Otikos Publishing House, LLC (“Otikos,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates otikospress.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information when you visit our website, purchase publications, contact us, or subscribe to our communications.

Information We Collect,

Information You Provide

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and billing or shipping address.

• Order information, including the publications you purchase, order totals, shipping selections, and order history.

• Messages and other information you submit through contact forms, email, reviews, or other website features.

• Subscription preferences if you sign up for publication announcements or other communications.

• Account information if you choose to create an account through an available website feature.

Please provide only information relevant to your purchase or inquiry. Do not send payment-card details, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other sensitive information through our contact form or ordinary email.

Payment information

Payments are processed through the payment services available at checkout. Those providers handle your payment credentials according to their own privacy and security practices.

Otikos receives transaction information needed to manage your purchase, such as payment status, transaction identifiers, and billing details. This policy does not ask you to provide payment-card information directly to us outside the checkout process.

Information collected through the website

Our website and its service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information, such as:

• Your IP address and approximate location derived from it.

• Browser type, device information, and operating system.

• Pages visited, referring pages, and interactions with website features.

• Cookie identifiers and similar technical information.

The information collected depends on the features and services in use and, where applicable, your privacy choices.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

• Process payments and fulfill orders.

• Arrange printing, shipping, tracking, replacements, and refunds.

• Send order confirmations and other purchase-related communications.

• Respond to questions and provide customer support.

• Manage subscriptions and send communications you request.

• Maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve our website.

• Understand how visitors use our website, subject to applicable privacy choices.

• Maintain business, accounting, and tax records.

• Prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.

How We Share Information

We share information as reasonably necessary to operate our website and publishing business.

Website hosting and store services

Our website is hosted on Wix. Information submitted through the website may be stored and processed through Wix’s systems and the applications used to operate our store.

Printing and delivery

For print-on-demand orders, we provide Lulu and the service providers involved in fulfillment with information needed to print and deliver your purchase. This may include your name, shipping address, order details, and contact information needed for delivery or order updates.

Payments and business services

Information may be processed by payment providers and providers supporting functions such as email delivery, customer communications, accounting, website security, and technical support.

Legal requirements and protection

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process, investigate fraud or security incidents, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Otikos, our customers, or others.

Service providers may also process certain information under their own privacy policies and legal obligations. You can consult Wix’s and Lulu’s privacy policies on their respective websites.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support functions such as maintaining a shopping cart, remembering preferences, and protecting the website.

Depending on the services enabled, additional technologies may be used to measure website activity or support marketing features.

Where a cookie banner or privacy-settings tool is available, you can use it to manage the choices presented. You can also manage cookies through your browser. Blocking certain cookies may affect checkout or other website functions.

Where applicable law requires consent for nonessential technologies, we will request that consent before using them.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to Otikos announcements or other marketing communications, we will use your contact information to send those communications. You can unsubscribe using the link in a marketing email or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not stop necessary communications about an order, refund, shipping issue, or other transaction.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including fulfilling orders, providing support, maintaining required records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods vary by the type of information and the reason it is held. Some information may remain in backups for a limited period after removal from active systems.

Information Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to our business to help protect personal information. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

If a security incident requires notice under applicable law, we will provide that notice as required.

Your Privacy Choices and Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with you. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have additional rights concerning how your information is used or disclosed.

We will respond as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Certain records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, or transaction-related reasons.

You can also:

• Unsubscribe from marketing emails.

• Manage cookies through available website controls and your browser.

• Ask us to update inaccurate contact or order information.

Please do not send sensitive identity documents unless we specifically request a suitable verification method.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Processing Outside Your Location

Our service providers may store or process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from those where you live.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may link to third-party websites. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies, not this policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on this page and update its effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or request consent.
