Information I Collect

I collect the following personal data to provide, improve, and personalize my services:

  1. Email Address: To communicate with you and provide relevant updates, newsletters, and product-related information.
  2. Consent Flags: Information about whether you have explicitly consented to receive marketing communications, which I store as part of your subscription preferences.
  3. Name (optional): I don’t explicitly collect your name, but it may become available to me if you update your preferences through Kit (my newsletter provider) or if you purchased a product on Gumroad using PayPal.

Data Collected by Payment Processors

When you make a purchase, the payment processors I use (e.g., Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy) may collect additional information, such as:

I do not have access to your payment card details or full billing address. Refer to the privacy policies of these payment processors for more information. Processors may share your approximate location (city and zip code), which I do not use in any way.

How I Collect Your Data

I collect personal data through the following means:

  1. Newsletter Subscriptions: When you subscribe via forms on my website. All subscriptions are explicit and require you to fill out the form to give consent.
  2. Gumroad Followers List: When you subscribe to my followers list on Gumroad, this is considered implied consent for receiving marketing communications. There is no checkbox or mechanism for collecting explicit consent on Gumroad at this time.
  3. Purchases:
    • Gumroad: When you make a purchase via Gumroad, your email address is collected for transactional communications related to your purchase. Additionally, your email is automatically added to my email list managed through Kit.com. After purchase you will be asked to provide explicit consent if you wish to receive marketing communications (newsletter). Without your explicit consent your email address will be used solely for service-related purposes.
    • Lemon Squeezy: When you make a purchase via Lemon Squeezy, your email address is collected solely for service-related communications.
  4. Direct Contact: When you contact me directly via email or contact forms.

Purpose of Data Collection

  1. Service Communications: To inform you about updates to the products or services you have purchased, fulfil your purchase (e.g., sending receipts or invoices via payment processors), and provide product-related updates. This is considered part of fulfilling my service to you and does not require additional consent.
  2. Marketing Communications (With Consent): To send you newsletters, product announcements, discounts, and other promotional content. This applies only if you have explicitly subscribed or given implied consent (e.g., through the Gumroad followers list).
  3. Legal Compliance: To fulfil legal obligations, such as tax and accounting requirements. Note: This applies only to customers who purchased from me on Gumroad using PayPal as the payment method.

CCPA/CPRA Privacy Notice (For California Residents)

If you are a California resident, you are entitled to certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

To exercise these rights, please contact me. I will verify your identity before processing your request to ensure that only the rightful owner of the personal information can exercise these rights. This may include confirming your email address or verifying details of a past transaction. I will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Data Retention and Unsubscribing

  1. Unsubscribing from Marketing Communications: When you unsubscribe from marketing emails, your data is not deleted. Instead, you are marked as unsubscribed, and your data is retained as legal proof of your prior consent. Once unsubscribed, your data is no longer processed for any purpose, and you will not receive any further communications, including service or transactional emails. Important: If you wish to continue receiving product-related updates (e.g., service-related emails), do not unsubscribe entirely. Instead, update your consent preferences by removing marketing consent and retaining service-related consent.
  2. Retention of Data for Legal Purposes: I retain data related to transactions as required by applicable laws, even after unsubscribing or deleting marketing consent.

Legal Basis for Service Emails

When you purchase a product, you automatically consent to receive service-related emails as part of fulfilling my service to you. These emails include:

If you want to receive marketing emails, such as offers, discounts, and other promotional materials, you must provide separate consent by subscribing via a dedicated online form or implied consent through Gumroad followers.
