Privacy policy
Last updated: November 6, 2025
Welcome to StephenKingdom — our corner of the literary dark, where every parcel and pixel is crafted with the same care we give our stories.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit or make a purchase from stephenkingdom.com (the “Site”).
Our store runs on Shopify, which helps us provide a secure, seamless shopping experience. Wherever the law requires detail, the official Shopify privacy framework applies — and we’ve woven our own transparency around it below.
1. Information We Collect
When you interact with the Site, we may collect:
-
Contact details such as your name, billing and shipping address, email, and phone number.

Payment details (processed securely by Shopify and our payment partners).
-
Order and account information, including items viewed, added to cart, or purchased.
-
Device and usage data, such as your IP address, browser type, and how you navigate the store.
-
Communications, when you email us, subscribe, or leave feedback.
We collect this information directly from you, automatically through cookies and analytics tools, and via our trusted partners (like Shopify and Printify) who help us fulfill orders and operate the Site.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
-
Provide and improve our products and services — from checkout to delivery.

6. Data Security & Retention
No fortress is perfect, but we use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data during transmission and storage.
We keep personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill orders, maintain your account, comply with law, or resolve disputes.
