Privacy notice

Information you choose to share

Author inquiries collect contact details, country, book information, manuscript stage, synopsis, publication status, goals, and your acknowledgement. Optional details may include a pen name, website, publication or manuscript link, and audience information. Partnership and contact forms collect the details shown on those forms. Please avoid sensitive identity documents, payment information, or material you do not have authority to share.

How inquiries are used

Information is used to review the inquiry, communicate with you, consider a potential publishing or business relationship, and maintain related business records. Sending an inquiry does not subscribe you to a promotional mailing list. Any publishing agreement is a separate step.

How the website processes information

Inquiries are stored in a database on the website’s Cloudflare-based hosting infrastructure through Sites. Resend processes transactional emails, including notifications to brett@secondscreencollective.com and an inquiry receipt to the address you provide. Authorized operators can review submissions in a protected inbox.

The website records a submission reference, time, form type, originating page, acknowledgement, notification status, and limited campaign attribution when provided. Technical security controls process request information to reduce abuse and duplicate submissions. Hosting and email providers may process technical records needed to operate and secure their services.

Manuscripts and links

The initial inquiry does not require a full manuscript. Optional links are included in the inquiry for review and are not automatically fetched by the form. Do not submit passwords or access credentials. An inquiry does not establish a separate nondisclosure agreement; discuss any special confidentiality requirements before sending sensitive unpublished material.

Cookies and measurement

The public site does not use advertising trackers or enroll visitors in marketing campaigns. Necessary hosting, security, and administrative sign-in functions may process technical data. No personal inquiry content is intended for public pages, search listings, or advertising analytics.

Retention and requests

Inquiry information is held to handle the conversation and related business records. You can ask to access, correct, or delete information by emailing brett@secondscreencollective.com. We may need to verify the request and consider records that must be retained for an ongoing relationship or legal obligation. Please include your inquiry reference when available and avoid sending sensitive identity material unless requested through an appropriate process.

Access and service providers

Information is made available to authorized people handling the inquiry and service providers needed to operate the site and email workflow. Those providers may process information in countries other than your own. No online service can guarantee absolute security; if you believe an inquiry was sent in error or contains information that should be removed, contact us.

Changes and contact

This notice may be updated as the website or its processing changes. The date above identifies the current version. Privacy requests and questions about the organization handling your inquiry can be directed to brett@secondscreencollective.com.
