Global Store publishes re-typeset editions of public-domain classical texts. This policy explains what we collect when you buy from us, why we collect it, and what you can ask us to do about it.

What we collect

• Order details — the name, email address and billing details you enter at checkout, and which files you ordered.
• Account details — if you create an account, your username, order history and download history.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type and pages visited, used for fraud prevention and to keep the shop running.
• Cookies — a session cookie for your cart and login, and a currency preference cookie. We run no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

What we do not collect

We never see or store your card number. Payments are handled entirely by PayPal or Stripe on their own secure pages; they return only a confirmation and the last four digits to us.

Why we process it

To take payment and deliver your files, to answer support requests, to keep records required by tax and accounting law, and to prevent fraudulent orders. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who we share it with

Only the services needed to run the shop: the payment processor (PayPal or Stripe), our web host, the content delivery network that serves the download files, and the email service that sends order receipts. Each receives only what its function requires.

How long we keep it

Order records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require, then deleted. Account data is kept while your account is open. Download logs are kept for twelve months to prevent abuse of download links.

Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, California or another jurisdiction with comparable law, you may ask to see, correct, export or delete your personal data, or object to certain processing. Write to the address on our contact page with your order number and we will respond within thirty days. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

The shop is not intended for children under sixteen, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes with it, and customers with accounts are notified by email.
