Effective date: October 15, 2026
This notice covers everyone who visits lanternwb.com (sections on website visits, advertising and cookies) and the people and organisations we contact about the book (the outreach sections below). Lantern does not ask for or collect tips, and the site has no accounts or sign-up forms.
When you visit lanternwb.com, our host (Netlify) processes standard server data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, to deliver and secure the site. We do not try to identify individual visitors.
This notice explains how we handle personal data when we email people and organisations about the book Chicago / Lagos, The Hire That Did Not Stop by Afolabi O. Ogunde (Clearwater Insight).
Clearwater Communications Ltd H15A Rd 35, Victoria Garden City, Lagos, Nigeria
Contact for anything in this notice: letters@agentmail.to
For each person or organisation we contact, we hold only:
We also keep a record of the emails we send, any reply you send us, and whether you have opted out.
We do not buy contact lists, and we do not collect sensitive data about you.
All contact details were collected from publicly available sources: websites, contact pages and published profiles. The specific source for your address is named in the email we send you.
To offer you a free copy of the book (in English, Yoruba or Hausa) and an optional affiliate code, and to follow up on any reply you send. That is the only purpose.
We rely on legitimate interests (UK GDPR / EU GDPR Article 6(1)(f); Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, section 25).
Our balancing test, in short:
We keep a written legitimate interests assessment and can share it on request.
If you do not reply, we delete your details no later than 12 months after our first email.
If you reply, we keep the correspondence for as long as we are in contact, and then for up to 12 months.
If you opt out, we keep only your email address, the date and the reason on a suppression list, so that we never contact you again. We keep that entry for as long as we do outreach.
Reply "unsubscribe" to any of our emails, or write to letters@agentmail.to. We will honour your request within 10 business days, and usually much sooner. Your address goes on our suppression list, and we will not email you again.
We do not sell, rent or trade your data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
Our email service provider (AgentMail) processes messages on our behalf so that they can be sent and received. Some processing may take place outside your country.
