This policy explains what information GPL Store ("we", "us") collects when you use https://gplstore.net, why we collect it and what you can do about it.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Email address, only if you choose to give it, for example when a download asks for one or when you write to us.
- Messages you send us by email.
Information collected automatically
- Download records: which item was downloaded and when, together with a one-way hash of the IP address. We store the hash, not the IP address itself. It is used to count downloads and to limit abuse.
- Server logs: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These are standard web server logs used for security and troubleshooting.
- Cookies: see our Cookie Policy for the full list.
- Usage statistics, only if you allow analytics cookies.
We do not ask for your name, postal address or payment card details to download free items.
How we use information
- To deliver the files you ask for.
- To keep the site secure and prevent automated abuse.
- To understand which items and pages are used, so we can improve the library.
- To send product update news to the email address you gave us. Every message has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
- To reply when you contact us.
Legal bases
Where the GDPR or a similar law applies, we rely on: your consent (analytics and marketing cookies, update emails), our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, basic statistics) and the performance of our agreement with you (delivering downloads).
Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We share it only with service providers that run the site for us (hosting, email delivery and, if you allow them, analytics), and when the law requires it. These providers may process data outside your country; where required we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Retention
- Download records: up to 24 months.
- Server logs: up to 90 days.
- Email addresses on the update list: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
- Email correspondence: up to 24 months after the last message.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these rights, write to our support email. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined in the CCPA.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
Security
We use HTTPS, restrict access to stored data and keep only what we need. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be announced on the site.
