We collect the minimum needed to sell you a book and let you read it. No ad trackers, no analytics scripts, no data brokers.
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | At checkout, or if you request access restoration | Deliver a receipt, restore access on a new device, respond to support requests |
| Payment details | At checkout | Handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store full card numbers |
| Entitlement cookie | After purchase | Proves you've paid, so paid chapters unlock in your browser |
We do not run analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking scripts of any kind on this site.
We set exactly one cookie of consequence: an entitlement token confirming your purchase, so you don't have to re-enter payment details to keep reading. It carries no personal information beyond that entitlement, and isn't shared with or read by any third party.
We don't use your email for marketing unless you separately opt in somewhere (for example, a mailing list you sign up for), and we never sell or rent your data to anyone.
Only Stripe, our payment processor, which handles your payment details under its own privacy policy. We don't share your information with any other third party.
We keep purchase records as long as needed to honor lifetime access and for basic accounting purposes. You can ask us to delete your email from our support records at any time (see below); we'll retain only what Stripe itself requires for payment records.
You can ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing hello@inkstoneonline.com. If you're in the EU/UK, this reflects your rights under GDPR; we honor the same request from anyone, regardless of location.
This site is not directed at children and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "last updated" date above.
