Privacy and cookies
Last updated 8 October 2026
We collect as little as we can. This page explains what we keep, why, and what you can ask of us.
Who is responsible
When you make your story
Your story is made in your own browser. The names and years you type in are kept in the page link (the part after the #), so you can share it. They are not sent to us. To show the free preview pages of the book, our server only receives the earliest birth year, without any names.
When you buy
- What: your email, the names and years in your book, your dedication text if you add one, what you bought, the price, the time of the order, your consent to start the download right away, and the payment reference from Stripe.
- Why: to deliver your order, send your receipt, help you if you lose your book link, and keep the records that accounting and tax law ask for.
- Legal basis: the contract with you (GDPR article 6(1)(b)) and our legal duties (article 6(1)(c)).
- How long: as long as accounting and tax law require, usually up to 10 years, then we delete it.
Payments
Stripe handles all payments. Your card or wallet details go straight to Stripe and never reach us. Stripe also checks payments for fraud. Stripe is responsible for this under its own privacy policy, and may handle data outside the EU with the safeguards the GDPR requires.
Our server
This website runs on a rented server (Hostinger), which processes data for us under a data processing agreement. Like every website, the server notes technical details such as your IP address and the pages asked for, to keep it secure (our legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f)). These logs are kept only for a short time.
Cookies and your browser's storage
- We use no tracking, no analytics and no advertising cookies, so there is nothing to accept.
- Your browser remembers what you bought for your book (local storage), so the book stays unlocked and you do not pay twice. It stays on your device. You can delete it any time by clearing this site's data.
- When you open the checkout, Stripe sets its own cookies that are needed to take the payment safely and prevent fraud.
Who else sees your data
Only Stripe and our hosting provider, as described above. We never sell your data or use it for advertising. We only email you about your order.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the data we have about you, to correct it, to delete it (unless the law makes us keep it), to limit how we use it, to object, or to give it to you in a common format. Just write to the email above. You can also complain to the data protection authority in your country.
