1. Introduction

Welcome to Language Alchemist, a division of Alchemy Theatre (Pty) Ltd. I am committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or my practices regarding your personal information, please reach out via my contact form.

2. Information I Collect

I collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you express an interest in obtaining information about my services, downloading my software, or participating in my mailing list. The personal information I collect depends on the context of your interactions with the website and can include the following:

• Contact Forms: Names and email addresses provided via contact or inquiry forms.
• Mailing List: Names and email addresses for newsletter distribution.
• Order Forms: Information related to your manuscript, genre, and blurb requirements when submitting a service request.

3. Payment Processing

I do not process or store credit card information directly on this website. All payments for services and software are handled securely through trusted third-party payment processors (including Yoco, Wise, and Gumroad). Please refer to their respective privacy policies regarding how they handle your financial data.

4. Serious About Series (Software Privacy)

As an author, I respect the sanctity of unreleased manuscripts. The Serious About Series application is designed to operate 100% locally on your machine. The software does not transmit your story data, character profiles, or plot threads to the cloud, nor does it use your data to train AI models. The "Story Sifter" runs on a local grammatical code engine. Your world remains entirely yours.

5. How I Use Your Information

I use the information collected via this website primarily to:

• Communicate with you regarding service inquiries, manuscript editing, and blurb writing.
• Send you marketing and promotional communications (if you have opted into the mailing list). You can opt out at any time.
• Fulfill and manage your software and service orders.

6. Sharing Your Information

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. I only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.
