Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how 500 Lines Media LLC (“500 Lines Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our websites, join our mailing lists, or participate in pre-launch campaigns for our creative works — including projects such as Odin Punked.
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
We will never sell your email address or personal information to anyone. Your email and identity will not be used for any purpose other than communicating with you about 500 Lines Media and works published, produced, or promoted by 500 Lines Media — including graphic novels, books, events, pre-launch updates, and related news you have opted in to receive.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following information when you interact with our site:
- Contact information: such as your name and email address when you sign up for updates.
- Payment information: if you purchase a pre-launch offer, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers.
- Campaign data: such as UTM parameters or referral source if you arrive via an advertisement or shared link.
- Technical data: such as browser type, IP address, and session cookies needed to operate the site securely.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect only to:
- Send pre-launch updates, announcements, and promotional emails about 500 Lines Media projects you have agreed to receive.
- Confirm purchases and deliver perks associated with pre-launch offers.
- Improve our website, campaigns, and reader experience.
- Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud or abuse.
We do not use your information for unrelated third-party marketing, and we do not rent, trade, or sell your personal data to data brokers, advertisers, or other companies.
Email Communications
By submitting your email address and checking the consent box on our signup form, you agree to receive email communications from 500 Lines Media about our works and related promotions. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send. Unsubscribing will not affect transactional messages related to a purchase you have made (such as payment confirmations).
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party providers to operate our site:
- Stripe — processes payments securely. Stripe’s use of your data is governed by Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
- Email delivery — we use email service providers to send messages on our behalf. They may process your email address solely to deliver our communications.
- Hosting providers — our website and database are hosted on secure infrastructure. These providers access data only as needed to maintain the service.
These providers are contractually required to protect your information and may not use it for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies & Sessions
We use essential session cookies to keep you signed in during the pre-launch funnel (for example, between the signup and offer pages) and to protect forms against abuse. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell data collected through cookies.
Data Retention
We retain your contact information for as long as you remain subscribed to our communications or as needed to fulfill purchases and legal obligations. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law (such as payment records).

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your personal information.
- Opt out of marketing emails at any time.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
