Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 20, 2026

TekkieBooks ("we," "us," or "our") operates the tekkiebooks.com website and subscription eBook service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and an encrypted password. Account authentication is managed through Amazon Cognito, a secure identity service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Payment Information. When you subscribe, payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full billing details on our servers. Stripe provides us with a customer identifier, subscription status, and the last four digits of your payment method for display in your account.

Usage Data. We may collect information about how you access and use the service, including:

  • Pages visited and links clicked
  • eBook download activity (which books, when)
  • Browser type, operating system, and device information
  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Referring website or source

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the TekkieBooks service
  • Process your subscription and manage your account
  • Deliver eBook downloads you are entitled to
  • Send transactional emails (account verification, password resets, subscription confirmations)
  • Respond to your inquiries and support requests
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share information only with the following service providers who are necessary to operate TekkieBooks:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) — hosting, authentication (Cognito), database (DynamoDB), file storage (S3), and content delivery (CloudFront)
  • Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing

These providers process your data only as necessary to perform their services and are bound by their own privacy policies and data protection agreements.

We may also disclose your information if required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of TekkieBooks, our users, or the public.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on AWS infrastructure in the United States. We use industry-standard security measures including:

  • Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all communications
  • Encryption at rest for stored data
  • Secure, hashed password storage via Amazon Cognito
  • Restricted access to production systems

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Access and Update. You can view and update your email address through your account settings.

Delete Your Account. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at info@tekkiebooks.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days. Note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., fraud prevention, financial records).

Cancel Subscription. You can cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe customer portal accessible from your account page. You will retain access until the end of your current billing period.

6. Cookies

TekkieBooks uses essential cookies and local storage to maintain your authentication session. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. Your session tokens are stored securely in your browser's local storage and are required for the service to function.

7. Children's Privacy

TekkieBooks is not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
