What this site collects

Only what you type into the newsletter form: your email address. Nothing else on this site asks for or stores personal information, and there are no advertising trackers anywhere on it.

Nothing on these pages is loaded from another company — no scripts, no fonts, no pixels. When you submit the signup form it goes to this site, and this site passes your address to the newsletter service. Your browser never talks to them directly, so they never see that you were here unless you actually sign up.

What your email is used for

To let you know when a new Freestyle book is out, along with the occasional cover reveal, heat-level and content note, or bit of bonus material — and, once it’s written, to send you the free training-camp prequel story. That’s the whole list of uses.

Who else sees it

Bento stores the list and sends the emails, acting on Tessa Cross’s instructions and permitted to use your address for nothing else. If a reader freebie like the prequel is ever delivered to your e-reader, BookFunnel handles that hand-off. Your address is never sold, rented, or traded.

Leaving the list

Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you’re off, immediately and permanently — no questions, no “are you sure?” flow. To have your address deleted outright rather than just unsubscribed, message the account below and it will be removed.

Books you read

When the series is out, purchases and Kindle Unlimited reads happen entirely on Amazon, under Amazon’s own privacy policy. This site never sees your payment details or your reading activity — the book links simply hand you over to Amazon.

Cookies

None — not for tracking, not for anything else, and that includes when you sign up. The site remembers one thing, in your browser only: whether you dismissed the “coming soon” bar, so it doesn’t reappear for the rest of your visit. It’s forgotten when you close the tab and it never leaves your device.

Getting in touch

Questions about any of this, or want your details removed? Reach out on Instagram (@authortessacross) and it’ll get sorted.
