Privacy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

This page explains, in plain words, what happens when you leave your email address on dantheworrier.com, and how to change your mind later.

Who we are

This site is run by Hurricane Lantern Books, P.O. Box 16266, Tel Aviv-Yafo 6116201, Israel. For anything about your information, write to hello@dantheworrier.com.

This signup is for grown-ups

The email form on our "For the grown-ups" page is for adults only: parents, grandparents, teachers, and other grown-ups. It isn't meant for children, and we ask you not to enter a child's name, email, or any other information about a child. If you think a child has given us their email, please write to us and we'll delete it.

What we collect

• Your email address, and when you signed up.
• When you confirm by email, MailerLite, our email provider, also records the time of your confirmation and the IP address it came from.
• If you get our emails: whether you open them and which links you click (see "Tracking in our emails").

We don't ask for names, ages, or anything about your child.

Why, and is it required?

Yes. To listen on our "For the grown-ups" page, you enter your email. We use it:

• To open the read-aloud for you.
• To send you our emails about Dan the Worrier: a few welcome emails, then news, including new books and offers. You'll first get one email asking you to confirm, and our emails start only after you confirm. You can unsubscribe at any time.

If you have the book, the QR code on the back cover opens the story directly, with no email.

We never sell or rent your email, and we don't share it with anyone for their own use.

Who helps us

• MailerLite stores our email list and sends our emails, on our behalf, as our data processor. MailerLite says it stores data in the European Union and may transfer it to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Its privacy policy: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy
• If you write to hello@dantheworrier.com, we may use an AI service provider, Anthropic, to help us sort your message and draft a reply. Anthropic acts as our data processor. A person reviews every reply before it is sent, and we don't use your message to train AI models.
• Cloudflare hosts this website and runs the small step that passes your email to MailerLite. Like any web host, it handles technical information such as your IP address so pages load and the site stays safe.

So your information is handled outside Israel, in the EU and the US.

Cookies and tracking on this site

This site doesn't set tracking or advertising cookies, and its pages carry no advertising trackers. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits in aggregate. It doesn't use cookies, and doesn't use IP addresses to identify visitors or track you across sites. We count visits, listens, signups and clicks to Amazon by where you came from (for example, Pinterest), as totals only, with no email or IP address. Our host, Cloudflare, handles technical data such as IP addresses to serve pages and keep the site secure, and may set strictly necessary security cookies. See Cloudflare's privacy policy. We don't track you across other websites, so the site works the same whether or not your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal.

Tracking in our emails

Our emails use a small invisible image and tracked links, so MailerLite can tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. We use this only to see what's useful. To avoid it, you can unsubscribe or turn off images in your email app.

How long we keep your information

• Until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. After you unsubscribe, we keep only a note that you did, so we never email you again.
• If you never confirm: we delete it within 30 days.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we have about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can withdraw your consent to our emails at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email or by writing to hello@dantheworrier.com. We'll reply within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can complain to Israel's Privacy Protection Authority, or to the data protection authority where you live.

Changes to this page

If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
