This page explains what we collect on hardcorepuzzler.com and what we do with it. Last updated 13 October 2026.
What we collect
When you claim the free bonus puzzles, you give us your email address and, if you choose, your first name. That is all. You can browse the rest of the site, including the free puzzles, without giving us anything.
Why we collect it
- To give you the bonus puzzle downloads you asked for.
- To send you occasional emails with puzzles and news about our books. You agreed to this when you ticked the box on the signup form.
Who handles it
Your details are stored in Hostinger Reach, the email service we use to send our emails. If Reach is briefly unavailable when you sign up, your details are saved in a private file on our web server and added to Reach by hand, after which that copy is deleted. We never sell or share your details with anyone else.
Unsubscribing and deleting your data
Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops all emails straight away. If you also want your details deleted, email support@hardcorepuzzler.com or reply to any of our emails.
Cookies and tracking
This site doesn't use tracking cookies or advertising trackers. Links to our books take you to Amazon.com, which has its own privacy policy.
Server logs
Like every website, our host keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security. The signup form also uses your IP address, briefly, to stop automated spam.
