Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 6, 2026
This is a draft policy generated to match how the site currently works. Bracketed placeholders (like [LEGAL BUSINESS NAME]) need to be filled in with real details, and the whole page should be reviewed by a lawyer before you rely on it — especially if you plan to sell to customers outside the US, where additional rules (e.g. GDPR) may apply.
African Pot Kitchen(“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and sells digital recipe booklets. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, sign up for our free booklet, or make a purchase, and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
- Email address — when you sign up for a free booklet, save your basket, or check out. This is the only personal information we ask for directly.
- Order information — which booklets or bundles you bought, the amount charged, and the currency, so we can deliver your downloads and keep order records.
- Payment information — collected and processed directly by Stripe, our payment processor. We never see or store your full card number.
- Usage data— pages viewed, items added to your basket, and similar interactions, collected through our analytics provider (PostHog) to help us understand what's working and fix what isn't.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To deliver the booklets you've downloaded for free or purchased.
- To send order confirmations and download links.
- To send marketing emails (new issue announcements, bundle offers) if you've signed up for them — every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time.
- To understand how visitors use the site and improve it.
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse of our checkout and download systems.
3. Payment Processing
All payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe collects and processes your card details directly; we only receive confirmation that a payment succeeded, the amount, and the email address you provided at checkout. Stripe's own privacy policy governs how it handles your payment data.
4. Cookies & Analytics
We use PostHog to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, items added to a basket, purchases completed). This may involve cookies or similar local storage. We do not sell this data. If you'd like your analytics data removed, contact us at the address below.
5. Third-Party Service Providers
We share information with the following providers, only as needed to run the site:
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Resend — sending transactional emails (order confirmations, free booklet delivery).
- PostHog — product analytics.
- Automation tooling (n8n) — if enabled, forwards your email and order events to our marketing and fulfillment workflows.
6. Data Retention
We keep order and lead records for as long as needed to fulfill orders, respond to support requests, and meet our own legal and accounting obligations. You can request deletion of your email from our marketing lists at any time.
7. Your Rights & Choices
- Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any email we send.
- Request a copy of, or the deletion of, the personal data we hold about you.
- Contact us with any privacy question or concern — see below.
8. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
