Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 May 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Digital Orthodox Patristic Library Limited handles personal data collected through the website orthodox-patristic-library.com. We process personal data only where there is a lawful basis to do so.

The data controller is Digital Orthodox Patristic Library Limited, Unit 2904-05, 29/F, Universal Trade Centre, 3 Arbuthnot Road, Central, Hong Kong. For any privacy question or request, contact us at info@orthodox-patristic-library.com.
2. What data we collect
- Waitlist data: when you join our launch waitlist, we collect the email address you submit, together with the time of submission and the page it came from.
- Usage data: when you browse the site, we collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, referring source, and interactions with the page.
- Server logs: our hosting provider records standard technical data such as IP address and request time for security and operation of the service.
We do not knowingly collect special categories of data, and we do not ask for more than the email address described above.
3. Why we process it, and our legal bases
- To operate the waitlist and email you about the launch of the service. Legal basis: your consent, given when you submit the form.
- To understand and improve the website through analytics. Legal basis: your consent, or our legitimate interest in a functioning and well-designed website.
- To keep the service secure and prevent abuse. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in protecting the service.
4. Service providers
We use the following providers, who process data on our behalf or as part of delivering the website. Each acts under its own data protection terms.
- Vercel Inc. hosts and delivers the website.
- Supabase provides the database in which waitlist email addresses are stored.
- Resend delivers transactional email, including launch and notification emails.
- PostHog provides product analytics about how the website is used.
- Microsoft Clarity provides aggregated session analytics and heatmaps.
Fonts used on this site are served from our own servers, so visiting the site does not send a request to an external font provider.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Our analytics providers may set cookies or use similar browser storage to recognise repeat visits and measure usage. You can block or delete these through your browser settings. Blocking them does not affect your ability to read the website or join the waitlist.
6. International transfers
Our providers may process data on servers located outside Hong Kong or outside your country of residence. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards offered by those providers, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect your data.
7. How long we keep data
Waitlist email addresses are kept until the service launches and you have had the opportunity to opt in or out, after which addresses that are no longer needed are deleted. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention periods of the providers listed above.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or erase your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, to receive a copy of it, and to withdraw consent at any time. Visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR; visitors in Hong Kong have rights under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already took place.
9. How to exercise your rights
To make any request, email info@orthodox-patristic-library.com. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
