PRIVACY POLICY

1. Information We Collect

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and fulfill your purchase and deliver your digital download
• Send your receipt and order confirmation
• Respond to your customer support inquiries
• Send you promotional emails and product updates (only if you opt in — you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Improve the Site's performance and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations
• Detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized activity

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data to make automated decisions that have a legal or significant effect on you.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Site and fulfill orders, including:

• Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, Shopify Payments) — to process transactions securely
• Email service providers — to deliver your download link and any marketing emails
• Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) — to understand how visitors use the Site
• Hosting and infrastructure providers — to maintain Site functionality
• Advertising platforms (e.g., Meta/Facebook, Google) — to measure ad performance and deliver relevant advertising

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, our use of advertising and analytics technologies may constitute "sharing" or a "sale" of personal information under certain state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act. See Section 7 for your rights regarding this. We do not use your data to make automated decisions that have a legal or significant effect on you.

All third-party providers are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. We do not authorize them to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

We may also disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Linger or others.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including:

• Order records: retained for 7 years for tax and accounting purposes
• Customer support correspondence: retained for 2 years
• Marketing opt-in records: retained until you unsubscribe

You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 8 — Your Rights).

5. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Payment information is encrypted and processed through PCI-compliant payment processors.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and you use the Site at your own risk.

6. Cookies

Our Site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to:

• Remember your preferences and session
• Analyze Site traffic and usage patterns
• Enable third-party tools such as analytics and advertising

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality.

We may use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Site to function (checkout, security)
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., Google Analytics)
• Marketing cookies: Used for retargeting ads on platforms like Meta/TikTok (only if you have not opted out)

7. Advertising and Analytics

We work with advertising platforms, including Meta (Facebook and Instagram), to measure the performance of our advertising and to show you relevant ads.

To do this, we may share certain information with these platforms, including:

• Pages you viewed and actions you took on our Site, such as adding an item to your cart or completing a purchase
• Hashed identifiers such as your email address, used to match your activity to your account on those platforms
• Order details, including purchase value and items purchased

This information is shared in two ways: through tracking technologies in your browser, such as the Meta Pixel, and through direct server-to-server transmission from our systems to the advertising platform. Server-to-server sharing occurs independently of your browser cookie settings.

You can limit how this data is used by adjusting your settings on those platforms, such as Meta's Off-Facebook Activity controls, or by contacting us at hello@meetlinger.com to opt out.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Opt-out of marketing: Unsubscribe from our email list at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email
• California residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what data we collect, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. To opt out, contact us at hello@meetlinger.com.
• EU/UK residents (GDPR): You have the right to data portability, restriction of processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at: hello@meetlinger.com. We will respond within 30 days.
