Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

At Apex Reads, your privacy is something we take seriously — not as a legal formality, but because we genuinely believe you deserve to know exactly how your information is handled when you shop with us. This policy is written in plain language on purpose. You should not need a lawyer to understand it.

Who We Are

Apex Reads is a digital publishing brand based in India, operating through our online store. Our contact email is hello@apexreads.in.

What Information We Collect

When you make a purchase or create an account on our store, we collect the information necessary to process and deliver your order. This typically includes:

Your name and email address, used to confirm your order and deliver your digital product. Your billing information, which is processed securely by our payment provider. We do not store your full card details on our servers — this is handled entirely by our payment processor. Any messages or queries you send us directly through email or our contact form.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as your government ID, income details, or financial account information beyond what is required for standard payment processing.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to run our business and serve you well. Specifically, we use it to process and fulfil your orders, send you your purchase confirmation and download links, respond to your questions or support requests, and occasionally send you updates about new products or offers from Apex Reads (you can opt out of these at any time).

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to build marketing profiles for companies other than our own.

Cookies and Browsing Data

Our store, like most websites, uses cookies — small text files that help the website function and help us understand how visitors use our site. Cookies allow things like keeping items in your cart, recognising you when you return, and helping us understand which pages are most useful. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect how some parts of the website function.

We may also use standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Shopify's built-in analytics) to understand general traffic patterns — for example, how many people visit a page or which products are most viewed. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Third-Party Services

Our store is built on Shopify, which means Shopify processes some of your data as part of providing the platform. You can read Shopify's privacy policy on their website. Our payment processing is handled by secure third-party payment providers who are compliant with industry-standard security practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party platforms, but we only work with reputable providers.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your purchase records for as long as required for legal and accounting purposes. If you would like us to delete your personal data, please contact us and we will handle your request appropriately, subject to any legal obligations we must fulfil.

Your Rights

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections to any inaccurate information, request deletion of your personal data (where legally permissible), and opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email we send you.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@apexreads.in and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

If you have any questions about how we handle your data, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would rather you ask than wonder.
