This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, shared, and protected when you visit or use mvmitic.com, create an account, access digital content, make a purchase, subscribe to communications, install or use the progressive web application (“PWA”), or otherwise interact with services operated under the M.V. Mitic author brand.

By using the website and related services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide

This may include:

  • email address;
  • username and account information;
  • information submitted through registration, login, support, or contact forms;
  • newsletter subscription information;
  • communications you send to us;
  • purchase and order information; and
  • information you voluntarily provide through available features.

We aim to collect only information reasonably necessary to operate and improve the Service.

2. Account Information

When you create an account, we may process information necessary to:

  • create and maintain your account;
  • authenticate you;
  • provide access to your Library and purchased digital content;
  • protect account security;
  • communicate important account information; and
  • maintain records of purchases associated with your account.

The Service is intended for persons 18 years of age or older.

3. Google Sign-In

Where available, you may create or access your account using Google Sign-In.

When you choose this option, Google may provide us with basic account information according to the permissions associated with the sign-in process, such as your account identifier, email address, name, or profile information.

We use this information only as reasonably necessary to authenticate you, create or connect your account, and operate the Service.

Your use of Google services is also subject to Google’s own terms and privacy practices.

4. Purchases and WooCommerce

We use WooCommerce to manage products, purchases, orders, and access to digital content.

When you make a purchase, we may process information such as:

  • your account identifier;
  • email address;
  • product purchased;
  • transaction status;
  • order number;
  • purchase date;
  • payment status; and
  • information necessary for fraud prevention, accounting, support, and legal compliance.

Because our digital products are primarily provided through account-based access, purchase information may also be used to determine which content your account is entitled to access.

5. Payments and PayPal

Payments are processed through third-party payment services, including PayPal and supported debit or credit card payment options made available through PayPal.

Payment providers process payment credentials according to their own privacy and security practices.

We do not ordinarily receive or store your complete credit or debit card number. We may receive transaction information necessary to confirm payment, associate a purchase with your account, provide access, process legitimate refunds where applicable, prevent fraud, and maintain financial records.

6. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website or use the PWA, certain technical information may be collected automatically.

This may include:

  • IP address;
  • browser type;
  • device type;
  • operating system;
  • approximate location;
  • referring page or source;
  • pages visited;
  • timestamps;
  • session information;
  • technical errors;
  • security information;
  • cookie or similar identifiers; and
  • information about interaction with the website.

This information may be processed for security, analytics, advertising, troubleshooting, performance, fraud prevention, and operation of the Service.

7. Analytics

We may use Google Analytics and related Google services, including integrations made available through Google Site Kit, to understand how visitors use the website.

Google Analytics may collect information such as session statistics, approximate geographic location, browser information, device information, and identifiers used to distinguish visits and sessions.

Analytics information helps us understand traffic, improve pages and content, diagnose problems, measure performance, and understand which parts of the Service are useful to visitors.

Analytics technologies are used subject to applicable consent requirements and available privacy controls.

8. Advertising and Google AdSense

The Service may display advertisements, including advertisements provided through Google AdSense.

Google and other advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, or similar technologies in connection with the serving, measurement, security, frequency control, and personalization of advertisements. Google requires publishers using its advertising services to disclose these practices.

Depending on your location, consent choices, and advertising settings, advertisements may be:

  • personalized, based in part on previous activity, interests, or other permitted information; or
  • non-personalized, based primarily on contextual information such as the content being viewed or approximate location.

Google notes that even non-personalized advertising may use cookies or identifiers for purposes such as frequency capping and aggregated advertising reporting.

Where consent is legally required before advertising technologies are used, we use appropriate consent controls.

9. Advertising Privacy Choices

We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary payment.

However, certain advertising or analytics activities may be legally classified as “sharing,” “sale,” targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising under some privacy laws.

Where applicable, visitors may be provided with mechanisms to opt out of or control such activities through our consent or privacy controls.

Advertising preferences may also be managed through relevant third-party advertising providers.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, web beacons, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

  • essential website functionality;
  • authentication;
  • security;
  • account sessions;
  • remembering preferences;
  • analytics;
  • advertising;
  • consent management;
  • fraud prevention;
  • performance; and
  • other functionality described in this Policy.

Google AdSense, for example, may send advertising cookies when pages containing Google advertising technology are accessed.

11. Cookie and Consent Management

We use consent-management technology, including Complianz, to help manage cookie and privacy preferences where appropriate.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may be asked to consent before certain analytics, advertising, or similar technologies operate.

You may be able to review or modify your choices through the Cookie Consent or privacy controls made available on the website.

Essential technologies that are necessary for security, authentication, payment processing, or operation of the Service may not require the same consent where permitted by applicable law.

12. Newsletter

You may voluntarily subscribe to receive news, announcements, releases, book information, and other communications from M.V. Mitic.

We may process:

  • your email address;
  • subscription status;
  • date of subscription;
  • consent information; and
  • technical delivery or engagement information where supported.

Newsletter subscription is optional.

You may unsubscribe at any time through the unsubscribe mechanism provided in an email or through another method we make available.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent necessary account, security, transaction, or service communications.

