4. Technical and Usage Data
Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools may automatically collect limited technical information, such as:
- IP address
- Browser type and operating system
- Device information
- Pages visited, referring pages, and timestamps
This information is used for security, performance, troubleshooting, and to understand how the Site is used, and is not used to build detailed personal profiles.
What We Do Not Intentionally Collect or Retain
Outside of subscription emails, order history, and the limited technical data described above, we do not intentionally collect or permanently retain additional personal information such as:
- Sensitive personal information (for example, government ID numbers or medical information)
- Detailed behavioral profiles tied to your identity
Any incidental data stored temporarily in logs is managed in line with our security and maintenance practices.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To process and fulfill your orders and provide digital products or access you purchased
- To provide customer support and resolve issues related to your purchases
- To send you communications you have opted in to receive (such as releases, updates, and offers)

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
We may share your information only in these limited situations:
- Service Providers: With trusted third‑party providers that help us operate the Site and deliver services, including website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, and analytics. These providers only receive the information necessary to perform their services on our behalf and are expected to protect it.
- Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of others.
We do not sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising.
Data Retention
- Subscription email information is retained as long as you remain subscribed or until you request removal.
- Order records and related information are retained for as long as necessary to comply with tax, accounting, and legal obligations, typically up to 7 years, unless a longer period is required by law.
- Technical logs and analytics data are retained for a limited period needed for security, troubleshooting, and performance analysis, after which they may be deleted or anonymized.
Where possible, we may anonymize or aggregate data so it can no longer be linked to an individual.

- Access, Update, or Deletion: You may contact us to request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion where this does not conflict with our legal obligations.
We will review and respond to requests within a reasonable time.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take steps to delete it.
