Visara Studios & Publishing

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Visara Studios & Publishing handles information submitted through VisaraStudios.com, including newsletter subscriptions, contact inquiries, and direct purchases.

Information We Collect

Information you provide. This may include your name, email address, shipping information, inquiry details, newsletter subscription information, and information required to fulfill an order.

Payment information. Direct checkout is processed by Stripe. Visara does not receive or store your full payment-card number.

Technical and security information. Hosting, payment, form, email, and security providers may process information such as IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, and fraud/security signals needed to operate their services.

How We Use Information

  • To complete purchases and deliver digital or physical orders.
  • To send transactional order, fulfillment, download, and support messages.
  • To manage newsletter subscriptions and unsubscribe requests.
  • To respond to reader, media, bookstore, library, rights, research, or other inquiries.
  • To maintain appropriate business, security, fraud-prevention, and legal records.

Newsletter and Promotional Email

Newsletter and promotional email are optional. When promotional-email consent is offered during checkout, a purchase does not require the customer to subscribe. Visara adds a checkout customer to promotional email only when the customer has given the applicable consent. Transactional purchase messages are separate and may still be sent when needed to complete or support an order.

You may unsubscribe from the Visara Newsletter at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in marketing email.

Service Providers

Visara uses service providers to operate portions of the website and its communications. These may include Stripe for payment processing, EmailOctopus for newsletter subscription and delivery, Formspree for contact-form processing, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and Hostinger for website and related hosting services. Providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Sharing and Sale of Personal Information

Visara does not sell newsletter subscriber email addresses. Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to operate the website, process payments, fulfill orders, deliver communications, respond to inquiries, maintain security, or comply with applicable law.

Data Retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including active subscriptions, order fulfillment and support, business records, legal obligations, and security.

Children’s Privacy

The website and newsletter are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. Visara does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the newsletter or contact form.

Your Requests

If you have a question about this policy or want to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted, contact contact@visarastudios.com.

Visara may update this policy as the website, store, or service providers change. The current version will be posted on this page.
