At Zedny Books, we believe that financial literacy starts with trust. That’s why we are committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about how we use it. This policy outlines our practices in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. The Data We Collect
When you browse Zedny Books or build your library with us, we collect:
Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, shipping address, and phone number (only when you make a purchase or subscribe).
Transaction Data: Details about the books you’ve purchased. Note: We do not store your credit card numbers. All payments are processed via encrypted, Tier-1 PCI-compliant providers (like Stripe or PayPal).
Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our site (via cookies), which helps us fix bugs and improve your experience.
2. How and Why We Use Your Data
We don’t just collect data for the sake of it. We use it to:
Fulfill your orders: To get your books from our warehouse to your door.
Keep you updated: To send order confirmations or, if you’ve opted-in, our latest book recommendations.
Legal Compliance: To meet our tax and accounting obligations in the UK.
3. Sharing with Trusted Partners
We never sell or rent your data. We only share it with essential service providers who help us run Zedny Books:
Delivery Partners: To deliver your physical books.
Payment Processors: To securely handle your transactions.
Analytics: To understand which books our community is most interested in.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures (SSL encryption) to ensure your information is safe. While no system is 100% impenetrable, we prioritize the protection of your data as if it were our own.
5. Your Rights (UK & International)
Under UK law, you have specific rights regarding your personal information:
The Right to Access: You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
The Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
The Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct any inaccurate information. To exercise these rights, simply email us at [email protected].
6. Cookies
We use cookies to keep track of what you have in your shopping basket and to remember you when you return to our site. You can disable these in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function perfectly without them.
7. Third-Party Links
Our blog often reviews books or references external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites—please check their policies if you leave our domain.
