For the personal data we process for our own business purposes, MDS Growth Advisory Ltd acts as the data controller.

2. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our store, we may collect:

• Contact information, such as your name and email address.
• Purchase information, including products ordered, transaction dates, amounts and payment status.
• Billing or tax-related information, where required.
• Communications you send through our contact form or by email.
• Technical information, such as IP address, browser information and cookie-related data, where collected through the store platform or enabled analytics tools.
• Marketing preferences, where you choose to receive promotional communications.

We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process personal data for the following purposes:

Order fulfilment: To process purchases, provide access to purchased digital products and manage customer enquiries.

Customer support: To respond to questions, resolve purchase-related issues and provide assistance.

Legal and accounting compliance: To maintain records required for taxation, accounting and other applicable legal obligations.

Store administration and security: To operate the store, manage transactions and address suspected fraud or misuse.

Marketing communications: To send promotional updates where permitted by applicable law and your marketing preferences.

Analytics: To understand store usage and improve our products and customer experience, subject to applicable cookie and privacy requirements.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we rely on the relevant legal basis depending on the purpose:

• Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil purchases and provide digital products.
• Legal obligation: Processing required for tax, accounting or other statutory requirements.
• Legitimate interests: Processing reasonably necessary for customer support, business administration, service improvement and security, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: Processing activities that require your permission, including certain marketing communications and non-essential cookies.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before that withdrawal.

5. Payments and Third-Party Platforms

Our digital store is hosted on Payhip, and card payments are facilitated through Stripe.

When you make a purchase, relevant personal and transaction information may be processed by these providers to support checkout, payment processing, fraud prevention and order fulfilment.

Payment providers may process certain information under their own privacy policies and legal responsibilities.

You can review their policies here:

Payhip: https://payhip.com/privacy

Stripe: https://stripe.com/privacy

We encourage customers to review these policies for further information about how these providers handle personal data.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Our store may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functionality, improve the browsing experience and measure website activity.

Some cookies may be necessary for the operation of the store. Other cookies, including certain analytics or advertising cookies, may require your consent.

Where applicable, cookie preferences can be managed through the options provided on our store or through your browser settings.

The technologies used may change if additional analytics, advertising or integration services are enabled.

7. Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to marketing updates, or where marketing communications are otherwise permitted by applicable law, we may contact you about new digital products, resources and relevant offers.

You can request to stop receiving marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided or by contacting us at info@mydigitalstory.net.

Purchasing a product does not, by itself, mean that you have consented to all promotional communications.

8. Sharing Your Personal Data

We may share relevant information with service providers involved in operating our store, processing payments, delivering purchased products, providing technical services or meeting legal obligations.

These may include:

• Payhip, our digital storefront and delivery platform.
• Stripe, our connected payment service provider.
• Email and communication service providers.
• Professional accounting or legal advisers, where necessary.
• Public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We do not sell customer personal data as a standalone commercial product.

9. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process or store personal data outside Cyprus or the European Economic Area.

Where the GDPR requires safeguards for international transfers, we assess the applicable transfer arrangements and rely on relevant legal mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions or appropriate contractual safeguards, where applicable.

You may contact us for further information about the safeguards relevant to your data.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including order fulfilment, customer support, accounting, legal compliance and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Different categories of personal data may have different retention periods depending on their purpose and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer required, we take appropriate steps to delete or anonymise it, subject to legal and technical limitations.

11. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal data.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus or another competent supervisory authority.

12. Data Security

We take reasonable organisational and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the personal data and the risks involved in its processing.

Our store and payment providers also maintain their own security arrangements.

No online system can guarantee absolute security.

13. Children's Privacy

Our digital marketing resources are intended for professional and educational audiences and are not specifically directed at children.

If you believe that personal data relating to a child has been provided to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can assess the situation.
