What we collect
When you apply to be a Founding Author, we collect your name, email address, country, portfolio link, the categories you sell in, how many items you have, where you sell now, and any message you add. We also record when you gave consent.
Our server logs technical data such as your IP address and browser type to keep the site secure and to limit abuse.
Why we use it

- To send you a confirmation and messages about your application.
- To protect the site from spam and abuse.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who can see it
Only our team, and service providers who help us run the site, such as our hosting and email providers. They may process data outside your country. We may also disclose data where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep application data while the Founding Author programme is running and for up to 12 months afterwards, unless you become an author or ask us to delete it sooner.
Cookies
We use one security cookie to protect forms from misuse, and a session cookie in the admin area. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
