For the First AI Side Hustle website and digital workbook

1. Who we are

This website and the First AI Side Hustle digital workbook are operated by Angus Ferguson, trading as “First AI Side Hustle” (“we”, “us”, “our”). For data-protection purposes, we are the controller of personal data that we collect or use for our own purposes.

Privacy enquiries can be sent to [email protected].

2. What this policy covers

This policy explains how we handle personal data when you visit our sales website, contact us, purchase the workbook through Gumroad, or otherwise interact with us. Gumroad separately processes information for checkout, payment, tax, fraud prevention, receipts and other services under its own privacy terms.

3. Personal data we may collect

- Website and device information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, and technical logs needed to operate and secure the website.

- Purchase and customer information made available to us through Gumroad, such as your name, email address, product purchased, order date, and purchase status. We do not receive or store your full payment-card details.

- Information you send us when you contact support, including your email address, message content and any files or screenshots you choose to provide.

- Marketing preferences, if we later offer an optional mailing list or similar service and you choose to subscribe.

4. Why we use personal data and our lawful bases

We use personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

- To operate, maintain and secure the website - our legitimate interests in running a reliable and secure website.

- To provide customer support and help you access the product you purchased - performance of a contract and/or our legitimate interests in supporting customers.

- To keep appropriate business, tax, fraud-prevention or compliance records - compliance with legal obligations and our legitimate interests in protecting the business.

- To respond to privacy-rights requests, complaints or legal claims - compliance with legal obligations and our legitimate interests.

- To send optional marketing communications - consent, where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Gumroad purchases

Purchases are completed through Gumroad. Gumroad acts as merchant of record for the transaction and handles checkout, payment processing, applicable indirect taxes, receipts and first- line transaction support. Gumroad may also process certain buyer information on our behalf where it stores or provides customer information that we use for our own purposes. Please review Gumroad’s own Privacy Policy for details of Gumroad’s processing.

6. Other service providers

We may use service providers to operate the website and product, including our website/funnel platform (HighLevel), Gumroad, hosting and security providers, and professional advisers where necessary. We only share personal data to the extent reasonably required for the relevant service, legal obligation, or legitimate business purpose.

7. International transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where data- protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we rely on an applicable adequacy decision or other recognised safeguards, such as approved contractual protections, as appropriate.

8. How long we keep information

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including support, security, accounting, legal and dispute-resolution purposes. Retention periods may vary by data type. Gumroad keeps transaction information according to its own legal and operational retention requirements.

9. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to your personal data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, and data portability. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. These rights can be subject to legal exceptions.

To exercise a privacy right, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

10. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we use your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue. If you are in the UK, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

11. Cookies and similar technologies

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our separate Cookie Policy. If we introduce non-essential analytics or advertising technologies, we will update our disclosures and consent controls as required before using them.

12. Third-party links

The website may link to third-party websites or services, including Gumroad. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Their own privacy notices apply when you use their services.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services, providers or legal obligations change. The current version will be made available from the website and the “Last updated” date will be revised.
