Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2025

AlexIsDead.com (the “Site”) is owned and operated by Michael Wienke (“we,” “us,” or “our”), who is the data controller for personal data processed through the Site. We care about your privacy and collect only what we need to deliver your purchase and communicate about Alex Is Dead and future related projects.

If you use the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1) What we collect

Information you provide

Name and email address – when you purchase a digital product or subscribe to updates.
Support messages – if you contact us directly.

We do not collect or store your payment card numbers. Payments are processed by third-party providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), who handle your payment data under their own privacy policies.

Information collected automatically (minimal)

To maintain and secure the Site, our systems may automatically capture limited technical data such as:

IP address, browser type/version, device and operating system, time zone
Basic usage data (pages viewed, referring URLs)
Essential cookies or similar technologies required for site functionality and security

We use this technical information only to operate, secure, and understand basic usage of the Site. We do not build profiles or sell this data.

2) How we use your information

We use personal data to:

Fulfill your digital purchase and deliver download links or access emails
Communicate about Alex Is Dead and future related projects
Provide support and respond to inquiries
Protect the Site (fraud prevention, security, diagnostics)

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

3) Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process your data on these bases:

Contract – to fulfill your purchase and deliver digital goods
Legitimate interests – site security, essential analytics, and communications related to your purchase or similar projects
Consent – where required for email updates; you can withdraw consent at any time

4) Sharing and service providers

We share data only with providers that help us operate the Site and deliver your purchase, such as:

Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal)
Email/communication tools
Hosting and security providers

These providers act as processors on our behalf (or independent controllers in the case of payment processors). We require appropriate safeguards from our processors.

5) International transfers

We are based in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the U.S. and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. We use appropriate safeguards where required.

6) Data retention

We keep your name and email only as long as needed to:

Deliver your purchase and provide support
Communicate about Alex Is Dead and related projects (until you unsubscribe)
Meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements

When no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize data.

7) Your choices

Unsubscribe: Every email includes an unsubscribe option. You can also email info@alexisdead.com.
Access, correction, deletion: Contact info@alexisdead.com to request access to, correct, or delete your personal information.
Cookies/technical data: You can control cookies in your browser settings; essential cookies may be required for site operation.

8) Your rights (EEA/UK)

If you are in the EEA/UK, you may have the right to be informed, access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, object, and rights related to automated decision-making (we do not engage in automated decision-making producing legal effects). To exercise these rights, contact info@alexisdead.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

9) U.S. state privacy disclosures

We do not sell or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by certain U.S. state laws. You can request access or deletion by emailing info@alexisdead.com.

10) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data. However, no internet transmission or storage system is 100% secure.

12) Links to other websites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies.

13) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a new “Effective Date.” Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
