Privacy Policy

Havrixi (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the online bookstore located at havrixi.com. We respect the privacy of our readers as much as we respect the copyright of the authors we feature. This Privacy Policy serves as our transparency charter, detailing how we gather, utilize, and safeguard your personal data when you browse our catalog or acquire books from us.

To facilitate the delivery of literature to your doorstep, we collect specific types of data. A. Information You Voluntarily Provide When you register an account, purchase a volume, or inquire about a title, you provide us with:

• Identity Data: Your full name.
• Logistics Data: Shipping address and billing address.
• Communication Data: Email address and phone number (essential for tracking updates).
• Financial Data: Credit card details or payment tokens. Note: Sensitive payment data is encrypted and processed directly by our banking partners (Stripe/PayPal); it is never stored on Havrixi servers.

B. Information Collected Automatically As you navigate our digital shelves, certain technical data is gathered to ensure site performance:

• Device Metrics: We detect your browser type, operating system, and IP address to optimize the display for your specific device.
• Usage Statistics: We analyze which book categories (e.g., Cookbooks, Fiction) are viewed most frequently to improve our curation.

Our Platform employs “Cookies”—small digital files stored on your device.

• Functionality: These allow the site to “remember” the books in your cart if you navigate away and return later.
• Control: You possess the authority to decline cookies via your browser settings, though this may impede the checkout functionality.

We do not hoard data. We utilize your information strictly for the following operational objectives:

• Order Fulfillment: To process transactions and coordinate with our distribution network to dispatch your books.
• Customer Support: To resolve delivery inquiries or address issues with damaged items.
• Site Optimization: To analyze traffic patterns and enhance the speed and security of our Platform.
• Communication: To send transactional emails (Order Confirmation, Shipping Notification). With your explicit consent, we may occasionally introduce you to new arrivals in our catalog.

Havrixi is a retailer, not a data broker. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identity to external parties for profit. However, to operate our business, we must share data with specific infrastructure partners:

• Logistics Partners: Your shipping address is shared with our book distributors and carriers (FedEx/UPS/USPS) solely to effectuate delivery.
• Payment Processors: Transaction data is transmitted to secure payment gateways to prevent fraud and authorize charges.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if compelled by a subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Havrixi and our patrons.

We implement rigorous security measures to protect your digital footprint.

• Encryption: All data exchanged between your browser and our Site is protected via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
• Compliance: We align our practices with industry standards for electronic commerce and payment security.

We retain personal information only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.

• Transactional Records: Order history is retained to satisfy tax, accounting, and legal reporting requirements.
• Account Status: Active account data is retained until you request its deletion.

As a valued patron, you hold the following rights:

• Access & Correction: You may review and update your personal details by logging into your account.
• Marketing Opt-Out: You may unsubscribe from promotional correspondence at any time via the “Unsubscribe” link in our emails.
• Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your personal data from our active systems, subject to our legal obligation to retain transaction records.

Havrixi is domiciled in the United States. If you are accessing our Site from outside the US, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using our services, you consent to this transfer in accordance with US privacy laws.

The digital landscape evolves, and so may this policy. We reserve the right to modify this document. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates the current version. Continued use of our Site constitutes acceptance of these changes.
