At Ebooks Mart (ebooksmart.shop), we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information in accordance with global data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) in the US, and other applicable regulations as of 2025. By using our Site, you consent to these practices.
1. Information We Collect
- Personal Data: When you create an account, make a purchase, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, billing information, and payment details (processed securely via third-party providers like Stripe or PayPal).
- Usage Data: Automatically collected via cookies and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and device information.
- Other Data: Feedback, reviews, or information submitted through forms.
We do not collect sensitive data (e.g., racial or health information) unless voluntarily provided.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To process orders, deliver ebooks, and manage your account.
- To send transactional emails (e.g., order confirmations) and, with consent, marketing newsletters.
- To improve the Site, analyze trends, and prevent fraud.
- To comply with legal obligations, such as tax reporting.
Under GDPR, our legal basis includes contract performance (for purchases), consent (for marketing), and legitimate interests (for analytics).
3. Sharing Your Information
We share data only as necessary:
- With service providers (e.g., payment processors, hosting services) bound by confidentiality.
- With legal authorities if required by law or to protect our rights.
- In the event of a business transfer (e.g., merger).
We do not sell your personal data. For CCPA/CPRA compliance, you have the right to opt-out of any future sales (though none occur).
4. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures like encryption (SSL) and firewalls to protect your data. However, no system is infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Your Rights
- Access and Correction: Request a copy of your data or update it.
- Deletion: Ask us to delete your data (subject to legal retention requirements).
- Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing or object to processing.
- GDPR Rights: If in the EU, rights include portability and restriction.
- CCPA/CPRA Rights: California residents can request disclosure, deletion, and opt-out of sales.
To exercise rights, contact us at ebooksmart.shop@gmail.com or via our form. We respond within 30 days (extendable under law).
6. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies for functionality and analytics. You can manage preferences via browser settings or our cookie consent banner (compliant with ePrivacy Directive). Third-party tools may track for ads; opt-out via their policies.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from minors; if discovered, we delete it.
8. International Transfers
Data may be processed outside your jurisdiction (e.g., US servers). We ensure adequate safeguards, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
