<h2>Privacy policy</h2>
<p>This Privacy Policy describes how TheGuideShelf ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from theguideshelf.com.</p>

<h3>What we collect</h3>
<p>When you visit the site, we automatically collect certain information about your device — including your IP address, browser type, time zone, referring/exit pages, and how you interact with the site. We use this to keep the site working and to understand which guides resonate.</p>
<p>When you purchase a guide, we collect your name, email address, billing address, and payment information (handled by our payment processor — we don't see or store full card numbers).</p>
<p>We use cookies and pixel-based analytics (including Meta and Google) so we can show relevant guides to similar readers and measure whether our content is working.</p>

<h3>How we use it</h3>
<ul>
<li>To deliver the guides you buy</li>
<li>To send you order confirmations, support emails, and (with your consent) marketing emails about new guides</li>
<li>To improve our site, content, and customer experience</li>
<li>To comply with applicable laws and prevent fraud</li>
</ul>

<h3>Sharing</h3>
<p>We share personal information with third parties who help us run the business: Shopify (storefront + payments), our email provider, our PDF delivery app (Filemonk), our review platform (Looks Reviews), and analytics providers (Meta, Google). We do not sell your personal information.</p>

<h3>Your rights</h3>
<p>If you're a resident of the EU, UK, or California, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Email <a href="mailto:hello@theguideshelf.com">hello@theguideshelf.com</a> and we'll handle it within 30 days.</p>
