Short version: we collect your email only to make you a founding reader, we send you the wallpaper pack and Issue #0, and we never sell your data. The details:
01What we collect
When you join the founding-readers list, we collect the email address you enter, the page you signed up from, and the signup time. After you join, we optionally ask how you’d like your name printed in the Volume One credits. That’s the only other thing we store, it’s entirely up to you, and leaving it blank keeps you anonymous. We don’t run advertising trackers. If we later move the list to an email provider to send releases, that provider may record standard delivery data (opens and clicks). This notice will be updated when that happens.
02How we use it
Your email is used to send you the wallpaper pack, to notify you when Issue #0 releases, and to share occasional Crisis Universe updates. That’s it. Every message includes a one-click unsubscribe.
03Who it’s shared with
The list is stored in Google Sheets (via Google Apps Script) under our own account, solely to manage signups and deliver what we promised. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information, and we don’t share it with advertisers.
04Your choices
You can unsubscribe at any time from any email, and you can ask us to delete your data entirely. See the contact below. Removing yourself from the list stops all messages, including the Issue #0 release notice.
05Contact
Questions, or a deletion request? Reach us at @criticalcomicsinc or reply to any email from the list. This notice may be updated as the site grows; the date above always reflects the current version.
