What this site collects

Privacy

This site sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, and loads no third-party embeds. It collects something in exactly five situations, and each one is set out below with what it is for, who processes it, how long it is kept, and how to have it removed.

Who is responsible

The controller for personal data collected through this site is Mattias Hjelmstedt. You can contact the controller at [hello@riftsequence.com](mailto:hello@riftsequence.com).

The five collection paths

1. 01

   Coalition email address

   Purpose

   To send the reader briefings you asked for: new findings, changes in evidence status, corrections, and occasional notes about the books.

   Processor

   Kit (ConvertKit), a United States processor. A data processing agreement is in place. Your confirmation is recorded there as evidence of consent.

   Retention

   Until you unsubscribe.

   Deletion

   Every email carries an unsubscribe link, which removes you immediately. You can also write to us and ask for the record to be deleted outright.

2. 02

   Seed reader form — email address, name or handle, where you found the programme, and which file format you want

   Purpose

   To send you the draft, to send you the eight-question feedback form, and to know which invitation routes reached readers.

   Processor

   Kit, tagged as a seed participant. Same processor and same agreement as above.

   Retention

   Deleted when the seed programme ends — unless you also ticked the optional Coalition box, in which case your address stays on that list and the seed answers do not.

   Deletion

   Write to us at any time and it goes before the programme ends.

3. 03

   Correction submissions — the page, your description, and an email address only if you give one

   Purpose

   To check the correction against the source and fix the page. A correction is credited in that entry’s developments log only if you tell us you want to be.

   Processor

   Handled by us. The submission is delivered to the author and nowhere else; nothing about it goes to an advertising or profiling service.

   Retention

   Held while the correction is being processed. The dated log entry that results describes the correction, not the person who sent it, unless you consented to credit.

   Deletion

   Write to us and the submission record goes; the corrected page stays corrected.

4. 04

   Form security — the check that runs when you submit a form

   Purpose

   To tell a reader apart from a script, so the forms on this site are not filled in by bots.

   Processor

   Cloudflare Turnstile. It runs on the two form pages only, never in the site shell, and it sets no cookie for advertising or tracking.

   Retention

   Cloudflare holds the verification data under its own retention terms; we hold none of it.

   Deletion

   There is nothing here for us to delete. The check produces a pass or a fail and we keep the answer only long enough to accept or refuse the submission.

5. 05

   Aggregate site statistics

   Purpose

   To see which pages are read and which routes into the record work — page counts, not people.

   Processor

   Plausible Analytics, in its cookieless configuration. No cookie, no cross-site profile, no personal data.

   Retention

   Aggregate counts only. Nothing is stored that identifies a visitor, so there is no record of you to keep.

   Deletion

   Nothing identifies you, so there is nothing to remove. Any browser setting that blocks analytics is respected — the site does not work around one.

   Not running yet. The site loads no measurement script at all until it is deployed publicly; this row describes what will be collected then, and nothing is being collected now.

The lawful basis for each

Services that process data

Kit processes Coalition subscriptions and email delivery. Cloudflare provides hosting, security, form protection, and related infrastructure. Plausible provides aggregate analytics. Current provider details and links to their privacy information are listed below.

Where a provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area, the transfer relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for providers certified under it, or on standard contractual clauses. Provider-specific details are available on request.

How long information is kept

Coalition subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion, subject to any short suppression record required to ensure that email is not sent again. Correction submissions and related correspondence are kept for up to twenty-four months because they form part of the site's accuracy and audit process. Security and operational logs are kept for the infrastructure provider's short retention windows, measured in days. Aggregate Plausible statistics do not identify individual readers.

Your rights

Depending on the processing involved, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise a right, contact [hello@riftsequence.com](mailto:hello@riftsequence.com). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection, IMY, at [imy.se](https://www.imy.se/).

What does not happen here

• No cookies are set, for any purpose.
• Nothing is written to your browser’s storage.
• No third-party embeds. No fonts, videos, players or scripts are loaded from anyone else — the one exception is the form security check above, and it runs on the form pages only.
• Nothing is sold, shared for advertising, or used to build a profile.
• Downloading the book asks for nothing. No account, no address, no gate.
