Website Name: Handwritium
Data Controller: Resteer John L. Lumbab
Resteer John L. Lumbab (“I”, “Me”, “My”, “Data Controller”) operates Handwritium (the “Website”, the “Service”).
This page informs you of my policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information when you use my Service. I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information Collection and Use
My website is free to browse. You can visit, check products, and read content without spending a dime. However, some pages and features are restricted; to access them, you may need to create an account.
When you simply visit my website, just hop in. Within a few seconds, my website collects some data (Log Data), but this is not close to personally identifying you.
What Personal Information Do I Collect?
The Personally Identifiable Information (PII) I collect is not harvested automatically. You must provide it manually when requested. This includes:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email Address
- Country / Billing Address
2. How Do I Collect Your Personal Information?
I collect information through the following methods:
A. Contact Form When you contact me, you fill out a form to send a message. You provide your name, email, and message content. This allows me to receive your inquiry and reply to you.
B. Newsletter When you sign up for my email newsletter, you provide your email address voluntarily so I can send you updates.
C. Account Creation Creating an account is not mandatory, but it is required to buy products or access specific features. To create an account, you only need to provide your email. You will receive a notification to set up a password. Your username is automatically generated.
D. Billing Details If you decide to buy a product, you must proceed to checkout. To process the order, you need to fill out a billing details form (First Name, Last Name, Country/Address, Email).
E. Direct Email If you find my email address in the footer and contact me directly (bypassing the contact form), I will see your email address and message content.
3. How Do I Use Your Information?
I use your Personal Information solely to provide the Service. Specifically:
- To manage your account and login credentials.
- To process transactions and deliver digital products.
- To respond to your inquiries or support requests.
- To send newsletters (only if you subscribed).
Legal Basis for Processing:
- Contractual Necessity: Processing your data is necessary to fulfill your order or maintain your account.
- Consent: You have given me permission to send you newsletters or respond to your messages.
4. Data Storage and Retention
How My Website Stores Data My website does not act automatically to create forms or message you without your input. When you create an account, the login details and personal information you provide are stored in my website’s secure databases.
When you sign in, the website reads the database to match your credentials. If you update your information, the database updates immediately to keep your account accurate.
Data Retention I retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
- Account Data: Retained as long as your account is active.
- Billing Data: Retained as required by tax and accounting laws (usually 5–10 years depending on your jurisdiction).
- Marketing Data: Retained until you unsubscribe.
5. Log Data and Analytics
We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Service (“Log Data”). This may include your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics.
Third-Party Services I use the following third-party services which may process data:
- Google Analytics: To see how people find my site and how they use it, so I can compete with competitors.
- Jetpack & Wordfence Security: To protect the site from attacks and monitor uptime.
- Payment Processors: I do not store your credit card details; these are processed securely by the payment provider.
Your Privacy Choices If you do not like this collection of information, you have the freedom to use privacy-focused browsers like Brave, Librewolf, or Mullvad. You can combine these with extensions like Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin. If you want to hide your real IP Address, you may use a VPN or the TOR Browser.
I will not serve pop-up ads that make the website unusable. Any advertising on my website will be in written text form only, with no invasive embedded code.
6. Cookies
Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
I use “cookies” to collect information (like keeping you logged in). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of my Service (like the shopping cart).
7. Your Data Protection Rights
Under the GDPR, CCPA, and the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the following rights:
- The Right to Access: You can ask for copies of your personal data.
- The Right to Rectification: You can request that I correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
- The Right to Erasure: You can request that I delete your personal data (“Right to be Forgotten”), subject to legal retention requirements (like tax laws).
- The Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask me to limit how I use your data.
- The Right to Object: You can object to my processing of your data (e.g., for marketing).
To exercise these rights, please contact me via the email provided on this website.
8. Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to me, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.
While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, I cannot guarantee its absolute security. As mentioned in the Log Data section, you are encouraged to use privacy tools (VPNs, secure browsers) to protect yourself further.
9. Children’s Privacy
My website does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).
I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided me with Personal Information, please contact me. If I discover that a child under 18 has provided me with Personal Information, I will immediately delete such information from my servers.
10. Links To Other Sites
This website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by me. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
11. Changes To This Privacy Policy
I may update my Privacy Policy from time to time. I will not notify you of any changes directly; it is recommended to check this page regularly. Changes are effective immediately when they are posted on this page.
