Our newsletter is managed through AWeber, a third-party email marketing platform. When you subscribe, your name and email address are stored in AWeber's systems. AWeber processes this data in accordance with their own Privacy Policy, which you can review at aweber.com/privacy.htm.

AWeber may set cookies or use tracking technologies in emails (such as open and click tracking) to help us understand how our newsletters are performing. This is standard practice for email marketing.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use standard browser cookies or similar technologies for basic site functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If we use analytics tools to understand site traffic, that data is aggregated and anonymous — it is not linked to your name or email address.

Data Sharing and Selling

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party, ever. We share your data only with AWeber for the purpose of sending the newsletter you subscribed to, and only to the extent necessary for that purpose.

Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your subscription and data:

• Unsubscribe — every email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it at any time to be permanently removed from our list.
• Access or deletion — you may request a copy of your personal data or ask us to delete it by contacting us at the address below.
• Correction — if your information is incorrect, contact us and we will update it promptly.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, you may also have rights under GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Data Retention

We retain your email address and name for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. When you unsubscribe, your contact information is removed from our active mailing list. You may request complete deletion at any time by contacting us directly.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our site or subscription to our newsletter after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
