At Mr. Alfred Literary, we are dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is handled safely and responsibly. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website and purchase books or eBooks from our collection.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you provide to us directly when interacting with the bookstore:
- Account & Profile Details: First and last name, email address, password, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and profile settings.
- Transaction Details: Data related to payments (such as transaction confirmation identifiers, purchased titles, formats selected, and shipping costs). Financial transactions are secure and processed directly via accredited gateways (Stripe & PayPal). We never host or store your raw card details on our local servers.
- Interaction Details: Newsletter preferences, reviews left on bookstore listings, and contact queries submitted via our messaging forms.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your details help us ensure a frictionless bookstore experience, specifically used to:
- Fulfill your hardcover orders, calculate correct shipping costs, and deliver immediate digital eBook files.
- Communicate with you for order updates, international shipping location verifications, or customer service.
- Distribute newsletters, literature updates, and promo codes (which you can opt-out of at any time).
- Validate and display customer reviews on book previews.
3. Data Protection & Security
We employ robust, industry-standard administrative security measures to protect your database documents. Security tokens and environment settings are kept strictly isolated and inaccessible to client-side browsers. All customer orders, registrations, and settings utilize role-based access rules preventing unauthorized reading or modifications.
4. Third-Party Services
To deliver our bookstore service, we integrate secure third-party components:
- Firebase Services: For secure user logins, Firestore document databases, and web servers.
- PayPal & Stripe SDKs: For 256-bit encrypted checkout capturing. Transactions are governed under their respective security policies.
5. Your Rights
You can view, edit, or remove your personal details and saved shipping addresses at any time directly through your account dashboard. For additional inquiries or data deletion requests, contact us at info@imageamerica.com.
