Account data (email address, password hash, account creation date) — to create and secure your account and to give you access to the guides you purchased. Legal basis: performance of a contract.

Purchase and entitlement data (order and transaction identifiers, purchased product, licence key, purchase date, amount) — to unlock content, provide support and meet accounting duties. Legal basis: contract and legal obligation.

Support messages (name, email, message content) — to answer your enquiry. Legal basis: legitimate interest in responding to users.

We do not collect or store your card details. Payment data is handled by Paddle as Merchant of Record.

We never sell your personal data.

Some of our providers process data outside the UK/EEA. Where that happens we rely on adequacy decisions or EU Standard Contractual Clauses together with appropriate technical safeguards.

Account and entitlement records are kept while your account exists, so that you keep access to what you bought. Purchase records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires (generally up to 10 years). Support messages are kept up to 24 months. Technical logs are kept up to 12 months. Afterwards data is deleted or anonymised.

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Contact us and we will respond within one month.

You may also complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, hashed credentials, row-level access control on our database and server-side delivery of purchased content, so that guides are only served to the account that owns them.

We use strictly necessary cookies and browser storage for sign-in sessions, your cart, your language choice and your reading position. Our payment provider sets cookies needed to run checkout securely. We do not use advertising cookies. You can clear or block cookies in your browser, but sign-in and checkout will then not work.
