Parallel Editions is a small independent publisher. This site collects as little as it can: an email address if you choose to give us one, and anonymous counts of which pages get read. No advertising trackers and no profiles sold to anyone.
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address | Only if you subscribe to the mailing list | To send you the newsletter, and to send the free edition you asked for. Consent, which you confirm by clicking a link in an email before we ever send you anything else. |
| Name, email and message | Only if you use the requests form | To answer you. The email field is optional and exists so we can reply. |
| A random ID in your browser | If you use the daily translation challenge | To keep your streak and history on your own device, and to rate-limit grading by bad actors. It is not linked to your name or email. |
| Page views | Always | To know which books people look at. Counted anonymously, without cookies and without storing IP addresses. |
We do not sell or rent data to anyone, and we do not build advertising profiles.
This site sets no cookies. It uses your browser's local storage to remember things that only matter on your own device: your daily-challenge streak and history, and whether you have already seen or dismissed the mailing-list invite. None of that is sent anywhere.
