Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

1. Controller

The controller of your personal data is Eric, the operator of Eric Empire (ericempire.com). Contact: ericempire@proton.me.

2. What data we collect

• Contact and account data: name, email address.
• Order data: products bought, price, date, order number, billing country.
• Payment data: processed by Shopify and payment providers. We do not see or store full card numbers.
• Usage data: IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and course progress stored in your browser.
• Messages you send us.

3. Why we use it and on what legal basis

• To process your order and give you access to your playbooks (performance of a contract).
• To keep accounting and tax records (legal obligation).
• To answer your questions and handle complaints (contract and legitimate interest).
• To protect the website against fraud and abuse (legitimate interest).
• To send newsletters or offers only if you agreed to receive them (consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
• Analytics and advertising cookies only where you gave consent.

4. Who we share data with

Our store runs on Shopify, which hosts the website and processes orders and payments. We also share data with payment providers, email delivery services, and our accountant or authorities where the law requires it. We do not sell your personal data.

Some providers, including Shopify, may process data outside the European Economic Area. In that case appropriate safeguards are used, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. Cookies

We use necessary cookies to run the store, the cart and your login. Analytics and marketing cookies are used only with your consent, which you can give or refuse in the cookie banner and change later in your browser settings.

6. How long we keep data

Account and order data are kept as long as you have access to your playbooks and then as long as required by accounting and tax laws (usually up to 10 years for tax documents). Marketing data are kept until you withdraw consent.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, correct it, have it deleted, restrict or object to processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. To use these rights, email ericempire@proton.me. You can also lodge a complaint with the Czech data protection authority (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů, www.uoou.cz) or the authority in your country.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No online service can guarantee complete security.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The current version is always published on this page.
