[Legal business name, e.g. “YTS-Editions” or your registered company name] (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website yts-editions.com (the “Site”), through which we sell digital e-books and related products. We are the data controller responsible for your personal information in connection with the Site, as described in this Privacy Policy.
We are based in Frnce. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our processing of your personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent UK/Swiss law. If you are located in California or elsewhere in the United States, additional notices in Section 12 may apply to you.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy covers personal information collected through the Site itself — browsing activity, cookies, contact forms, and newsletter sign-ups. It does not cover the checkout process, which takes place entirely on Gumroad’s platform once you click through to purchase a product. Gumroad, Inc. is a separate, independent data controller for the payment and order information it collects, and its own privacy policy governs that data. Section 4 explains this relationship in more detail.
3. Information we collect
3.1 Information you provide directly
Newsletter sign-up: if you subscribe to updates, we (or our email service provider, [e.g. Mailchimp / ConvertKit / Beehiiv — name your provider]) collect your email address and, optionally, your name.
Contact forms or email: if you contact us directly, we collect whatever information you include — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.
Comments (if enabled on the Site): your name, email address, and any content you post.
3.2 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the Site automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including:
IP address and approximate geographic location
Browser type, device type, and operating system
Pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and referring/exit pages
Date and time of your visit
This information is typically collected via cookies and similar technologies, described further in Section 5, and may be gathered through tools such as [e.g. Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom — name your analytics tool, or remove this line if you don’t use one].
3.3 Information we do not collect directly
We do not collect or store your payment card details, billing address, or full purchase history on our own servers — that information is collected and processed by Gumroad as part of checkout. See Section 4.
4. How Gumroad is involved
All product purchases on this Site are processed through Gumroad, a third-party e-commerce and payment platform. When you click “buy” on a product, you are taken to a Gumroad-hosted checkout page (or Gumroad’s checkout is embedded in our page), and from that point, Gumroad collects and processes your information directly, including:
Your name and email address
Payment card or payment method details
Billing address (where applicable)
Purchase and download history for products bought through Gumroad
Gumroad acts as an independent data controller (or, depending on the specific data, a processor acting on our behalf) for this information, and its own privacy policy — available at gumroad.com/privacy — governs how it handles your data. We encourage you to review it. We may receive limited order information back from Gumroad (such as your email address and which product you purchased) in order to provide customer support, respond to refund requests, or send order-related communications.
We do not have access to your full payment card details at any point.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We (and third-party tools we use) may use the following categories:
Category
Purpose
Can you opt out?
Strictly necessary
Core site functionality (e.g., remembering cookie preferences, security)
No — required for the Site to function
Analytics
Understanding how visitors use the Site, so we can improve it
Yes, via cookie banner or browser settings
Third-party (Gumroad)
Set by Gumroad’s checkout and embedded product widgets
Governed by Gumroad’s own cookie policy
[If you use a cookie consent banner plugin, e.g. CookieYes, Complianz, or similar, describe it here — e.g. “We use [Plugin Name] to let you accept or decline non-essential cookies on your first visit.”]
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking essential cookies may affect how the Site functions.
6. How we use your information
To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
To respond to inquiries, comments, or support requests
To send newsletters or product updates, where you have opted in — you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email
To understand aggregate usage patterns and improve content and site performance
To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse
To comply with legal obligations
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
7. Our legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR, depending on the activity:
Consent — for optional cookies and newsletter sign-ups, which you can withdraw at any time.
Legitimate interests — for basic site analytics and security, where this does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Contract — where processing is necessary to respond to a request you’ve made (for example, replying to a support inquiry).
Legal obligation — where we are required to retain or disclose information to comply with the law.
8. Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
Gumroad — for order processing and fulfillment (Section 4)
Service providers we use to run the Site, such as our web hosting provider ([e.g. WP Engine, SiteGround, name your host]), email service provider, and analytics provider, each acting under their own privacy and security obligations
Legal and safety purposes — where required to comply with a legal obligation, enforce our terms, or protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others
A future buyer — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections
9. International data transfers
Because we use third-party service providers (including Gumroad, which is based in the United States), your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your home country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of the specific third parties involved (see Section 4 for Gumroad).
10. How long we keep information
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
Newsletter and contact information is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Analytics data is typically retained in aggregate or pseudonymized form and is periodically deleted according to our analytics provider’s default retention settings.
Order and payment information is retained by Gumroad according to its own retention policy and applicable financial recordkeeping laws.
11. Your privacy rights
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:
Access the personal data we hold about you
Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”), subject to certain exceptions
Restrict or object to certain processing
Data portability — receive your data in a portable format
Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority
To exercise any of these rights regarding data held by us directly, contact us using the details in Section 17. For data held by Gumroad (such as payment or order records), please contact Gumroad directly or use their support channels, since we do not have direct access to modify that data on your behalf.
12. Additional notice for California residents
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us using the details in Section 17.
13. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
14. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we hold, including relying on reputable third-party providers (such as our hosting provider and Gumroad) who maintain their own security standards. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
15. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to this signal, and our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals in a specific way.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Embedded content from other websites
Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
