Site information
Privacy
A plain-language explanation of how this author website handles reader, subscriber, and anonymous visitor information.
Last updated: August 4, 2026.
Lantern Road mailing list
When you join the Lantern Road, the site collects the email address you submit and the page from which you subscribed. Subscriber information is sent securely to Resend, the email-delivery service used for reader-guide delivery and author updates. Subscriber addresses are not placed in the public website repository, sold, rented, or provided to advertisers.
Every publication email includes an unsubscribe method. You may also ask to unsubscribe, review, correct, or delete your mailing-list information by emailing keith@rkeithparkerbooks.com.
Anonymous visitor reporting
The site keeps private, owner-only counts of human visits and outbound reader actions, such as clicks to Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, Facebook, email, or reader-guide downloads. These records may include the page visited, approximate time, referring page, destination link, and an anonymous browser identifier used to distinguish repeat activity.
The visitor system does not intentionally place a reader’s name or mailing-list address in analytics records. Common search, social-preview, monitoring, and automated agents are excluded where they can be recognized. Browsers that send a Do Not Track preference are not recorded by the private visitor counter.
Cookies and local identifiers
The site may use a first-party anonymous identifier so repeat visits are not counted as entirely new people each time. It is used for private site measurement, not cross-site advertising, behavioral profiling, or sale to third parties.
External services and links
Links to Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub, Facebook, and other external services open sites with their own privacy practices. This policy governs information handled by rkeithparkerbooks.com, not information you provide directly to those services.
Advertising
The author may advertise books through outside platforms, but this website does not sell visitor or subscriber information to advertisers. Campaign links may include UTM labels so the author can compare which advertisement led to a visit or outbound book click.
Security and retention
Reasonable technical safeguards are used to keep subscriber and owner-only reporting information private. Information is retained only as long as it remains useful for the reader list, site security, legal obligations, or aggregate performance reporting.
Questions or deletion requests
Privacy questions and requests concerning information handled by this site may be sent to keith@rkeithparkerbooks.com.
