// TL;DR
We collect your email to tell you about the book. That's it. We don't sell it, share it, or do anything weird with it. We're developers, not data brokers.
When you join the waiting list, we collect:
That's literally it. No tracking cookies. No analytics surveillance. No fingerprinting.
-- SELECT email FROM waiting_list; -- That's the whole query.
| Action | Do We Do It? |
|---|---|
| Email you about "What the SQL!" book updates | ✓ Yes |
| Email you about related SQL/database content | ✓ Occasionally |
| Sell your email to third parties | ✗ Never |
| Share with "partners" or advertisers | ✗ Never |
| Spam you with unrelated stuff | ✗ Never |
| Use for AI training data | ✗ Never |
Your email is stored securely through our email service provider. We use industry-standard security practices. No, we don't store passwords in plaintext. We're not monsters.
You can:
-- DELETE FROM waiting_list WHERE email = 'you@example.com'; -- Done.
We use minimal third-party services:
We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or any of that surveillance capitalism stuff.
This site doesn't use cookies. No cookie banner needed. You're welcome.
This site isn't directed at children under 13. If you're under 13 and interested in SQL, that's awesome, but get a parent to sign up.
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. We won't suddenly start doing creepy things with your data.
Questions about your data? Reach out at @ddrscott or through the blog at ddrscott.github.io.
We're developers who wrote a book about SQL. We're not a data company. We don't want to be a data company. Your email is safe with us because we genuinely don't care about doing anything with it except telling you about the book.
We're good people doing good things. That's it.
