Privacy notice for the TheNovelsmith waitlist.

Who is responsible for your data?

A Media is responsible for the personal data collected through the TheNovelsmith waitlist.

For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@thenovelsmith.com.

What information do we collect?

When you join the waitlist, we collect:

• your email address;
• the date and time you joined;
• the version of the consent text and privacy notice you accepted;
• limited campaign information, such as how you found the waitlist; and
• limited technical information needed to keep the form secure and prevent abuse.

We do not ask for your name, postal address, payment details, manuscript, or TheNovelsmith account information through this waitlist.

Why do we use this information?

We use your email address and consent record to maintain the launch waitlist and notify you when TheNovelsmith launches. We use limited campaign information to understand how people find the waitlist. We use technical information to keep the form secure and prevent abuse.

The legal basis for the launch notification is your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Security and abuse prevention are based on our legitimate interest in operating a safe and reliable website.

Who do we share it with?

We use carefully selected service providers to host the waitlist, store the list, send the launch notification, and protect the form from automated abuse. They receive only the information needed to provide those services.

We do not sell your personal data or share it for someone else’s advertising.

International data transfers

Some service providers may process information outside Norway or the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we use the safeguards required by applicable data-protection law. Contact us if you would like more information.

How long do we keep your information?

Your active waitlist entry is kept until you unsubscribe, ask us to delete it, or the waitlist is no longer needed. If you unsubscribe, we may retain the minimum information required to honour that choice and prevent further marketing messages. Security logs are retained only for as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask us to:

• give you access to your personal data;
• correct inaccurate information;
• delete your information;
• restrict or object to certain processing; or
• provide information in a portable format.

You can withdraw your waitlist consent at any time. Every eligible message will include an unsubscribe link. Before receiving a message, you can contact privacy@thenovelsmith.com or use the privacy request page.

If you have a question or concern about how we handle your information, contact us at privacy@thenovelsmith.com.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice when the waitlist or its service providers change. The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated date.
