  • Deliver purchased digital products (PDF guides) via email
  • Process payments through Lemon Squeezy
  • Send newsletter emails to subscribers (only after you opt in)
  • Provide customer support
  • Send transactional communications (order confirmations, download links, receipts)

We do not use your information to:

Legal bases for processing (EU/UK residents)

For users in the EU, UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland, we process personal information on the following legal bases:

  • Contract performance — to deliver the products you purchased
  • Legal obligation — to comply with tax, accounting, and consumer-protection laws
  • Legitimate interests — for security, fraud prevention, and service improvement, balanced against your rights
  • Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and any future optional communications

How we share your information

We disclose personal information only to:

Service providers (data processors)

Each of these providers acts as a data processor on our behalf and is bound by data processing agreements (DPAs) that include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where applicable.

Advertising — Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., to measure the performance of our advertising and to later optimize ad delivery. The pixel collects limited technical data — pages viewed, IP address, and browser/device information — and shares that data with Meta in the United States.

The pixel does not load for visitors in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland. It also does not load when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Visitors anywhere can opt out by enabling GPC in their browser; see our Cookie Policy for the specific cookie set (_fbp) and its lifespan.

Legal and compliance disclosures

We may disclose personal information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or ensure user safety.

What we do not do

We do not sell personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration. We do not disclose your personal information to advertisers or marketing networks, except the limited technical data shared with Meta through the Meta Pixel as described above.

International data transfers

The Services are operated from Kuwait, and our service providers are primarily located in the United States. If you are located outside the US, your personal information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the US and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

For transfers from the EU/UK/Switzerland to the US, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission and the UK Information Commissioner's Office. These SCCs are incorporated into the DPAs with each of our service providers.

We do not adhere to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Data retention

We retain personal information for up to 7 years after your last transaction or interaction. This retention period reflects:

  • Tax and accounting record-keeping obligations (Kuwait, US, EU)
  • Chargeback and payment dispute windows (up to 540 days under card scheme rules)
  • Statute of limitations for contract and consumer-protection claims

Newsletter subscribers may unsubscribe at any time, after which we remove their email from active sending. Records of subscription history may be retained for compliance purposes.

After 7 years, personal information is deleted or anonymized, except where ongoing legal obligations require longer retention.

Security measures

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information, including:

  • TLS/HTTPS encryption for all site traffic (via Cloudflare)
  • Two-factor authentication on all administrative accounts
  • PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance for payment processing (via Lemon Squeezy)
  • Encrypted email communications (via Google Workspace)
  • Access restricted to the Operator only

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and relevant data protection authorities within the timeframes required by applicable law (e.g., 72 hours under GDPR/UK GDPR).

Verification

To protect your privacy, we may require you to verify your identity before responding to a request. Verification typically involves confirming the email address used at purchase or newsletter signup.

Cookies and tracking

  • Cloudflare cookies for bot management and security
  • Lemon Squeezy session cookies for checkout functionality

For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When your browser sends GPC, the Meta Pixel does not load and no data is shared with Meta for advertising.

To submit a Data Subject Access Request, email [email protected] with the subject "DSAR." Include:

  • Your full name
