Data Controller: Alphabet Guides (trading name)
Email: [email protected]1. Introduction
This privacy policy explains how Alphabet Guides ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you provide your email address through our website or third-party platforms. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws. For any questions about this policy, to exercise your rights or to make a complaint, please contact [email protected].2. What Information We Collect
We collect only the following personal information:
Email address — provided voluntarily when you subscribe to our mailing list via our website forms or transferred from third-party platforms
Support correspondence — emails and messages you send us when requesting customer supportWe do not collect any other personal data, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, or browsing behaviour. We may also receive your email address from third-party platforms (for example, Gumroad) if you choose to download or purchase Digital Content via those platforms. When you provide your email on a third-party site, that third party may act as an independent controller for the processing it carries out on its platform.3. How We Use Your Information
We use your email address for the following purposes:
Marketing communications: Sending automated email sequences, promotional content, and newsletters where you have given explicit consent

Access management: Managing access to purchased or downloaded content and maintaining suppression lists to respect unsubscribe requests4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK/EU Users)
We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR / EU GDPR:
Marketing communications: Consent. We will only send marketing emails to UK/EU individuals where explicit, informed consent has been given (we use a non-pre-ticked checkbox and double opt-in). PECR requires prior opt-in for most electronic marketing.
Delivery of requested Digital Content/previews: Contract (where delivery forms part of a purchase) or Consent (for free previews requested via a third-party platform). We will make the lawful basis clear at the point of collection.
Customer support and access management: Legitimate interests. We process email addresses to operate and administer our Service, respond to enquiries, and protect our rights.We record consent (timestamp, IP address, the specific wording agreed and the confirmation method) so we can demonstrate compliance. Where appropriate (limited circumstances involving existing customer relationships), a "soft opt-in" may apply, but we primarily rely on explicit opt-in for marketing.5.
