Alexander Isaac

Privacy notice

Last updated: 10 November 2026

This notice explains what happens to your details when you sign up for new-release emails at alexanderisaacbooks.com, or email me.

Who I am

Alexander Isaac is the pen name of a UK author. I am responsible for the personal information described here (in legal terms, its ‘controller’). You can contact me at hello@alexanderisaacbooks.com.

What I collect

  • Your email address.
  • The genres you ticked, and any book you asked to hear about.
  • A record of your consent: when and through which form you signed up and confirmed, and the IP address used. Kit, my email service, keeps this record.
  • Your approximate location (country and region), which Kit works out from your IP address.
  • Whether you open my emails and click their links, which Kit records automatically. I use this only to keep the list healthy, for example by removing addresses that no longer receive mail.
  • If you email me: your email address and what you write.

Why I use it, and the legal basis

  • To email you when a new book comes out in the genres you chose, or when the book you asked about is out. The legal basis is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link at the foot of every email, or by emailing me.
  • To reply when you write to me. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in answering readers.

I don’t send a regular newsletter. I don’t sell, rent or share your details, and I don’t use them for advertising.

Where your details are stored

  • Kit (Kit, Inc., in the USA) stores the mailing list and sends the emails for me. Kit processes data in the United States. Transfers from the UK are covered by the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Kit is certified, and by the UK International Data Transfer Agreement in Kit’s data processing agreement.
  • Porkbun (in the USA) provides my hello@alexanderisaacbooks.com inbox, so emails you send me are stored there.
  • GitHub Pages (GitHub, in the USA) hosts this website. Like most web hosts, GitHub may record visitors’ IP addresses for security. The site itself sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising. Its fonts are served from this site, not from a third party.

How long I keep it

  • Mailing list: until you unsubscribe. After that, Kit keeps your address on a ‘do not email’ list so you aren’t emailed again. If you’d rather it were deleted completely, tell me and I’ll delete it.
  • Emails you send me: as long as I need them to reply, then deleted.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can:

  • ask for a copy of the information I hold about you;
  • ask me to correct it;
  • ask me to delete it;
  • ask me to restrict how I use it, or object to my using it;
  • withdraw your consent at any time.

Email hello@alexanderisaacbooks.com and I’ll reply within one month. If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Age

The new-release list is for readers aged 16 and over. If you are under 16, please don’t sign up.

Changes to this notice

If this notice changes, the date at the top will change too. If a change affects how I use your details, I’ll email subscribers before it takes effect.
