Plain-language summary: We use personal information to operate the website, process purchases, deliver course access, provide customer support, improve our services, and meet legal obligations. We do not ask you to send full payment-card details by email.
1. Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the website gourmetpopcorn.blog, the Gourmet Round Popcorn digital course, and related customer-support communications.
In this policy, “Gourmet Round Popcorn,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of this website and course.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Contact information: such as your name and email address.
- Purchase information: such as the product purchased, order status, transaction reference, and payment confirmation supplied by our checkout provider.
- Support communications: information included when you contact us, request assistance, or submit a privacy request.
- Course-related information: information needed to create or manage access to digital content.
Information collected automatically
- IP address, browser type, device type, language, operating system, and approximate location derived from IP.
- Pages viewed, referral source, date and time of access, clicks, and general website interaction data.
- Cookie identifiers and similar technical information, where these technologies are enabled.
Payment information
Payments may be handled by an independent checkout or payment provider. We generally receive confirmation and transaction details, but not your complete card number or security code. The provider's own privacy policy also applies to information it processes.
3. How we use information
We may use personal information to:
- process and confirm purchases;
- deliver course access and transaction-related messages;
- respond to questions, requests, and customer-support messages;
- operate, maintain, protect, and improve the website and course;
- understand site performance and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
- send promotional messages where permitted and provide an unsubscribe option;
- comply with tax, accounting, consumer-protection, and other legal obligations; and
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
4. Legal bases for processing
Depending on your location and the activity involved, we may process information because:
- it is necessary to perform a contract with you, including delivering a purchased course;
- you gave consent, which you may withdraw where applicable;
- we have a legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving our services, provided that interest is not overridden by your rights; or
- processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
7. Marketing communications
We may send promotional emails where permitted by law. You can stop promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us.
Even after opting out of marketing, you may still receive non-promotional messages related to purchases, course access, security, support, or legal notices.
8. Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including delivering the course, maintaining transaction records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, tax, and accounting requirements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal obligations.
9. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Do not send passwords, complete payment-card numbers, or sensitive identification documents through ordinary email unless we specifically provide a secure method and the information is necessary.
10. International data transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. When required, we use appropriate measures intended to protect personal information during international transfers.
11. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request:
- confirmation that we process your personal information;
- access to or a copy of your personal information;
- correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- deletion, anonymization, or restriction of certain processing;
- data portability, where applicable;
- information about categories of recipients or sharing;
- withdrawal of consent, where processing relies on consent;
- objection to certain processing, including some direct marketing; and
- review of certain automated decisions, where applicable.
These rights are subject to legal exceptions. For example, we may need to keep certain records to comply with tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, or other legal requirements.
To submit a request, email us using the address in the “Contact us” section. We may need to verify your identity before completing the request.
12. Children's privacy
This website and course are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where parental or guardian consent is legally required. If you believe a child provided information improperly, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
13. Third-party links and services
The website may link to third-party websites, payment pages, platforms, or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal obligations. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
