The short version
We collect your email address and what's needed to process payment. That's it.
We never see or store your card details — Stripe handles payment securely.
We don't sell your information to anyone, ever.
You can ask us to delete your information any time — just email us.
Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how Windy Minds (operated by 1Q Trading, based in the United Arab Emirates — "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit windyminds.online, buy the ebook, or sign up for updates. It's written to be clear rather than clever, and to reflect the main privacy rights recognised around the world — including the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Canada's PIPEDA, and similar laws elsewhere.
What we collect
| When | What we collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Buying the ebook | Your email address, and payment details handled directly by Stripe (we never see your card number) | To deliver your download link and process payment |
| Signing up for updates | Your email address | To send occasional updates, with your consent |
| Browsing the site | Standard technical data (like your general region and browser type), collected by our hosting provider, Cloudflare | To keep the site running securely |
We don't currently use analytics or advertising trackers of any kind. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy and this page's date above.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted service providers to run Windy Minds. We don't sell your data to anyone — these providers only process it on our behalf, to do the job described:
- Stripe — processes your payment securely. Stripe has its own privacy policy covering payment data.
- Resend — delivers your download link and any update emails you've signed up for.
- Cloudflare — hosts the website and stores the ebook files securely.
These providers are based in different countries (including the United States), which means your information may be processed outside your own country. Each of them maintains its own safeguards for handling data responsibly across borders.
How long we keep your information
We keep purchase records for as long as needed for accounting and legal purposes (typically a few years). If you've signed up for updates, we keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it — whichever comes first.
Your rights
Wherever you're located, you generally have the right to:
- Ask what information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct anything inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your information
- Ask us to limit how we use it
- Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
- Withdraw consent for emails at any time (every email has an unsubscribe link)
To use any of these rights, just email books@windyminds.online — we'll get back to you personally.
Children's privacy
Windy Minds is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we make meaningful changes to how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top. We won't make changes that reduce your rights without clearly telling you first.
