Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 7, 2026

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller for how-to-start.com is BASE CORE SAS, a company incorporated in France ([Company registration details], [Registered address]). For any privacy question or request, contact us at contact@basecore.fr.

2. What we collect

We collect only what we need to sell and deliver our digital products:

Order data: your email address and the details of your order (product, amount, date). This is required to deliver your purchase and provide support.
Payment data: payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. Stripe processes your payment data under its own privacy policy.
Analytics data: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device type). This data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
Support messages: if you email us, we keep the correspondence to handle your request.

3. How we use your data

To process your order and deliver your blueprint by email.
To send order confirmations and receipts.
To answer your support requests and process refunds.
To improve the site through aggregated analytics.
To comply with legal obligations (accounting, tax, fraud prevention).

We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone. We do not send marketing emails unless you have explicitly agreed to receive them.

4. Who we share data with

We share data only with the service providers needed to run the store: Stripe (payment processing), Google Analytics (site analytics), and our hosting and email delivery providers. Each provider processes data on our behalf and under its own safeguards. Some providers are located outside the European Economic Area; where that is the case, transfers rely on recognized safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

5. Cookies

The site uses cookies that are necessary for it to function (for example, keeping your cart) and analytics cookies from Google Analytics 4. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

6. How long we keep your data

Order records are kept for as long as required by French accounting and tax law. Support correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics settings.

7. Your rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

access the personal data we hold about you;
correct inaccurate data;
request deletion of your data;
restrict or object to certain processing;
receive your data in a portable format;
lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (in France, the CNIL).

To exercise any of these rights, email contact@basecore.fr. We respond within the timeframes required by law.

8. California residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To submit a request, email contact@basecore.fr.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is always available on this page, with the revision date shown at the top.
