Site information

Privacy notice

Effective September 3, 2026

What this site collects

If you join the launch list, the site stores the email address you provide, the publication, resource, or beta-reader interest category you selected, where the request was submitted, and the time you gave consent. The site does not ask for payment information and does not intentionally collect sensitive sighting details through the signup form.

How the information is used

Signup information is used to send publication-release notices, beta-reader invitations, and relevant reader-resource updates from F. S. Lyons. It is not sold. A future mailing provider may process the address only to deliver those messages; this notice will be updated before that service is activated.

Storage and retention

The website host stores launch-list records in its managed database. Records are kept until the address is removed or the list is retired. Basic hosting logs may also be processed for security and reliable operation.

Remove your email

Enter the same address you used to join. The site will remove every launch-list preference associated with that address. The response does not reveal whether the address was previously registered.

Changes to this notice

This notice will be revised when purchasing, mailing, analytics, or public contact services are added. The effective date at the top will change whenever the policy is materially updated.
