What we collect, and why.

Who is responsible for your data

Alwyn Dsouza, of London, is the data controller for the information described here. You can reach us at help@alwayscared.store.

What we collect

Buying the guide requires two things from you, and we ask for nothing else:

• ·Your email address — so we can send you the download link.
• ·Your payment details — entered directly into our payment provider, never into this site.

We also store a record of your order: the amount, the currency, the payment reference, and whether the guide has been delivered. We do not ask for your name, address, phone number or date of birth, and there is nowhere on this site to give them to us.

What we never see

Card numbers, CVV codes, UPI PINs and bank credentials are entered inside the payment provider’s own hosted form. They do not pass through our servers and we could not store them if we wanted to. We receive only a payment reference and whether the payment succeeded.

Who processes your data

We use a small number of third-party services to run the shop. Each receives only what it needs to do its job:

• ·Stripe — takes payment for customers outside India.
• ·Razorpay — takes payment for customers in India.
• ·Supabase — stores the order record and hosts the guide file.
• ·Resend — sends the email containing your download link.
• ·Vercel — hosts the site, processes server logs, counts page views, and measures how quickly pages load.
• ·Whop — measures which adverts and links bring people to the shop.
• ·Meta (Facebook) — measures which adverts bring people to the shop, and which visits end in a purchase.
• ·TikTok — measures which TikTok adverts bring people to the shop and which visits end in a purchase.

These providers operate in several countries, so your data may be processed outside the country you live in. Each publishes its own privacy notice and its own safeguards for international transfers.

How your location is used

Our host tells us which country your connection appears to come from. We use it for one purpose: deciding whether to show you the price in rupees or dollars, and which payment provider to send you to. We do not store your IP address alongside your order, and we do not use it to build a profile of you.

How long we keep it

Order records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require us to keep proof of a sale, which is typically several years. Your email address stays attached to that order so we can re-send your download if you lose it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of your data, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, or to object to how we use it. Email help@alwayscared.store and we will respond within 2 working days.

Deleting your data means we can no longer verify your purchase or re-send your download, so download the guide and keep it somewhere safe before asking us to erase your record.

Marketing

We send you one email: the one containing your guide. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not sell, rent or share your email address with anyone.

Cookies and tracking

If you arrive through a link shared by someone who recommends the guide, we store their reference code in a cookie on your device for 30 days. It records nothing about you — only which link you came through, so the right person is credited if you buy.

We also run three advertising pixels on every page: Whop, which loads from t.whop.tw; the Meta (Facebook) pixel, which loads from connect.facebook.net; and the TikTok pixel, which loads from analytics.tiktok.com. All three record that a page was viewed, and the Meta pixel additionally records when a purchase is completed, along with its value and currency. All three are third parties with their own privacy notices, and each may set its own cookies or similar identifiers.

When you enter your email at checkout, and again when your purchase completes, we send TikTok a scrambled version of that address (a one-way SHA-256 hash, created in your browser). TikTok uses it only to match the purchase to an advert you may have seen. The address itself is never sent to TikTok, and the scrambled version cannot be turned back into it.

Our payment providers set their own cookies inside their payment forms, which they use to detect fraud and keep the payment session working.

Complaints

If you think we have handled your data badly, tell us first at help@alwayscared.store. You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country.
