This is an old revision of the document!
The Kickstarter backer data is personally identifiable information. Treat it like medical radioactives. It's necessary, but don't leave it lying around. Under no circumstances is it to be uploaded to OneDrive, Google Drive, or other LLM feeders. Private, paid Dropbox accounts are acceptable.
Kickstarter does not allow updating the backer report in KS. We need to have a master spreadsheet. I'm now setting a 30-day drop dead timeline for users to fill out their survey.
To mail books we must verify:
- Backer Name (full first name, and last name: Customs won't let initials like “AB Backer” out of the country)
- Backer Phone Number (including country code) – We need a phone number, as stated in the KS description. Shippers will not accept overseas packages without phone numbers. Shippers check for fakes like 555-555-1212 or 1-234-567-8900, so those will not work. Many European and Asian customs agencies expect to text notifications to recipients. Even USPS is requiring phone numbers for about half of Priority Mail packages.
- Backer Shipping Address – now and then people put a fake address to receive books.
