Privacy Policy

Datenschutzerklärung gemäß DSGVO (GDPR) — last updated September 2026

This policy explains what information pastoreliasgrant.com collects, why, and who it's shared with. It applies to this website and to purchases of Guarded made through it.

1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

Nikolai Sallinger
Klein-Erla 11, 4303 St. Pantaleon-Erla, Austria
Email: pastoreliasgrant@proton.me

2. What Data We Process

This website itself (pastoreliasgrant.com) is a static informational page. We do not run our own account system, and we do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking on this page.

Analytics — we use Vercel Web Analytics, Speed Insights, and Umami to see aggregate page visits, referrers, and site performance. These are cookie-less by design and do not build a personal profile of you — no persistent identifier is stored per visitor. See Vercel Analytics' privacy policy and Umami's privacy policy.
Checkout & payment data — when you purchase Guarded, checkout is handled by Payhip, using Stripe to process the actual card payment. Payhip and Stripe collect your email, payment details, and billing address directly on their own platforms — we do not see or store your card details. Both are independent data controllers for that transaction — see Payhip's privacy policy and Stripe's privacy policy for how they handle your data. To make checkout work, Payhip's own script sets a small number of cookies on this page (session identification, fraud/bot protection, and load-balancing) — these are necessary for checkout to function and are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Server log data — our hosting provider, Vercel Inc., automatically processes standard technical data (IP address, browser type, request timestamps) to serve the page and keep it secure. See Vercel's privacy policy.
Country-based pricing — we use your approximate country, detected from your IP address by our hosting provider at the point of your request, to show a fairer local price where the standard price is disproportionate. Your IP address itself is not stored or logged by us, and no profile of you is built from it.
Direct contact — if you email us directly, we process that email address and message content only to respond to you.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract, for checkout/delivery) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure, functioning website).

4. International Data Transfers

Our hosting provider (Vercel) and payment processors (Payhip, Stripe) may process data on servers located outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States. Where this occurs, it relies on their respective standard contractual safeguards (such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses) as required under GDPR.

5. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by Austrian tax and commercial law (generally up to 7 years for transaction-related records).

6. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we (or our processors) hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request erasure ("right to be forgotten"), where applicable
Restrict or object to processing
Data portability
Lodge a complaint with the Austrian data protection authority, the Datenschutzbehörde (DSB)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at pastoreliasgrant@proton.me.

7. Cookies

Vercel Web Analytics, Speed Insights, and Umami are all cookie-less by design and set nothing. The only cookies on this site come from Payhip's checkout script (see above) — necessary, functional cookies required for checkout to work, not advertising or tracking cookies, so no separate consent banner is used for them. If a tool that sets tracking or advertising cookies is added in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent requested before it goes live.

8. Refunds & Digital Delivery

Guarded is a digital product, delivered instantly by download the moment your payment is completed. By completing your purchase, you expressly request immediate access to that content. Where a statutory right of withdrawal would otherwise apply — such as the EU's 14-day right for online purchases — you acknowledge that this right is lost once delivery of digital content has begun, because it cannot be "returned" after being accessed. For that reason, purchases of Guarded are final and non-refundable. If you were charged in error, charged twice, or never received access, contact us at the email above and we will resolve it directly.

9. Children

This site and Guarded are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at the address above and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site or its tools change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
