Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 September 2026

This website is run by Dr. Timothy Rabiu (“I”, “me”, “my”). I am a Christian author based in the United Kingdom. I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data.

This policy explains what personal data I collect, how I use it, and your rights under UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR.

If you have any questions, you can contact me using the details at the end of this page.

Privacy Policy - the basics

Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy. 

 

Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.

What to include in the Privacy Policy

What data I collect

I collect different types of personal data when you use this site, for example:

Information you give me directly

  • When you buy a book or other resource:

    • Name

    • Billing and delivery address

    • Email address

    • Phone number (if you choose to give it)

    • Order details (what you bought, when, how much you paid)

  • When you join my email list or newsletter:

    • Name (if you provide it)

    • Email address

    • Your communication preferences

  • When you contact me (for example, through a contact form or email):

    • Name

    • Email address

    • Any other information you choose to share in your message

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, basic technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address

  • Browser type and version

  • Device type

  • Pages visited and time spent on the site

  • General location (country/region, not your exact address)

This is usually collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

3. Legal bases for using your data

I only use your personal data when I have a legal reason to do so. Under UK GDPR, these are:

  • Contract – to process your orders and deliver products you have bought.

  • Consent – when you sign up to my email list or agree to certain cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

  • Legitimate interests – to run and improve my website and ministry, prevent fraud, and protect my rights, as long as this does not override your rights.

  • Legal obligation – to keep certain records for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements.

4. How I use your data

I use your personal data to:

  • Process your orders – take payment, deliver your books or resources, send order confirmations and updates.

  • Provide customer support – respond to your questions, requests, or complaints.

  • Send email updates – if you have joined my mailing list, I may send you newsletters, ministry updates, new releases, offers, or event information. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in each email.

  • Improve the website and content – understand which pages are visited, what content is helpful, and how the site is used.

  • Keep the site secure – help detect and prevent fraud or misuse.

I do not sell your personal data to third parties.

5. Cookies and analytics

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Make the site work properly (for example, keeping items in your cart).

  • Remember your preferences (such as language or cookie choices).

  • Understand how visitors use the site (basic analytics).

Analytics may be provided by third parties (for example, tools offered by my website platform or other providers). These tools help me see general trends, such as which pages are most visited, but I do not use them to identify you personally.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable some cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly.

6. Payments and third‑party services

When you make a purchase, your payment is processed by third‑party payment providers (for example, card processors or digital wallets) and/or the e‑commerce platform that powers this site.

  • I do not receive or store your full payment card details.

  • These providers process your payment data securely and only for the purpose of completing your transaction.

Other third‑party services may also be used to host the website, send emails, manage newsletters, or provide analytics. They only receive the data they need to provide their service and are required to protect it.

7. Data sharing

I may share your personal data with:

  • Service providers who help run the website, process payments, deliver orders, send emails, or provide analytics.

  • Professional advisers (such as accountants or legal advisers) where needed.

  • Authorities or regulators if required by law, or to protect my rights or the rights of others.

These third parties are only allowed to use your data for the services they provide to me and must keep it secure.

8. International transfers

Some of my service providers may be located outside the UK or the European Economic Area (EEA). This means your personal data may be stored or processed in countries that have different data protection laws.

When this happens, I take steps to make sure your data is protected, for example by using contracts approved under UK data protection law or working with providers that have appropriate safeguards in place.

9. How long I keep your data

I keep your personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • Orders and purchases: kept for as long as needed to manage your order and for legal and tax reasons (usually up to 6–7 years).

  • Email list / newsletter: kept until you unsubscribe or I no longer send the newsletter.

  • Contact messages: kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards.

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

10. How I protect your data

I use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. However, no system can be completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security of information sent over the internet.

11. Your rights under UK GDPR

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access – ask for a copy of the personal data I hold about you.

  • Rectification – ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Erasure – ask me to delete your data in certain situations (“right to be forgotten”).

  • Restriction – ask me to limit how I use your data in certain cases.

  • Data portability – ask for your data in a structured, commonly used format, in some cases.

  • Object – object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing.

  • Withdraw consent – where I rely on consent (for example, for newsletters), you can withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details below. I may need to confirm your identity before responding.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK data protection authority:

Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
Website: https://www.ico.org.uk

12. Children’s data

This website is not aimed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided me with personal data, please contact me so I can delete it where appropriate.
