Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Priansi Limited collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit our website and purchase e-books from us.

We've kept this policy as plain and short as we reasonably can. If anything is unclear, please contact us at support@priansibooks.site and we'll do our best to explain.

1. Who We Are

Priansi Limited is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

For the purposes of UK data protection law — the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 — we are the "controller" of your personal data when you use the Site or purchase from us.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of personal data necessary to fulfil your order.

When you place an order

• Your email address (so we can deliver your e-book and confirm your order)
• Payment information (collected and processed by Stripe — we do not see or store your full card details)
• Billing details required by Stripe for fraud prevention and tax purposes (typically name and country)

When you visit the Site

• Standard server logs, including IP address, request times, browser type, and pages requested. These are used solely for security and operational purposes (e.g. detecting attacks, debugging issues).
• Cart contents stored locally in your browser (localStorage) so the cart works as you browse the site. This is held on your device and is not transmitted to us.

When you contact us

• Whatever information you choose to include in your message (typically your email address and the content of the message).

What we do not use

• Analytics or tracking tools (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, etc.)
• Advertising or marketing pixels (Meta Pixel, Google Ads, etc.)
• Third-party social media tracking
• Newsletter or marketing email systems

3. How We Use Your Data, and Our Lawful Basis

Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your data. Here is how we use your data and the basis for each use:

Purpose	Data used	Lawful basis
Fulfilling your order (delivering the e-book, sending the download link)	Email address, order data	Contract performance — Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR
Processing payments	Card data via Stripe	Contract performance — Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR
Sending order confirmations and refund notices	Email address, order data	Contract performance — Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR
Keeping accounting records	Order data	Legal obligation — Article 6(1)(c) UK GDPR (UK tax law)
Operating and securing the Site (server logs)	IP address, request data	Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR
Responding to your enquiries	Whatever you send us	Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

To run the Site and deliver your orders, we use a small number of trusted third-party service providers (known in data protection law as "processors"). Each of these provides a Data Processing Agreement and processes your data only on our instructions.

Provider	Purpose	Location	Transfer mechanism
Stripe	Payment processing	US, with EU/UK data centres	UK IDTA + EU SCCs
Vercel	Website hosting	US, with EU edge nodes	UK IDTA + EU SCCs
Resend	Transactional email delivery	US	UK IDTA + EU SCCs
Vercel Blob	E-book file storage	US, with EU regions available	UK IDTA + EU SCCs

We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or transfer it to anyone other than the processors listed above, except where required by law.

5. International Transfers

Some of our processors are based in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), which all of our processors have in place. These mechanisms are designed to ensure your data receives equivalent protection wherever it is processed.

6. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your data only for as long as we need it:

• Order records (including email address and purchase details): 6 years from the end of the relevant tax year, as required by UK tax law (HMRC retention period). After this, they are deleted.
• Server logs: typically 30 days, as routinely rotated by our hosting provider.
• Email correspondence: retained while it remains relevant, generally up to 2 years from the last interaction, then deleted.

After the relevant retention period, your data is deleted or anonymised.

7. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — ask us to delete your data, subject to our legal retention obligations
• Right to restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability — receive your data in a portable format
• Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Right to withdraw consent — where we rely on consent (we currently don't, but the right exists if that changes)
• Right to lodge a complaint — with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, email support@priansibooks.site. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you may complain directly to the ICO:

• Website: ico.org.uk
• Helpline: 0303 123 1113

You do not have to contact us first, but we would appreciate the chance to address any concerns directly.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses only strictly necessary technologies, which under UK and EU privacy law do not require your consent:

• localStorage: used to remember the contents of your shopping cart while you browse. This data is stored in your browser only — it is not transmitted to us.
• No analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or tracking cookies are set by our Site.

When you reach the Stripe checkout page to make payment, Stripe sets its own cookies on its hosted page, which are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy, available at stripe.com/privacy.

Because we do not use any non-essential cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we add anything that would require consent in the future, we will update this policy and add a banner accordingly.

9. Children's Data

The Site and Products are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact support@priansibooks.site and we will delete it.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

• HTTPS encryption across the Site
• Use of reputable, security-conscious processors (Stripe, Vercel, Resend) with their own enterprise-grade security
• Minimal data collection — we don't store what we don't need
• No storage of payment card data on our infrastructure (handled by Stripe)

No system is fully secure. If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, and we will notify affected individuals where legally required.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on the Site, with the "Last updated" date shown at the top. Material changes will be highlighted clearly.
