The Finish Geek

Effective date: October 15, 2026

The Finish Geek respects your privacy. This policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared when you visit our pages, download free resources, purchase digital products, or contact us.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with The Finish Geek, we may collect:

• Your name and email address when you subscribe, request a download, or make a purchase.
• Information about your orders, including products purchased, transaction records, and information required for payment processing and tax compliance.
• Communications you send us, including customer support requests.
• Technical information collected by our website and service providers, such as IP addresses, browser information, and information about page visits.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Deliver purchased products and requested free downloads.
• Process orders and maintain transaction records.
• Respond to questions and provide customer support.
• Maintain the security and functionality of our services.
• Meet applicable legal, accounting, and tax obligations.
• Send promotional emails, product updates, or educational content when you have provided the required consent.

We do not sell customer or subscriber contact lists.

3. Email Subscriptions and Marketing

The Finish Geek uses MailerLite to manage email subscriptions, deliver free resources, and send authorized email communications.

When you subscribe to marketing emails, you may receive information about painting techniques, troubleshooting resources, digital products, and training services.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications using the unsubscribe link included in our promotional emails or by contacting us directly.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending essential messages about purchases, delivery, or customer support.

Providing information necessary to receive a purchase or requested download does not, by itself, mean you have agreed to receive unrelated promotional emails.

4. Payments and Digital Product Delivery

The Finish Geek uses Payhip to sell and deliver digital products and Stripe to process supported payments.

These providers may collect and process information needed to complete transactions, verify payments, prevent fraud, calculate applicable taxes, and deliver purchases.

Payment card information is processed through the payment provider. The Finish Geek does not directly collect or store complete payment card numbers.

These services maintain their own privacy and security practices.

5. Cookies and Website Information

Our websites and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, process purchases, prevent abuse, and understand website performance.

Some information may be processed automatically when you visit a landing page or storefront.

You can manage certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect website or checkout functionality.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

We use third-party platforms, including Payhip, Stripe, and MailerLite, to operate our storefront, process payments, deliver files, and manage communications.

We share personal information with these providers only as reasonably necessary for these purposes, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Information may be processed or stored outside Canada and may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our legitimate business interests.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including the security features provided by our service platforms, to protect personal information.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may contact The Finish Geek to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Withdraw consent for optional uses of your information.
• Request deletion of information that we are not required or permitted to retain.

We will respond in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Certain records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, or transaction-related purposes.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our services, practices, or legal obligations change. The current version will be made available through our storefront or landing page, with an updated effective date.
