Privacy Notice

This notice describes how the Hardcover Foundation website (hardcoverfoundation.org) currently handles information. It covers this website only, as it exists today.

What this website does not do

As of this notice, the website does not:

• operate a contact form
• process donations or payments
• create or require user accounts
• offer online registration for programs
• use a newsletter or email-marketing service
• use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising cookies, or any other tool that profiles visitors or serves targeted advertising

If any of these features are added in the future, this notice will be updated first to describe them.

Browsing the website

The website consists of ordinary linked pages. Moving between pages on hardcoverfoundation.org does not submit any personal information to Hardcover Foundation.

Emailing Hardcover Foundation

Several pages provide a mailto: link to info@hardcoverfoundation.org. Selecting one of these links opens the email application already configured on your own device — the website itself does not collect, transmit, or store anything you type.

If you choose to send an email to info@hardcoverfoundation.org, any information you include — your name, email address, and the contents of your message — is provided voluntarily by you. That message is handled through your own email service and Hardcover Foundation's email service, the same way as any other email correspondence, and is not published on the website.

Security

Hardcover Foundation takes reasonable care with the systems it controls, but no method of electronic communication or storage is completely secure, and this notice does not promise absolute security or guarantee against every possible risk.

Retention

Hardcover Foundation does not commit to a specific retention period for email correspondence in this notice. Correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably useful for responding to and recordkeeping of the inquiry.

Changes to this notice

This notice may be updated as the website's features or services change — for example, if a contact form, donation processing, or an analytics tool is added later. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
