Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2026 • Gideon Abochie (studio.gabochie.com)

This privacy policy explains how Gideon Abochie ("we", "us") handles your personal data when you visit our websites (including yes.gabochie.com and studio.gabochie.com), download the free preview, or buy Yeshurun: The Upright One.

1. What we collect

• Lead form data: your first name, email address, and (optionally) your WhatsApp number, when you request the free preview. This data is stored securely on our hosting platform (Netlify).
• Analytics data: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our pages (page views, button clicks, traffic source). Google Analytics uses cookies or similar identifiers. No advertising profile is built from our pages.
• Purchase data: payments are processed entirely by Selar (selar.co) or Amazon (KDP). We never see or store your card details, mobile money PIN, or bank credentials. When you buy from us, the platform shares your order details (name, email, purchase status) with us so we can deliver support.
• Local storage: we store small non-personal preferences on your device (e.g. which book cover you were shown) to keep your experience consistent and to measure our content fairly.

2. Why we use it

• To deliver the free preview and download links to you.
• To send you the occasional encouragement, devotional, or launch news (you can opt out any time — email gabochie@gmail.com or reply "STOP").
• To improve our website and understand which content serves readers best.
• To provide receipts and support for purchases.

3. Who we share it with

We never sell your data. It is processed only by the service providers doing the work on our behalf:

• Netlify — website hosting and form storage
• Google (Analytics 4) — aggregated visitor analytics
• Selar — payment processing, VAT/tax collection, and digital delivery
• Amazon KDP — purchase processing for the Kindle/paperback editions

4. Your rights

Wherever you live — including under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) and — where applicable to you — the EU/UK GDPR or other local laws — you may request: a copy of your data; correction of it; deletion of it; or that we stop emailing you. Write to gabochie@gmail.com and we will action it promptly.

5. Cookies & consent

We use only the cookies/th identifiers needed for the site to work and for privacy-friendly analytics. Where local law requires consent for analytics cookies, clear your browser notifications and use your browser settings to control them, or contact us for a no-analytics link.

6. Children

Our books and site are directed at readers 13+ (and to parents buying for younger readers). We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 without parental involvement. If you believe a child's data reached us, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Data retention & security

Lead data is kept until you ask us to remove it or it goes stale (12 months of no engagement), after which it is deleted. Data is stored on HTTPS-encrypted services with access limited to the author.
