What Information We Collect
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily provide it. This includes: • Newsletter subscriptions — your name and email address when you sign up to receive updates. • Contact form submissions — your name, email address, the nature of your enquiry (reader, press, publishers, or events), your organisation (if provided), and the content of your message. We do not collect sensitive personal data, and we do not use tracking pixels or behavioural advertising technologies.
How We Use Your Information
Information collected through this website is used solely for the following purposes: • To respond to your enquiries and correspondence. • To send you newsletter updates about new publications, events, essays, and literary news — only if you have subscribed. • To maintain records of press and publisher enquiries for follow-up purposes. We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Newsletters & Marketing
By subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to receiving periodic email communications from Obinna Udenwe. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. We honour all unsubscribe requests promptly.
Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely on servers operated by our hosting providers. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or from this website.
Third-Party Services
This website uses a small number of trusted third-party services to operate: • Cloudinary — for hosting and serving images. • Vercel — for website hosting and deployment. • Render — for backend API services. These providers operate under their own privacy policies and data-processing agreements. We do not share your personal information with these providers beyond what is technically necessary to deliver the service.
Cookies
This website uses only essential cookies required for basic functionality (such as authentication for the site administrator). We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any cookies that track your behaviour across other websites. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect certain site features.
Your Rights
Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to: • Request access to the personal data we hold about you. • Request correction of inaccurate data. • Request deletion of your personal data. • Withdraw consent to marketing at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the form on the Contact page.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of this website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
