Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how CodeConstitutions (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you interact with us online. That includes visiting our website, signing up for emails, requesting a lead magnet or free resource, completing a purchase of downloadable digital files, or contacting support.

Please read this Privacy Policy together with any checkout, cookie, or form-specific notices shown at the time information is collected.

We sell downloadable digital products (such as markdown files and related materials) and operate a marketing website. We do not provide a hosted software application where you log in to run your code or store your projects on our systems. We do not ask you to upload your application source code or databases for us to host as part of the product.

Scope

This policy applies to personal information processed in connection with:

• the CodeConstitutions website;
• checkout and payment-related steps handled through our payment partners;
• delivery of purchased digital downloads and related transactional messages;
• email subscriptions, lead magnets, waitlists, or similar sign-up flows we operate;
• customer service when you email us or use a contact form; and
• security, fraud prevention, analytics, and similar activities tied to the above.

Payment processors, email platforms, analytics tools, and other service providers may process information under their own privacy notices and terms. This policy explains our practices; it does not replace the policies of those third parties where they apply.

Information we collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with us. We group it as follows.

Information you provide directly

You may give us information such as:

• Identity and contact details — for example your name and email address when you subscribe to updates, download a lead magnet, complete a form, or write to us.
• Checkout and order details — information you enter during purchase (such as name, email, and billing-related fields required by checkout). What appears on the form may depend on our payment partner’s fields.
• Support and other messages — the contents of emails or form submissions, including attachments you choose to send and any information you volunteer in that context.
• Preferences — such as marketing opt-ins where offered, or communication preferences you set.

Information collected automatically

When you use our website, we or our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information, such as:

• IP address and approximate network location derived from IP where that feature is enabled in our tools;
• browser type, device type, operating system, and language;
• pages viewed, referring / exit pages, timestamps, and click paths;
• cookie or similar identifiers, pixels, or local storage used for functionality, analytics, fraud prevention, or security; and
• diagnostic data used to keep the site reliable and to detect abuse.

Payment and transaction information

Payment card numbers and similar payment credentials are typically collected and processed by our payment providers, not stored directly on our servers as full card data, unless we explicitly tell you otherwise in a specific checkout flow.

We usually receive limited transaction and order information such as payment status, amount paid, currency, product purchased, time of purchase, and identifiers needed to fulfil the download and our records. We may also receive name, email, and basic billing metadata as provided through checkout.

Communications and marketing information

If you join a mailing list, request a free download, or contact us, we may keep a record of that interaction, your subscription status, and related preferences (for example whether marketing emails are enabled).

Sensitive information

We do not intentionally ask for highly sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, health information, or financial account details beyond what checkout requires) for ordinary browsing or digital-download purchases.

Please do not send sensitive information by email or forms unless we have clearly asked for it in context and explained why it is needed.

How we use information

We use personal information for purposes such as:

• Operating the website — loading pages, remembering preferences where used, and maintaining performance and security.
• Delivering products — providing download links, licence or access details for digital goods, and related instructions.
• Processing orders — taking payment through partners, preventing fraud, confirming purchases, and keeping order records.
• Customer support — responding to questions, troubleshooting delivery or payment issues, and improving help content.
• Transactional messages — receipts, download delivery, password resets if applicable, and important service notices.
• Marketing — sending promotional emails where the law allows and where you have opted in or not opted out as applicable.
• Improvement — understanding how the site and offers perform, and fixing errors.
• Protection — detecting fraud, abuse, spam, or security incidents, and enforcing our terms.
• Licence enforcement and anti-fraud - verifying purchases, investigating delivery issues, chargebacks, suspected piracy, unauthorised sharing, infringement, or other misuse, and protecting our products, systems, rights, customers, and business.
• Records and compliance — keeping business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Where the law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on appropriate bases such as contract (to deliver what you bought), legitimate interests (to secure and improve the service, balanced against your rights), consent where we ask for it, or legal obligation where applicable.

Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage, scripts, or similar technologies. These may be used to:

• enable core site functionality (for example remembering cookie choices where we offer a banner);
• remember preferences you set on the site;
• measure traffic, conversions, and campaign performance;
• support fraud prevention and security monitoring; and
• diagnose technical problems.

