When a book(s) is purchased by you using one or more of our payment gateway service providers, or any other online or mobile payment services provider we may use (including via app stores), the following payment information will be collected.
This payment information is stored by our payment gateway providers and associated with this payment merchant name ID and location is generated which our payment gateway providers provides to us. Together with a unique customer ID which we share with them, this payment information is never stored or processed by us. The payment gateway service providers will send us a unique transaction ID that would be associated with your unique customer ID (information provided to us). In this way we know that you paid the subscription fee for the selected services. We keep this information for our internal accounting purpose because we have a legal obligation to do so.
Third party fraud detection software may be used by our payment gateway providers which analyse your payment information in order to ensure automated decisions as to whether payment from you will be accepted or not. If any of your transactions are declared fraudulent, you may contact us and contest the fraud decision made against you (account).
When you pay for your book(s)/ebook(s) via Google Play Store your payment information is directly collected and controlled by them. However, we receive an invoice from the third party for your purchase of book(s)/ebook(s) and these invoices are stored by us, as we have a legitimate business interest to keep them for our internal accounting and taxation purposes, and to comply with the legal obligation as per any applicable laws including any audits, legal proceedings and/or investigations.

This allows us to enter into a contract with you as well as promptly resolve your queries.
