I'm Akhil Sharma, a writer based in Granada, Spain. This is a personal author website. Here's what I collect, store, and do with your data — in plain language.

01 What I collect

If you subscribe to my newsletter Margin Notes, I collect your email address and the reading preference you select (Non-fiction, Fiction, or Both). That's it. I don't collect anything from general visitors to the site — no analytics, no tracking, no cookies.

If you email me at akhil@akhilmsharma.com, I receive your message through Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards mail to my personal inbox. I don't log or publish anything you send me.

02 Where your data is stored

Newsletter subscriptions are handled by Beehiiv, the platform I use to send Margin Notes. Your email lives on their systems in the United States, not on this site's servers. Their privacy policy applies to that data.

03 What I do with it

Your email is used only to send Margin Notes and occasional updates about new books. I don't sell, share, or rent it. Ever.

04 Your rights

You can unsubscribe from Margin Notes at any time — every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. If you want me to delete any record of your email, or to confirm what I have on file, write to akhil@akhilmsharma.com and I'll handle it within a week.

05 Cookies and tracking

This site doesn't set any cookies or run any analytics scripts at the time of this writing. If that changes, I'll update this page.
