Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
Welcome to the digital home of RJ Casta. Your privacy is deeply important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit rjcasta.com, subscribe to our newsletter (The Calandis Ledger via Beehiiv), or interact with our content.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide: When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you contact us directly or fill out a form, we collect any information you choose to provide (such as your name). You will be added to our newsletter if and only if you opt in on the contact form.
Automated Information: Like most websites and digital newsletters, we use cookies and tracking tools to collect standard backend data. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, and engagement data (such as email open rates and link clicks) to help us understand what content our readers enjoy most.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data strictly to deliver the literary content, book updates, and lore snippets you signed up for. Specifically, we use it to:
Send you The Calandis Ledger updates.
Analyze newsletter performance to improve our stories and layouts.
Notify you about upcoming book launches, wide-distribution platforms, and special community updates. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
We partner with trusted service providers to manage our author infrastructure. Your data is securely processed through platforms including Beehiiv (for newsletter distribution and analytics) and Squarespace (for website hosting). These platforms adhere to strict privacy and security compliance standards.
4. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)
Regardless of where you live, you have complete control over your data.
Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from The Calandis Ledger at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email.
Access & Deletion: You have the right to request a copy of the data held about you or request that it be completely erased from our systems. Because our newsletter infrastructure is hosted by Beehiiv, data exports and permanent deletions are handled directly at the platform level. To exercise these rights, please email privacy@beehiiv.com.
For access & deletions on rjcasta.com, hosted by Squarespace, please email author@rjcasta.com.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our legal requirements or author services. Any updates will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
