This Privacy Policy also explains your data protection rights, the categories of information we process, and how to contact us about privacy matters. We process personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection requirements, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

  • Identity & contact data: name, billing address, email address, phone number.
  • Order data: products purchased, license type, order value, order date, order reference.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We share personal data only with the following categories of recipients, strictly as needed to run our business:

  • Payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, or other checkout provider used on the Website) — to process your payment securely.
  • Email/delivery service providers — to send your license and order communications.
  • IT hosting and website providers — to operate the Website and store order records.
  • Microsoft, where required to validate, activate, or register a license on your behalf, consistent with our status as a Microsoft Partner.
  • Advertising partners, including AppLovin Corp., which may collect device and usage data (such as IP address, device identifiers, browser information and interactions with our ads and Website) through its pixel and similar technologies, to measure ad performance and deliver relevant advertising. AppLovin acts as a third party that collects data on our Website, and this only happens where you have consented to advertising cookies. For more information about AppLovin's collection and use of your information visit: https://legal.applovin.com/privacy
  • Professional advisers (e.g. accountants, auditors) and regulators or law enforcement, where required by law.

Where any of these providers are located outside the UK (for example, in the United States), we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, before data is transferred.

5. How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Order and transaction records: retained for 6 years to meet UK tax and accounting obligations.
  • Account/support correspondence: retained for as long as reasonably needed to resolve your query, then deleted or anonymised.
  • Marketing consent records: retained until you withdraw consent, plus a reasonable period to evidence compliance.

We do not keep personal data for longer than necessary for the purposes it was collected.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you;
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • Erase your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to our legal retention obligations (e.g. Section 5);
  • Restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
  • Data portability — receive your data in a portable format;
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent (e.g. marketing emails), without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@golavon.com. We will respond within one month, as required by law.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk, or by phone on 0303 123 1113.

7. Cookies and This Privacy Policy

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember your preferences, and (with your consent) measure site usage. Full details of the cookies we use and how to manage your preferences are set out in our Cookie Policy.

With your consent, we also use advertising technologies provided by third parties such as AppLovin to measure the effectiveness of our ads.

8. Privacy Policy Security Measures

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures — including HTTPS encryption, restricted access to customer data, and use of reputable, PCI-compliant payment processors — to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No online system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we take these risks seriously and review our safeguards regularly.