13. Push Notifications

Where available, you may voluntarily enable push notifications through your browser or PWA.

We may use providers such as OneSignal to provide this functionality.

Push-notification services may process technical information such as a push subscription identifier, device or browser information, notification preferences, and information necessary to deliver notifications.

Push notifications are optional and may be disabled through your browser, device, operating system, or available Service controls.

14. Progressive Web Application

The Service may be available as an installable PWA.

PWA functionality may use:

  • browser storage;
  • local storage;
  • service workers;
  • cached technical resources;
  • device or browser information; and
  • other technologies necessary to provide an app-like experience.

You may remove the PWA or clear website data through your browser or device settings.

Sensitive account, authentication, payment, and checkout functionality is intended to remain subject to appropriate security and freshness controls.

15. Translation Services

The Service may provide automated translation functionality through third-party translation technologies.

When you use translation features, technical information or page content may be processed by the applicable translation provider as necessary to provide the translated version.

Automated translations may not always be perfectly accurate.

16. Hosting, Content Delivery and Security

We use hosting, caching, content-delivery, email, security, and infrastructure providers to operate the Service.

These may include providers such as Namecheap, LiteSpeed, QUIC.cloud, and other infrastructure suppliers.

Such providers may process technical data including:

  • IP addresses;
  • connection information;
  • browser information;
  • request logs;
  • security events; and
  • information necessary to deliver website resources.

This processing helps provide the website, improve performance, prevent abuse, and maintain security.

17. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

  • provide and operate the Service;
  • create and authenticate accounts;
  • provide purchased digital content;
  • process and verify orders;
  • communicate with users;
  • provide customer support;
  • send optional newsletters or notifications;
  • display and measure advertising;
  • analyze website usage;
  • improve performance and functionality;
  • prevent fraud, piracy, abuse, and unauthorized access;
  • maintain security;
  • comply with legal obligations;
  • enforce our Terms of Service; and
  • establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use personal information for purposes materially incompatible with those described here unless permitted by law or appropriate notice or consent is provided.

18. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis, we may process personal information on one or more of the following grounds:

Performance of a contract — for example, providing an account or digital content you purchased.

Consent — for example, certain cookies, personalized advertising, newsletter subscriptions, or push notifications.

Legitimate interests — for example, protecting the Service, preventing fraud, improving performance, maintaining security, and understanding general usage where permitted.

Legal obligations — for example, maintaining records required by tax, accounting, consumer-protection, or other applicable laws.

You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, subject to applicable law.

19. Sharing of Personal Information

We may share information with service providers only where reasonably necessary for them to perform services on our behalf or provide functionality you request.

Categories of recipients may include:

  • payment processors;
  • authentication providers;
  • advertising providers;
  • analytics providers;
  • hosting and CDN providers;
  • email and newsletter providers;
  • push-notification providers;
  • security and anti-fraud providers;
  • translation providers; and
  • technical service providers.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, valid government requests, protect rights or security, investigate fraud or abuse, or defend legal claims.

20. International Data Transfers

Because the Service is available internationally and uses global technology providers, personal information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we and our providers may rely on legally recognized transfer mechanisms or other appropriate safeguards.

21. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.

For example:

  • account information may be retained while an account remains active;
  • purchase records may be retained to maintain access rights and meet legal, financial, tax, fraud-prevention, or accounting requirements;
  • newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion where applicable;
  • consent records may be retained as evidence of privacy choices;
  • security logs may be retained for a reasonable security period; and
  • analytics information is retained according to applicable analytics settings.

Information may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated when it is no longer required.

22. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account through available account controls or by contacting us.

Deleting an account may affect your ability to access purchased digital content associated with that account.

Certain information may continue to be retained where necessary for:

  • financial records;
  • tax or accounting requirements;
  • fraud prevention;
  • transaction disputes;
  • security;
  • legal obligations; or
  • establishment or defense of legal claims.

23. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to:

  • request access to personal information;
  • request correction of inaccurate information;
  • request deletion;
  • restrict certain processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • obtain a portable copy of certain information;
  • withdraw consent;
  • opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing;
  • appeal certain privacy decisions where applicable; and
  • lodge a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority.

These rights are not identical in every jurisdiction and may be subject to legal exceptions.

To submit a privacy request, contact:

author@mvmitic.com

We may need to reasonably verify your identity before completing certain requests.

24. Children and Users Under 18

The Service is intended for adults aged 18 and over.

We do not intentionally offer accounts or restricted digital content to persons under 18.

If we become aware that an account belongs to a person who does not meet the applicable age requirement, we may restrict or remove the account and associated information as appropriate, subject to applicable law and legitimate record-retention requirements.

25. Security

We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures designed to protect personal information and the Service.

However, no website, network, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your own account credentials and devices.

26. Third-Party Websites and Advertisements

The Service may contain advertisements or links to third-party websites and services.

Third parties operate independently and may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of independent third-party websites or services.

We encourage you to review their applicable privacy information before providing personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our Service, technologies, providers, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

The updated version will be published on mvmitic.com with a revised “Last Updated” date.
