Privacy Policy
We collect as little as possible, and only to deliver the book and the occasional essay.
Last updated: May 30, 2026
Who we are
Build First Brain is a book published by Lawrence Arya. For any privacy question, contact [email protected]. This policy is written to be plain and honest; it is a template and not legal advice.
What we collect
- Your email address and first name, when you sign up to receive the book.
- Basic, aggregate analytics about page visits, if analytics are enabled, in a privacy-first, cookieless way.
We do not collect payment information: the book is free for the first 1,000 readers.
Why we collect it
- To send you the book you asked for.
- To send occasional essays on language, AI, and the human future, which you can leave at any time.
- To understand, in aggregate, which writing is useful, so we can write more of it.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or rent your data.
- We do not send spam. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe.
- We do not set advertising or tracking cookies.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete your data, or to stop emailing you, at any time. Email [email protected] and we will act on it promptly. You may unsubscribe directly from the footer of any email we send.
Third parties
We use an email service provider to store your address and deliver messages, and a hosting provider to serve this site. These providers process data on our behalf under their own data-protection terms.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above. Material changes that affect you will be communicated by email where appropriate.
