Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 18, 2026

Story Mode Guy ("we," "us," "our") runs the website at storymodeguy.com, where we sell digital downloads — photography wallpapers and prints, original ebooks and comics, and photography guides. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Please note: This document is provided for general information and is not legal advice. Review it with a qualified professional and adjust the business details, contact address, and governing-law section to your situation before relying on it.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you buy a product or contact us, you may provide your name, email address, and billing details. Purchases are processed by our storefront provider, Payhip, and its payment processors — we receive your order details and email, but we never see or store your full payment-card number.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we (and our providers) may collect basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring pages, and how you use the site.

2. How we use your information

To process orders and deliver your digital downloads.
To respond to questions and provide customer support.
To send you the emails you request, including order confirmations and download links.
With your consent, to send occasional updates about new releases — you can unsubscribe at any time.
To operate, secure, and improve the website, and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Payments and Payhip

Our checkout, product delivery, and payment handling are provided by Payhip and its payment partners (such as PayPal and Stripe). When you buy, your information is processed by them under their own privacy policies. Please review Payhip's privacy policy for details on how they handle your data.

4. Cookies and analytics

We and our providers may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, and understand aggregate traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features. If we use analytics or embeds (for example, video or social widgets), those services may set their own cookies.

We share information only with the service providers who help us run the business — our storefront and payment processors, email delivery, and analytics — and only as needed to provide their service. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights. We don't rent or sell your data to advertisers.

6. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to opt out of marketing, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, email us at hello@storymodeguy.com and we'll respond within a reasonable time. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any such email.

7. Data retention and security

We keep order and contact information for as long as needed to fulfill orders, provide support, and meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, then delete or anonymize it. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. Children

Our site and products are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

9. Changes and how to reach us

We may update this policy from time to time; the "last updated" date above reflects the latest version. For any privacy question or request, email hello@storymodeguy.com.
