Privacy Notice

1. Who we are

This website (itsleston.com) is operated by Leston Francis Allen, trading as Leston Allen (King David). Leston Francis Allen is the data controller for the personal data collected through this website. If you have questions about this notice or your data, you can reach us through the contact or subscribe options on this website.

2. Personal data we collect

• Email address — when you subscribe to updates about the music, books and videos.
• Order and receipt information — a transaction reference is stored in your browser so buyers can open purchased digital books.
• Technical data — device and browser information, IP address and usage data that our hosting and security tools process to run the website.
• Messages you send us — if you contact us or submit content, we receive what you send.

3. Why we use your data

• To send you the updates you asked for (based on your consent — you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To provide purchased products, verify purchases and give buyers access to content (based on performing our contract with you).
• To keep the website secure, prevent fraud and fix problems (based on our legitimate interests).
• To improve the website and understand how it is used (based on our legitimate interests).
• To respond to your messages and requests (based on performing our contract with you, or our legitimate interests).

4. Who we share data with

• Service providers — companies that host the website, store data and help us run it (for example our hosting, database and email-sending providers).
• Paddle.com — our Merchant of Record, which handles checkout, payments, subscription management, tax compliance and invoicing for orders placed on this website.
• Professional advisers — legal or accounting professionals where needed.
• Authorities — where we are required by law.

We do not sell your personal data.

5. How long we keep data

We keep your email address while you remain subscribed and delete it after you unsubscribe. Purchase records are kept as long as needed for accounting and tax purposes. Technical and security data is kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized when it is no longer needed.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, take a copy of it with you (portability), and withdraw consent where we rely on consent (for example, unsubscribing from emails). You can also complain to your local data protection authority. We respond to requests within one month.

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and limiting access to the people and providers who need it.

8. Cookies

This website uses only essential storage that keeps the site working — for example, saving your purchase receipt so buyers can open the digital book, and remembering thank-you messages after a donation. We do not use advertising or analytics tracking cookies.

9. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside your country. Where personal data leaves the UK or the EEA, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.
