This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

We use MailerLite to manage newsletter subscriptions, maintain our subscriber list, deliver emails, and provide subscriber content.
When you subscribe, the information you submit is transferred to and processed by MailerLite on our behalf. MailerLite may also process technical and engagement information necessary to deliver emails, manage subscriptions, maintain consent records, and measure email performance.
MailerLite processes information in accordance with its own privacy and data-protection terms. You can review these through the MailerLite Privacy Policy.
Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You may withdraw your consent and stop receiving newsletters at any time by clicking that link or contacting us at support@kjraffat.com.
MailerLite’s current legal documents describe its processing and data-protection responsibilities.
Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, we process personal information on the following grounds:
Consent
We rely on your consent when you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter or agree to receive promotional emails.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before your withdrawal.
Legitimate interests
We may process information where reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests, including:
We consider the effect of this processing on your privacy before relying on legitimate interests.
Legal obligations
We may process or retain information when necessary to comply with applicable laws, legal proceedings, regulatory requirements, or lawful requests from public authorities.
The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for its operation, security, accessibility, and basic functionality.
Essential cookies may be used without consent where permitted because the website cannot function properly without them.
We will request consent where required before using nonessential cookies for purposes such as analytics, advertising, behavioural tracking, or personalised marketing.
You may be able to accept, reject, or adjust nonessential cookies through the website’s cookie banner or settings. You can also control cookies through your browser, although disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
Merely describing nonessential tracking cookies in a privacy policy does not replace the need to obtain valid consent where the law requires it.
The website includes links to third-party websites and platforms, including:
When you click a retailer link, you leave our website. Any purchase, payment, account creation, book access, or other transaction takes place directly with that third party.
We do not receive or store your complete payment-card information through retailer purchases. The third party’s own privacy policy, terms, payment practices, refund rules, and security procedures apply to your interaction with its platform.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, accuracy, or practices of third-party websites. You should review their policies before providing personal information or completing a transaction.
We may share limited personal information with service providers that help us operate the website and newsletter, including:
These providers may access personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their services or meet applicable legal obligations.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:
Some service providers may store or process personal information in countries other than the country in which you live.
Where required by applicable law, we or our service providers will rely on recognised contractual, organisational, or legal safeguards for international transfers of personal information.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Newsletter information
Newsletter information is generally retained while you remain subscribed.
If you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information necessary to:
Communications
Messages and correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.
Technical information
Website security logs and technical information may be retained for a limited period based on the practices of our hosting, security, and technical-service providers.
Information may be retained for longer where required by law, necessary for legal proceedings, or needed to protect legal rights.
We and our service providers use reasonable administrative, organisational, and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, storage service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should not use ordinary email or website forms to send passwords, payment details, medical information, identification documents, or other highly sensitive information.

After you unsubscribe, you may still receive a direct response to a message you sent or another non-promotional communication that is reasonably necessary.
The website and newsletter are not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
