Legal
Privacy policy.
Short version: I collect the minimum, I don't sell anything, and you can have it deleted whenever you want.
What I collect
If you send a message through the contact form, I receive your name, email, subject, and message. If you subscribe to the newsletter, Substack holds your email. If you buy the system, Payhip processes the order and I see the purchase record. That's it.
What I don't collect
No card details ever touch this site — Payhip handles payment. There are no advertising trackers and no data is sold or rented to anyone.
Processors I use
Formspree (contact form delivery), Substack (newsletter), Payhip (payments and product delivery), and Amazon Associates (affiliate links on the Books page). Each has its own privacy policy governing the data it holds.
How long it's kept
Contact emails stay in my inbox until they're no longer useful. Newsletter subscriptions last until you unsubscribe — every email has a one-click link.
Your rights
Email patrick@buytheclose.com to request a copy of anything I hold about you, or to have it deleted. I'll action it.
