Depending on the purpose, we may process your personal data on one or more of the following lawful bases:

4. Third-party services

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

We may share limited personal data with trusted third-party service providers when this is necessary to provide our books, eBooks, audiobooks, newsletters, downloads, campaign rewards, customer support, payment processing, website hosting, analytics, or other requested services.

These providers may include services such as:

• BookFunnel, for eBook and audiobook delivery;
• Kickstarter or similar campaign platforms, for campaign pledges and rewards;
• email marketing platforms, for newsletter delivery;
• payment processors, for payments and transactions;
• book retailers and distribution platforms, such as Amazon, Audible, ACX, KDP, Kobo, or similar services;
• print-on-demand, shipping, and fulfillment partners, such as BookVault, Printful, Gelato, or similar services;
• website hosting, analytics, and technical service providers.

These service providers may process only the information needed to provide the relevant service. When you use an external platform, such as BookFunnel, Kickstarter, Amazon, Audible, Kobo, or another third-party service, your use of that platform may also be governed by that platform’s own privacy policy and terms.

5. International transfers

Because we work with international service providers, your personal data may be processed outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. When this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
