Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Ayurveda Origin, the operator of ayurvedaorigin.com (the "Site", "we", "us"), collects, uses and protects your personal data when you read the Site, buy a digital product from us, or join one of our email lists.

1. Data we collect

• Purchase data: your name, email address, country and the order details, passed to us by our payment provider when you buy a product. We never see or store your card number; payment details are handled entirely by the payment provider.
• Email list data: if you subscribe to our emails, we store your email address, the date you joined and which form or product you joined through.
• Support correspondence: the emails you send us and our replies.
• Site analytics: standard aggregated usage data such as pages visited, approximate location, device type and referrer, collected by Google Analytics. This is not linked to your purchase or email data.

We do not collect health information. The Site and our products are educational and do not ask you for symptoms, diagnoses or medical history.

2. How we use your data

• To deliver the product you bought and send the receipt and download link.
• To send the emails you subscribed to. Every marketing email carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.
• To answer support, refund and data requests.
• To understand, in aggregate, which pages are read so we can improve the Site.
• To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with advertisers.

3. Third parties who process your data

• Dodo Payments: processes payments, calculates tax, issues invoices and handles refunds and chargebacks as the merchant of record. Their privacy policy applies to the payment transaction.
• Resend: sends our transactional and marketing email on our behalf and stores the addresses on our email lists.
• Cloudflare: hosts the Site and provides DNS and security.
• Google Analytics: provides aggregate site analytics. You can opt out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Amazon Associates: when you click an affiliate link on the Site, Amazon collects data under its own privacy policy. See our Editorial Policy for how affiliate links are used.

4. Where your data is stored

Purchase data is held by the payment provider and in our records. Email list data is stored on Resend's infrastructure in the United States. Analytics data is processed by Google, primarily in the United States. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, these transfers rely on the providers' standard contractual clauses.

5. How long we keep your data

• Purchase records: 7 years, for tax and accounting compliance.
• Email list data: until you unsubscribe, after which the address is kept only on a suppression list so we do not email you again.
• Support correspondence: 2 years after the last message.
• Analytics data: per Google Analytics' standard retention, typically 14 months.

6. Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Delete your data, subject to our legal duty to keep purchase records.
• Export your data in a portable format.
• Object to a specific use, or withdraw consent where consent was the basis, such as a newsletter subscription.

Email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days. If you are in the EEA or UK you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Cookies

The Site sets no cookies of its own. Google Analytics sets cookies to measure aggregate usage; the opt-out link above disables them. Checkout happens on Dodo Payments' pages, which set their own cookies under their policy.

8. Children

The Site and our products are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we delete it.

9. Security

All connections to the Site use HTTPS. We never handle card details. Access to purchase and email data is limited to the people who need it to run the Site. We are a small operation and cannot guarantee absolute security, but we follow practices appropriate to the size and nature of the data we hold.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes are announced by email to customers and subscribers. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
