Privacy Policy

Who we are

TBR Destroyer (“TBR Destroyer,” “we,” “us”) runs the website at tbrdestroyer.com and a daily email newsletter that surfaces discounted romantasy audiobooks and ebooks. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site or subscribe to the newsletter, how we use it, and the choices you have.

If you have any questions, email us at [email protected].

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you sign up for the newsletter, we collect the email address you submit through the signup form. Submitting the form is optional; you can browse the site without providing an email.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our analytics provider (Google Analytics) automatically collects standard technical and usage information, which may include:

• Your IP address (typically truncated by Google before storage)
• Browser type and version, operating system, and device type
• Pages you view, the order you view them, and how long you stay
• The referring page or link that brought you to the site
• Approximate geographic location derived from your IP address

We do not knowingly collect any other personal information from visitors who do not subscribe.

How we use this information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you the welcome email and the daily deals newsletter you signed up for
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website and the newsletter
• Understand which deals, posts, and pages our readers engage with
• Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and technical problems
• Comply with our legal obligations

We do not sell your email address. We do not rent or trade your information with anyone for their own marketing.

Service providers and partners we share data with

We rely on a small number of third-party services to run the newsletter and the website, and on advertising partners to run our ads. Each is bound by its own privacy commitments:

• Resend — stores your subscriber record and delivers the welcome email and daily newsletter. See the Resend privacy policy.
• Google Analytics — collects aggregate site-usage statistics. See the Google privacy policy. You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to block this data collection.
• Advertising partners (“Partners”) — the social media and advertising platforms where we run TBR Destroyer ads. This site uses pixels, cookies, and similar technologies from third parties, including Meta, to measure the results of our advertising and to show our ads to people who have visited the site. Each Partner’s tag sets its own cookies and receives your IP address, the pages you view here, and whether you sign up. Each Partner’s use of this data is governed by its own privacy policy, and you can limit it in the ad settings of your account with that Partner. Our site does not load any Partner’s tag at all — no request is made to any Partner — if your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.
• DigitalOcean — hosts the website and the subscribe API. See the DigitalOcean privacy policy.
• Amazon Associates — when you click a deal link to Amazon, Amazon sets its own cookies and may earn us an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases. Your interaction on Amazon is governed by the Amazon Privacy Notice.

Cookies and tracking

The website uses cookies set by Google Analytics to recognize returning visitors and measure aggregate traffic, and cookies set by our Partners’ tags to measure our advertising and to show our ads on their platforms to people who have visited this site. We do not sell this data, and we do not use it to target ads about anything other than TBR Destroyer. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so will not break the site or the newsletter.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we disable Google Analytics and do not load any Partner’s tag for your visit.

Affiliate links

Links to retailers in the newsletter and on the site may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. We disclose this on every page of the site and at the bottom of every email. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

How long we keep your information

We keep your email address in our subscriber list for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your email is marked unsubscribed in Resend and is no longer used for sending. Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention period we configure in Google Analytics (default: 14 months for user- and event-level data).

Your choices

• Unsubscribe at any time. Every email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer, and Gmail and Apple Mail will surface a native unsubscribe button in the message header. You can also email [email protected] to be removed manually.
• Opt out of analytics and advertising cookies. Send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal from your browser. We honor either one automatically: it stops both Google Analytics and every Partner’s tag on this site. An ad or tracker blocker may also help block these tools, but we cannot control or verify what a blocker covers. The Google Analytics opt-out add-on linked above stops Google Analytics only; it has no effect on Partners’ tags.
• Control ad targeting by our Partners. Adjust the ad or personalization settings in your account with each Partner, or opt out of interest-based advertising at the DAA WebChoices tool or, in Europe, at Your Online Choices.
• Email us. Write to [email protected] if you want us to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you.

If you are in the EU, UK, or EEA (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent laws give you the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing
• The right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
• The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Our lawful basis for processing your email address is your consent, given when you submit the signup form. Our lawful basis for processing analytics data is our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used. Advertising cookies set by our Partners’ tags require consent under the ePrivacy rules that apply in the EEA and UK.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives California residents specific rights regarding personal information. In the past twelve months, the categories of personal information we have collected are:

• Identifiers: email address, IP address
• Internet or other electronic network activity information: pages visited, referring URLs, device and browser information
• Geolocation data: approximate location derived from IP address

We collect this information from you directly (email) and automatically through your interaction with the site (the rest). The purposes are described in “How we use this information” above.

As a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected about you
• Delete the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

We do not sell personal information. We do share identifiers and online-activity data with our advertising Partners through their tags for cross-context behavioral advertising — that is, to show TBR Destroyer ads on their platforms to people who have visited this site, and to measure whether those ads work. Under the CPRA you have the right to opt out of that sharing.

To opt out of sharing: send a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal from your browser, which we honor automatically for every visitor, or email [email protected]. To exercise any other right, email the same address.

Children

The site and the newsletter are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has subscribed, email us at [email protected] and we will delete the record.

International users

TBR Destroyer is operated from the United States, and our service providers process data in the United States and other countries. If you subscribe from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your jurisdiction.

Security

We rely on the security controls of our service providers (Resend, Google, DigitalOcean), use HTTPS across the site, and limit access to subscriber data to what is needed to operate the newsletter. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Material changes will be highlighted on the site or sent via the newsletter.
