Accounts and Purchases
To purchase a book or access additional online features (which could include quizzes, games, meetings with the author, or other bonus materials), you are required to create a user account. When you register, we collect and store the personal information you provide, such as your name and email address.
We use your email address to:
Send you access to your purchased book and instructions on how to download it;
Provide information about additional features and materials associated with your purchase;
Notify you of updates or new versions of the book;
Communicate with you regarding your account and any other matters directly related to the service you have purchased.
Your personal information is used solely for communication between our service and you as a buyer. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third-party partners for marketing or any other purposes.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies, to avoid requiring you to fill in your details again in the future. These cookies will be retained for a maximum period of one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Sharing your data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell your personal information to any partner. Your data is used exclusively for communication between you and our service, as described in the “Accounts and Purchases” section above. We do not otherwise share visitors’ or buyers’ data with third parties, except where required by law or to process your payment through our payment provider, Stripe.
When you make a purchase, the payment and billing information you provide is collected and processed directly by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your full payment card details on our own servers. Stripe’s use of your information is governed by Stripe’s own privacy policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile for as long as their account remains active, and as needed to provide access to purchased books and related materials. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, have made a purchase, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes (for example, records required for accounting or tax compliance related to your purchase).
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Purchases are processed through Stripe, our payment provider, which receives the information necessary to complete the transaction.