You can control many cookies through your browser settings (including blocking or deleting cookies). If you disable certain cookies, parts of the site may not work as intended.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information in the common sense of selling customer lists for money to arbitrary buyers.

We may share information with categories of service providers who help us run CodeConstitutions, such as:

• payment processors and fraud-prevention services;
• file delivery, download hosting, or e-commerce fulfilment providers;
• email delivery and marketing platforms;
• website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• analytics and measurement tools;
• customer support or ticketing tools; and
• professional advisers (for example lawyers or accountants) when reasonably necessary.

We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that it is appropriate to:

• comply with applicable law or legal process;
• respond to lawful requests from public authorities;
• protect the rights, safety, or property of CodeConstitutions, our users, or others;
• investigate abuse or security issues; or
• support a reorganisation, merger, sale of assets, or financing, if personal information is transferred as part of that transaction subject to appropriate safeguards where required.

Where our providers process personal information on our behalf, we seek to work with reputable partners and to use contracts or settings appropriate to the relationship. Their own policies may also apply.

We may also disclose relevant order, delivery, download, device, browser, IP, and communications records where reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, chargebacks, piracy, unauthorised sharing, infringement, security incidents, or other misuse, or to protect and enforce our contractual and intellectual property rights.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including:

• completing and documenting purchases and delivering downloads;
• maintaining accounting and business records where we are required or reasonably expected to keep them;
• handling disputes, chargebacks, or enforcement of our agreements;
• investigating suspected fraud, piracy, unauthorised sharing, infringement, or security incidents;
• meeting legal or regulatory obligations that apply to us; and
• operating marketing lists until you unsubscribe or we remove inactive contacts according to our practices.

Retention periods can differ depending on the type of data and the context. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it where feasible, subject to legal holds or technical limits.

Data security

We take reasonable technical, organisational, and administrative measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Examples may include access controls, secure connections where supported, and careful selection of service providers.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to treat personal information with care appropriate to the risk.

International storage or processing

We may use service providers (for example for hosting, email, analytics, or payments) that process or store information in more than one region, depending on how those tools are configured.

By using our website and services, you understand that your information may be processed in locations where those providers operate. Where the law requires safeguards for international transfers, we aim to rely on appropriate mechanisms offered by our providers or applicable law.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may give you rights such as:

• accessing or receiving a copy of certain personal information we hold;
• correcting inaccurate information;
• requesting deletion of certain information;
• objecting to or restricting certain processing;
• data portability, where technically feasible;
• withdrawing consent where we rely on consent; and
• unsubscribing from marketing emails using the link in those messages.

To make a privacy request, contact us at support@codeconstitutions.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests, for example by confirming control of the email address used with us.

If you are not satisfied with how we handle a request, you may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in your region, where that applies.

Email marketing

If we send promotional emails, you can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by writing to support@codeconstitutions.com.

Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send transactional or service-related emails when they are necessary — for example order confirmations, download delivery, payment issues, security alerts, or responses to a support request you initiated.

Children’s privacy

CodeConstitutions is aimed at adults and older teens who purchase or use digital productivity resources. It is not directed at young children.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in a situation where parental consent or another safeguard is required under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information or otherwise address the situation as the law requires.

Third-party links and services

Our website may link to third-party sites, tools, or content (for example social platforms or documentation). Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices, and this policy does not apply once you leave our site or interact with a third party directly.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, tools, or legal requirements. When we post an updated version, it becomes effective as of the revised “Last updated” date shown at the top of this page, unless we tell you otherwise.

If a change is material, we may provide an additional notice (for example by email or a banner on the site) where appropriate.

Digital purchases and refunds

When you buy downloadable products from us, order and delivery data may be processed as described in this policy. Refund and cancellation rules are governed by our Terms and Conditions, including the section on refunds and digital products. Please read that section before you complete a purchase.

Nothing here limits non-waivable consumer or other mandatory rights that apply to you under the laws of your country or region.
