Privacy Policy
Last updated October 8, 2026.
This is the plain-language version, because nobody, including Newton, has ever finished reading a real privacy policy.
What we collect
When you place an order, we collect your name, email address, and shipping address. Payment details are entered directly into Stripe and never touch our servers — Stripe processes and stores that information under its own security standards. We do not create accounts or store passwords; there is nothing to log into here.
Cookies and advertising
We advertise on Google, and the site loads Google’s advertising tag so we can tell whether those ads lead to anyone actually buying a book. The tag sets cookies in your browser, and Google uses them to notice when someone who clicked one of our ads later reaches the order-confirmation page. When you do place an order, we tell Google its total before shipping and tax, along with an order reference number, so the same order is never counted twice. Google also collects the usual details about your visit, such as your browser, device, and the pages you looked at, and it handles that information under its own privacy policy. We never send Google your name, email address, or anything you typed into a form.
If you’d rather not be part of it, you can turn off personalized ads in Google’s ad settings, or block or clear cookies in your browser. The shop works just the same without them.
To count visitors we also use Plausible, which sets no cookies and does not identify you. It tells us how many people came by and which pages they read, and nothing about who they were. Stripe’s checkout sets its own cookies to keep your payment session secure, which is out of our hands and, frankly, none of our business.
Order confirmations and shipping updates are sent through Resend. Buying something does not put you on a mailing list, and we do not sell your name, email, or address, or share them with anyone for marketing purposes.
The mailing list
You only join if you ask to — by filling in the form on the home page, or by ticking the box in the cart, which is never ticked for you. When you do, we keep your email address, your name if you gave one, the exact sentence you agreed to, the date you agreed, and where it happened (the site or the checkout), along with the internet address the request came from, when there is one. We keep it so that if anyone ever asks why you are on the list, the answer is on file rather than a shrug.
We use it for occasional news about books, cards, and Newton’s opinions. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and one click is all it takes. If you would rather not click anything, write to the studio and we’ll take you off ourselves.
Comments
If you leave a comment on the blog, we keep your name, the comment itself, your email address if you chose to give one, and the internet address the comment came from, which is only there to keep the spam out. Every comment is read by a person before it appears, so yours will not show up straight away.
Your email address is never shown on the site and never added to the mailing list — it is only how we would reply to you privately. Write to the studio and we’ll take a comment down, no explanation needed.
Questions, or deletion requests
Write to the studio and we’ll sort it out, promptly and without fuss.
