This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have under applicable privacy laws, including the UK GDPR and EU GDPR where they apply.

Who is responsible for your data
Shop Local Coupon Book is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. For privacy questions or requests, email us at the contact address shown on this site.
What we collect
When you buy a book or create an account, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if you provide it), shipping address, order history, and payment status. We do not store your full card number on our servers.
When you contact us or submit a form, we collect the details you enter (name, email, message, business information for advertising inquiries, and any files you upload).
When you join our email list, we store your email address and the date you subscribed. We only send marketing emails if you have opted in.
Technical data, such as browser type, pages visited, and approximate location from your IP address, may be logged by our hosting provider to keep the site secure and running.
Why we use your data (legal bases)
- Contract: to process orders, deliver books, provide secure flipbook access after purchase, and support your account.
- Legitimate interests: to respond to enquiries, prevent fraud and spam, and improve the website.
- Consent: for optional marketing emails and non-essential cookies where required.
- Legal obligation: to keep records needed for tax, accounting, and consumer law.
How we use your information
We use your details to fulfil orders, ship printed books, send order confirmations, provide secure flipbook access after purchase, reply to messages, and manage advertising inquiries. We do not sell your personal information to data brokers.
We may share data with service providers who help us run the site (payment processors, email delivery, hosting). They may only use your data to provide services to us and must protect it appropriately.
Payment processing
Card and PayPal payments are handled by Stripe and PayPal. We do not store your full card number. Their privacy policies apply when you pay on our site.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar tools as described in our Cookie Policy. Essential cookies are needed for the cart, login, and security. Optional cookies are only used where you have given consent through our cookie banner.
International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside your country (for example, the United States). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or provider commitments.
How long we keep data
We keep order and accounting records for as long as required by law and for customer support. Marketing lists are kept until you ask us to remove your email. Contact form messages are kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access a copy of your personal data;
- correct inaccurate data;
- request deletion of your account (subject to legal retention needs);
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- withdraw consent for marketing or non-essential cookies;
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, email us. We will respond within one month where GDPR applies, or within a reasonable time otherwise.

This site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top will change when we do. Significant changes may also be noted on the website.
