Privacy Policy

Josiah's Art ("we," "us," or "our") operates Josiah's Art, a digital platform for purchasing and reading books and videos. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using Josiah's Art, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

• Name and email address, when you create an account
• Password (stored securely, encrypted - we never see it in plain text)
• Profile image, if you sign in with Google
• Messages you send us through our Contact form

Information collected automatically

• Purchase history and order details
• Reading progress, bookmarks, and library contents
• Device and browser information, for security and troubleshooting

Information from third parties

• If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile picture from Google, as permitted by your Google account settings.
• Payment confirmation details from our payment processor (we do not receive or store your full card number).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Process purchases and deliver the books and videos you buy
• Save your reading progress and preferences across devices
• Respond to support requests and contact form submissions
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access
• Improve our platform based on how it's used

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. How We Store & Protect Your Data

• Account data is stored on a secure, encrypted cloud database.
• Passwords are hashed using industry-standard encryption - we cannot see or recover your actual password.
• Payment processing is handled entirely by a PCI-DSS compliant payment provider. Your card details never pass through our servers.
• Book covers, PDFs, and media files are stored with access controls that verify you've purchased content before it's delivered.

4. Third-Party Infrastructure

We rely on trusted, industry-standard infrastructure providers to operate Josiah's Art - for secure payment processing, database hosting, media storage and delivery, optional sign-in authentication, and website hosting. Each provider maintains its own security and privacy standards, and we select partners with strong track records for protecting user data.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with these providers for marketing purposes - they only receive the minimum data necessary to perform their specific function (e.g. a payment processor only receives what's needed to complete your transaction).

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your cart between visits. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

6. Your Rights & Choices

• You can update your account information at any time by contacting support.
• You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• You can request deletion of your account and associated data, subject to our obligation to retain order records for legal and accounting purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page.

7. Children's Privacy

Josiah's Art is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Josiah's Art after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
