Privacy

What we collect. Your email address, your first name if you give it, the time you signed up, which link brought you here (for example YouTube or a podcast), and a hashed form of your IP address and browser type used only to stop abuse. If you confirm your address, we record that too.

Why. To send you the free first chapter, a few emails with stories from the book, and news about the GANJALAND crowdfunding campaign and the film project. That’s the whole list. We don’t sell, rent or share your details with anyone for their own purposes.

Where it lives. On Google Cloud (Firestore) in the United States, and emails are sent from a Google Workspace account at ganjalandmovie.com. Google acts as our processor. A copy of the list may be kept in a private Google Sheet for the author.

How long. If you sign up but never confirm, your details are deleted automatically after 7 days. If you unsubscribe, we keep only your email address and the date, so we never email you again by mistake. Otherwise we keep your details until the film project ends or you ask us to delete them.

Your choices. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. To see, correct or delete what we hold about you, email hello@ganjalandmovie.com. If you’re in the EU or UK you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Cookies and tracking. No advertising trackers. The site stores a small note in your browser about which link you arrived from so sign-ups are credited to the right place, and may use Google Analytics with anonymized IP addresses to count visits. Our sign-up forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, whose privacy policy and terms apply.

Who we are. GANJALAND is a Metallic Marine project (Florida, USA). The author, James J. Gerardi, is the data controller. Contact: hello@ganjalandmovie.com.
