What this site collects

• Nothing through forms. There are none.
• No cookies, analytics or tracking. The site loads no scripts, fonts or images from other companies.
• One setting in your own browser. If you pause the animation, your browser remembers that choice locally. It never leaves your device and we cannot see it.
• The "Your next move" checklist. Your answers are scored in your browser and are not sent anywhere.
• Server logs. Like any website, the hosting service records technical details of each request, such as IP address, time and page. This site is hosted by Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.). Cloudflare processes technical request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the site, under its own privacy policy. No analytics are switched on.

If you email Maria

We receive your name, email address and whatever you choose to write. We use it to reply, to scope and quote a briefing if you ask for one, and to keep a record of what was agreed. We do not add you to any mailing list, and we do not sell or share your personal information.

We keep inquiry emails for up to 24 months after our last exchange, then delete them, unless we need them longer for a contract, tax or legal reason.

Email reaches us through Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards messages to Maria's own mailbox. Our service providers may process it in the United States and other countries.

Who we share information with

Only the service providers that run the site and our email, as described above, and only so they can provide that service. We do not sell personal information, share it for advertising, or give it to data brokers. We would disclose it if the law required us to.

Links to other sites

Subscribing to Red Queen Signals happens on LinkedIn under your LinkedIn account and LinkedIn's privacy policy. Buying the book happens on Amazon, under Amazon's privacy policy; this site loads nothing from Amazon until you click through. Articles link to their sources. Those sites have their own privacy practices.

Buying from us

Nothing is on sale yet. When the toolkit launches, payment will be handled by a hosted payment provider, we will never see card details, and this notice will be updated before the first sale.

Reviewing, correcting or deleting your information

Write to hello at redqueencipher dot com to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. We aim to reply within 30 days. Some US states and other countries give you specific privacy rights; we will honor a request you make under the law that applies to you.

If you are in Singapore

We serve customers in Singapore, so we also follow Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) for personal data collected from you there.

• Purposes and consent. We use your name, email address and anything you send us to reply to you, to scope and deliver briefings and purchases, to handle refunds and support, and to keep the records the law requires. By writing to us or buying from us, you consent to those uses. You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to our Data Protection Officer; we will explain what that means for any order or support still in progress.
• Access and correction. You can ask for the personal data we hold about you and how it has been used or disclosed in the past year, and ask us to correct it. We respond as soon as reasonably possible.
• Protection and retention. We protect your data with reasonable security arrangements and keep it only as long as it serves the purposes above or is needed for legal or business reasons.
• Transfers outside Singapore. We are based in the United States, so your data is handled there and by our service providers, which may process it in other countries. We transfer it where that is necessary to deal with your request or to perform our contract with you, and we use providers that protect personal data to a standard comparable to the PDPA.
• Data breaches. If a breach affected your data, we would assess it and notify you and the Personal Data Protection Commission where the PDPA requires.
• Marketing. We do not send marketing messages unless you have asked to receive them.
• Questions or complaints. Contact our Data Protection Officer first, at hello at redqueencipher dot com. You may also contact Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission.

Do Not Track

Your browser may send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because this site does not track you, on this site or across other sites, the signal changes nothing here: there is no tracking to switch off.

Children

This site is written for professionals and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has written to us, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We keep the little we hold in access-controlled accounts. If a security breach ever affected your information, we would notify you, and any authority, as the law requires.

Changes to this notice

When we change how the site handles information, for example by adding an email list or payments, we update this page first and change the effective date below.
