5. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or another jurisdiction that requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following grounds:
6. Payments, Stripe Connect, and Financial Data
6.1 How Payments Work
When a Buyer purchases a digital product from a Seller on Storelib:
- The Buyer enters payment information on the Storelib checkout page powered by Stripe Elements.
- Payment card information is transmitted directly to Stripe's servers. Storelib never receives, processes, or stores your full payment card details.
- Stripe processes the charge and automatically splits the payment: the Seller's share is sent to their connected Stripe account, and Storelib's platform fee is collected as an application fee.
- Stripe handles all PCI-DSS compliance requirements for payment data security.
6.2 Seller Financial Information
To receive payouts, Sellers set up payments with Stripe through Storelib. Stripe collects identity and banking information directly, including banking details, tax identification information, and address. This information is provided to and controlled by Stripe, not Storelib. Storelib receives only limited information such as the Seller's Stripe account ID, verification status, country, payout currency, the last four digits of the payout bank account, and payout history.
6.3 Identity Verification and Biometric Data
Verification is required by law and by the card networks before a Seller can be paid. Storelib's own payout form collects only what Stripe requires of an individual in their country, typically a date of birth, a home address and a phone number, together with the bank account payouts are sent to and the currency the Seller chooses to be paid in. Storelib does not ask for a utility bill or bank statement. Where Stripe accepts an identity document in place of a national identification number, the identity document answers for it; only where the rules of the Seller's country leave Stripe no alternative (for example a United States Social Security number) is the number asked for, and it is passed to Stripe without being stored by Storelib.
Where Stripe requires an identity document, the Seller presents a passport, national identity card or driving licence. In a web browser the check is run by Stripe Identity on Stripe's own screens: Stripe scans the document with the device camera and takes a photograph of the Seller's face, and processes both with automated and biometric technology to confirm that the document is genuine and belongs to the person presenting it. That document image, that facial image and the biometric comparison between them are collected by Stripe directly and never pass through Storelib. In the Storelib mobile application, and anywhere Stripe Identity is unavailable, the Seller instead photographs the document with the camera in the Storelib application; Storelib transmits that photograph to Stripe over an encrypted connection and does not store it, and no facial image or biometric comparison is collected on that path.
Storelib passes the details a Seller types to Stripe over an encrypted connection as they are submitted and does not store them: no identity document, facial image, identification number, date of birth or full bank account number is written to Storelib's databases or logs. Afterwards Storelib holds only the Seller's name, country, verification status and the last four digits of their payout account. Stripe is an independent controller of that data, retains it for the period its own policies and applicable law require, and a Seller may ask Stripe to delete their verification data as described in Stripe's privacy policy. Verification cannot be skipped: without it, Storelib cannot accept payments on a Seller's behalf.
6.4 Dispute Information
When a Buyer disputes a payment, Storelib records the dispute, its reason, its amount and its outcome, together with any evidence the Seller chooses to add, so the dispute can be answered and so both parties have a record of it. Evidence a Seller supplies is shared with Stripe and, through Stripe, with the card networks and the Buyer's bank for the purpose of deciding the dispute.
6.5 Platform Fees
Storelib collects a platform transaction fee on each sale, which varies based on the Seller's subscription plan (Free or Pro). These fees are collected automatically via Stripe Connect's application fee mechanism.
6.6 Stripe's Privacy Policy
Stripe is an independent data controller for the payment and financial data it processes. For details, refer to Stripe's Privacy Policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
7. Analytics, View Tracking, and Cookies
7.1 Native Analytics
Storelib provides Sellers with a built-in analytics dashboard. All analytics tracking is performed natively by Storelib — we do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics service for tracking views on Seller product pages and stores.
Our native analytics system tracks:
- Product page views. With your consent to analytics, a returning visitor is recognised by a cookie so a visit is counted once. Without it, nothing is stored on your device: the pages of one visit are grouped by a code made from your IP address and browser for that store, which changes every day and cannot be turned back into either. Your IP address itself is not stored
- Traffic sources (direct, organic search, social media, email, referral, paid search)
- UTM campaign parameters
- Geographic/country-level data (derived from IP addresses)
- Sales, revenue, and conversion rate metrics
Sellers see only aggregated analytics data and cannot identify individual visitors. Where you have agreed to analytics, we also use Vercel Analytics, which measures traffic and page speed without setting cookies.
7.2 Cookies and Similar Technologies
Necessary cookies are always on. Everything else is off until you choose otherwise, and you can change your choice at any time with the button below or Cookie preferences at the bottom of any page. Your choice is kept for twelve months, then we ask again. We do not use advertising cookies or sell data collected through cookies.

8. Email System and Subscriber Data
8.1 Storelib's Built-In Email System
Storelib provides Sellers with a built-in email system to communicate with their subscribers and customers. This includes newsletters, product announcements, and automated emails. The email system is hosted and operated by Storelib.
8.2 Subscriber Email Collection
Buyers and visitors may voluntarily provide their email addresses to Sellers through Subscribe Bars on Seller stores, OnePage link-in-bio pages, free product downloads (lead magnets), or at checkout. When a visitor subscribes to a Seller's email list, that Seller can view the subscriber's email address in their Storelib dashboard and send them emails through the platform.
8.3 Unsubscribing
Every email sent through Storelib's email system includes a clearly visible unsubscribe link. Subscribers can unsubscribe at any time. Once unsubscribed, the Seller will no longer be able to send them marketing emails through Storelib.
8.4 Email Limits by Plan
The number of emails a Seller can send per month depends on their subscription plan: Free plan: 500 emails/month; Pro plan: 2,000 emails/month. Sellers on a plan that is no longer offered keep that plan's limit while the subscription remains active.
9. How We Share Your Information

9.1 With Sellers (for Buyer Data)
When you make a purchase from a Seller or subscribe to a Seller's email list, the Seller receives your name, email address, purchase details, and any review you submit.

14. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 16 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).

15. Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)

18. "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"
Storelib does not sell your personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA or any other applicable privacy law.

However, if you have any concerns, please contact us at privacy@storelib.com.
18.1 "Do Not Track" Signals
Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, we do not currently alter our data collection and use practices in response to DNT signals. We will update this Privacy Policy if a standard for responding to DNT signals is established.
19. Affiliate Program
Storelib offers an affiliate program that allows users to earn commissions by referring new Sellers to the platform.
