Ghost's current documentation describes its native analytics as first-party and cookie-free. If third-party analytics or tracking services are added to the website in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

When you make a payment, Stripe may process information including your name, email address, billing information, payment method information, transaction amount, currency, subscription details, applicable taxes and information relating to refunds or disputes.
Stripe may also process information and use cookies or similar technologies for security and fraud prevention. Stripe explains that its role can vary depending on the particular processing activity and that it may act as a data controller and/or processor.
We do not have access to or store your full payment card number, security code or other complete payment credentials.
Stripe's own privacy practices are governed by its Privacy Policy.
6. Contact forms and Tally
We use Tally to provide some contact and enquiry forms on the website.
When you submit a form, the information you provide may include your name, email address, enquiry type and the contents of your message.
The Yellow Art Book is responsible for determining why this information is collected and how it is used. Tally acts as a service provider processing form information on our behalf.
Tally states that form data is encrypted in transit and at rest and that form data is stored in Europe. Tally also provides a Data Processing Agreement for its customers.
We use information submitted through our forms to respond to enquiries and provide the information or services requested.

Third-party services used by the website may also use cookies or similar technologies where necessary to provide their services.
For example, Stripe uses cookies and similar technologies as part of its payment services and fraud-prevention systems.
Where applicable, you can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the website.
If we introduce additional analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies, we will update this policy and, where required by applicable law, provide an appropriate consent mechanism.

If you choose to subscribe to communications from The Yellow Art Book, we may use your email address to send you newsletters, updates, new resource announcements, workshop information or other communications relevant to your subscription.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the email or by contacting us at info@theyellowartbook.com.
Transactional communications relating to a membership, purchase, registration or enquiry may still be sent where necessary to provide the service you have requested.

The Yellow Art Book is based in the United Arab Emirates and provides services to an international community of educators.
Some of the service providers we use may process personal information in countries outside the United Arab Emirates or the country in which you are located.
For example, Stripe and other technology providers may process information internationally as part of providing their services. Stripe provides information about its international data transfers and privacy safeguards in its Privacy Policy and Privacy Center.
Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
11. How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where we are required to keep it for legal, accounting or other legitimate purposes.
For example:
- membership information may be retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards;
- enquiry information may be retained for as long as necessary to respond to and manage the enquiry;
- payment and financial records may be retained for the period required by applicable accounting, tax or legal requirements;
- marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it, subject to any legal requirements that apply.
Retention periods may also be affected by the retention policies of the service providers we use.
12. How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
We use established third-party services for important functions such as website management, forms and payment processing.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
