Privacy Policy

stefanguy.com | Last updated: 30 May 2026

This privacy policy explains how I, Stefan Guy, collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit or make a purchase from stefanguy.com. I take your privacy seriously and am committed to being transparent about what I collect and how it is used.

By using this website or purchasing from me, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you have any questions, please get in touch using the contact details at the end of this document.

Who I Am

I am Stefan Guy, a UK-based independent creator and seller of digital products for music makers. My website is stefanguy.com.

What Data I Collect and Why

Purchases (via SureCart)

When you purchase a product from my store, SureCart — my sales and payment platform — collects the following to process and deliver your order:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Billing information (handled securely by the payment processor)

SureCart also uses email open tracking to assist with purchase-related support, so I can see whether you have received and opened order or delivery emails. This helps me provide better customer support if something goes wrong with your order.

SureCart also operates an abandoned cart system. If you begin the checkout process but do not complete your purchase, I may send you a follow-up email as a reminder, based on the email address you entered during checkout.

Mailing List (via MailerLite)

When you make a purchase, your name and email address are automatically added to my mailing list, managed through MailerLite. I use this list to send you:

  • Product updates and new release announcements
  • Free resources and tips relevant to music production
  • Occasional promotional content

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email I send you. Unsubscribing will not affect your access to any products you have already purchased.

Website Analytics (via Google Analytics)

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use my website. This includes information such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent on the site
  • Referring websites and traffic sources
  • General geographic location (country or region)
  • Device and browser type

This data is aggregated and used only to improve the website experience. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can opt out by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your browser’s cookie settings.

Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)

Under UK GDPR, I rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:

  • Contract performance — processing your name and email to deliver your purchased products
  • Legitimate interests — email open tracking to support order delivery; abandoned cart emails to complete a transaction you initiated
  • Consent — adding you to my mailing list; you may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing

How Long I Keep Your Data

  • Order and purchase data is retained for up to 7 years to comply with UK tax and accounting obligations
  • Mailing list data is retained until you unsubscribe or request removal
  • Analytics data is retained in line with Google Analytics’ default retention settings
