Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 23, 2026 · Last Updated: June 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit DemocracyOnSale.com (the "Site"), how that information is used, and the third-party services involved. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Who We Are

The Site is operated by Mateo Tomas Portelli in connection with the book Democracy on Sale: The 7 Rules of Door-to-Door Political Canvassing — 2026 Field Edition. For any privacy question or request, contact Mateo@MartelloPieto.com.

Information We Collect

We only collect information you choose to provide, plus limited technical data automatically generated when any website is visited.

  • Launch / newsletter signup. If you join the launch list, we collect your email address.
  • Bulk-order quote requests. If you submit the bulk-order form, we collect the information you enter — typically your name, email address, phone number, organization or campaign name, shipping city and state, desired delivery date, intended use, and any notes you provide.
  • Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and access times for security and reliability. We do not run advertising or analytics tracking on the Site.

How We Use Your Information

  • To send you the book's launch announcement and purchase link if you joined the list.
  • To respond to bulk-order inquiries, prepare quotes, and arrange fulfillment.
  • To communicate with you about your request.
  • To operate, secure, and maintain the Site.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on a small number of reputable service providers ("processors") to operate the Site. When you provide information, it may be processed by:

  • Buttondown — manages the email/newsletter list and sends launch emails. See Buttondown's privacy policy.
  • Web3Forms — processes bulk-order form submissions and delivers them to our email inbox.
  • Cloudflare — hosts and delivers the Site and provides security and performance services; it processes technical data such as IP addresses.
  • Google Fonts — fonts are served from Google's servers, which may receive your IP address as part of delivering those fonts.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy policy and security practices. We share information with them only as needed to provide the Site and respond to your requests, and we may disclose information if required by law.

Cookies & Tracking

The Site does not use advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not build advertising profiles. Our service providers may set limited functional cookies necessary to deliver their features (for example, basic security or spam-prevention). If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy.

Email & Your Choices

If you joined the launch list, every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. To request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided, email Mateo@MartelloPieto.com and we will respond as required by applicable law. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) or the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above — for example, to maintain the launch list until you unsubscribe, or to handle and record a bulk-order inquiry — after which it is deleted or anonymized, unless a longer period is required by law.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We and our providers use reasonable measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
