2. Hosting and technical logs
This website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. (Cloudflare Pages). When you visit the site, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, date and time, requested page, browser and device information to deliver the site securely and protect it against abuse. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (secure and reliable operation of the website). Cloudflare may process data in the USA; Cloudflare participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

3. No tracking
We do not use analytics, advertising cookies or tracking pixels on this website.
4. Purchases via Digistore24
When you buy the book directly, the order is processed by Digistore24 GmbH as reseller (seller of record), which handles payment, VAT, invoices and refunds. Digistore24 is responsible for the data it processes during checkout; see its privacy policy on the order form. Digistore24 passes us the order data we need to deliver your book and to provide support (name, email address, order number, product, date). Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the contract). Order data is kept as required by statutory retention obligations (e.g. commercial and tax law, generally up to 10 years).
5. Personalised copies and gifts
Every direct purchase is prepared as a personal copy. For this we process the reader's name and, for gifts, the recipient's name, an optional dedication text, the name of the giver and, if provided, the recipient's email address. We use this data only to create and deliver the personalised files. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The dedication text and the recipient's email address are deleted 30 days after delivery; the reader's name remains in the delivered files. If you give a recipient's email address, please make sure they would welcome the gift.
6. Email delivery
Delivery emails are sent via Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France) as our processor under a data processing agreement.
7. Newsletter
If you tick the newsletter box or subscribe on our website, we send you the Timeless Wisdom Letter via Brevo after you confirm your subscription (double opt-in). Legal basis: your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
As a customer, we may also send you information about our own similar products (for example new books in the series) to the email address you gave at purchase, as permitted by Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG). You can object at any time, free of charge, using the link in every email or by writing to us; we will then stop. Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
8. Amazon
Links to Amazon take you to Amazon's website. If you buy there, Amazon is responsible for your data.
9. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and to object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example in Hamburg: Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit.
10. Changes
We may update this policy when our services change. The current version is always available on this page.
