Usage Data such as your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, internet browser type, time and date of your visit, pages viewed and time spent on those pages, and unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

If you’re using a mobile device, certain information may be collected automatically, including, but not limited to, your mobile device’s type, unique ID, IP address, operating system, internet browser type, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

Cookies and analytics tools are used to collect such data, with the purpose to:

  • Remember your shopping cart.
  • Track website traffic for analytics.
  • Improve site functionality.

A cookie is a small file placed on your device. Most browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies. However, disabling cookies may impact how the site works.

Your data may be used for the following purposes:

  • Send updates, if you’ve subscribed to the mailing list.
  • Fulfil your orders and manage your account.
  • Respond to your questions or messages.
  • Improve the website and user experience.

Sharing Your Data

Your data is only shared when necessary. It may be shared in the following situations:

  • MailerLite: For sending newsletters and updates (if you’ve signed up).
  • Buy Me a Coffee: For processing your support transactions.
  • WooCommerce & Printify: For order processing, product fulfillment, and shipping.
  • Payment Processors: Such as Stripe or PayPal, to securely process your payments.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and you are encouraged to review them:

Data Security

The security of your data is important, and steps are taken to protect your personal data. This includes:

  • The website using SSL encryption (HTTPS) to keep data secure.
  • Regular updates made to WordPress, plugins, and themes to patch any security vulnerabilities.
  • Sensitive payment information (e.g., credit card numbers) being handled directly by secure payment processors and not stored on the website.

While steps are actively taken to protect your data, absolute security cannot be guaranteed, as no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Data Retention

Your data will be retained for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations (for example, the requirement to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce legal agreements and policies.

Your Usage Data will also be retained for internal, analytical purposes – generally these are retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the website’s security, to improve the website’s functionality, or if there is a legal obligation to retain this data for longer time periods.

Your Rights

You may request to update, amend, or delete your data that this website may have collected. You may also request for a copy of your data. These may be dependent on your location.

If you no longer would like to receive newsletters and updates, you can unsubscribe using the unsubscribe links at the bottom of every email.

Under certain circumstances, disclosure of your data collected from this website may be required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

Your data may also be disclosed, in good faith, if such action is believed to be necessary, such as:

  • To comply with a legal obligation.
  • To protect the personal safety of Users of the website or the public.
  • To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the website.
  • To protect against legal liability and defend the rights or property of Breathing Under Pressure.
