This is the official companion website for Who Framed Arlan Dunn?, a murder mystery puzzle book by Violet Ashford, published by Pencil & Page Puzzles. This policy explains what information this site collects, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
This site collects information only through specific, voluntary interactions. There is no passive data harvesting, no behavioral tracking, and no advertising. Below is a complete list of what is collected and why.
| Feature | Data collected | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Corrections form | Email address, page/location, correction details, IP address, timestamp | To receive and respond to case-file error reports |
| Witness Trail | Email address, witness and accuser details | To verify bonus challenge answers and deliver bonus content |
| Newsletter signup | Email address | To send updates about new books, puzzles, and Violet Ashford releases |
| Accusation checker | None stored. Submitted answers are checked server-side and discarded immediately. | To verify the reader's final answer |
The accusation checker on the Submit Accusation page does not store, log, or transmit any data beyond the immediate server-side comparison. Your submitted name, codes, record number, and page number are compared against private environment variables and discarded. No email address is collected. No cookies are set. No record of your submission is retained.
Email addresses submitted through the corrections form, the Witness Trail, or the newsletter signup are processed through Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), a third-party email service provider. Brevo processes this data on behalf of Violet Ashford in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy.
Your email address will never be sold, rented, or shared with any third party for marketing purposes. It is used only for the specific purpose for which it was submitted.
If you subscribe to the newsletter, you will receive periodic emails about new books, puzzles, and updates from Violet Ashford and Pencil & Page Puzzles. Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. Use that link to unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time so Brevo can process the request automatically.
The Witness Trail is an optional bonus challenge. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to identify the witness who defended Arlan and the accuser who turned him in, along with your email address. This information is submitted through Brevo and is used solely to verify your answers and deliver bonus content related to the challenge.
Submitting the Witness Trail form does not subscribe you to the newsletter. Your email address will not be used for marketing unless you separately opt in to the newsletter. If your answers are correct, you will receive a one-time response with the bonus content. If your answers are incorrect, you will be notified so you can try again.
