Reader privacy

When you sign in and request a book, this website saves your account identifier, name, email address, the book you requested, your request status and the dates of changes. Gordon uses these details to decide who may download each book.

Gordon can approve, decline or withdraw access. Requests are retained so that approvals work when you return. Ask Gordon directly if you would like your request records removed.

The website is hosted using OpenAI Sites. Clerk handles reader email sign-in. OpenAI handles author sign-in. These sign-in and hosting providers also process information needed to run and protect the service under their own terms. This site does not use advertising trackers or send marketing emails.

Resend sends Gordon an email when you request a book and sends you an email when he approves you. These messages include your name, email address and book title. The website keeps a record of notification attempts to avoid duplicate emails and help resolve delivery problems. These are service messages, not marketing.

Reading copies are for your personal use. Please ask Gordon before passing a copy to someone else.
