This Privacy Policy explains how Igor Black ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares personal data when you visit or make a purchase on Igorblack.com (the "Website").
By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. Where we rely on your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies or analytics), we will ask for it separately and you can withdraw it at any time.
Contact details (e.g., name, email address) when you make a purchase or email us for support.
Order details (products purchased, transaction status, receipts/invoices, customer messages).
When you use the Website, we may automatically collect device and usage data such as IP address, device type, browser type, pages viewed, timestamps, referring pages, and security logs. We use this data for security, website functionality, and troubleshooting.
We use third-party analytics services to understand how visitors use the Website. These services may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, clicks, scroll depth, mouse movements, and anonymized session recordings. Specifically, we use:
Google Analytics — collects aggregated usage data (e.g., page views, traffic sources, device information) using cookies. Google may process this data on servers outside your country.
Microsoft Clarity — collects interaction data including heatmaps and anonymized session recordings (e.g., clicks, scroll behavior, mouse movements) to help us improve the user experience. Clarity may use cookies. Microsoft may process this data on servers outside your country.
Where consent is required (for example, in the EU/EEA), these analytics tools are only activated after you provide consent.
Payments on the Website are processed by PayPal, including PayPal guest checkout (card payments through PayPal's flow where available). We receive confirmation details necessary to fulfill your order (for example: transaction ID, payment status, and payer details provided by PayPal). We do not store your full card details on our servers.
PayPal processes your personal data under PayPal's own privacy statement.
We use personal data to process and fulfill your order (deliver digital products, send receipts, provide customer support), communicate with you about your order, downloads, and support requests, protect the Website and prevent fraud/abuse (security monitoring, troubleshooting, and enforcing our terms), analyze Website usage to improve functionality and user experience, and comply with legal obligations (accounting/tax recordkeeping and responding to lawful requests).
We do not run targeted advertising, retargeting, or custom-audience email advertising at this time.
Depending on your location and applicable law, we process personal data on one or more of the following bases:
Contract necessity — to complete your purchase and deliver your digital product.
Legal obligation — to keep required accounting/tax records.
Legitimate interests — to secure the Website and prevent fraud.
Consent — only when required (for example, for non-essential cookies and analytics tools), and you can withdraw it at any time.
If you are in the EU/EEA/UK, the GDPR may apply to our processing where we offer goods/services to individuals in the EU/EEA/UK.
We share personal data only when necessary to operate the Website and fulfill your order, for example with:
PayPal — payment processing and payment confirmation.
Google (Google Analytics) — website usage analytics. Google's privacy policy applies to data processed by Google.
Microsoft (Clarity) — website interaction analytics and session recordings. Microsoft's privacy statement applies to data processed by Microsoft.
Service providers that support Website operations (such as hosting, email delivery, and security providers), who process data on our instructions where applicable.
We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function properly.
We use strictly necessary cookies for Website functionality and security.
We also use analytics cookies set by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the Website. Where consent is required (for example, in the EU/EEA), these cookies are only placed after you provide consent.
If we enable additional non-essential cookies in the future, we will request consent where required and provide a way to refuse or withdraw consent.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Website features.
Your data may be processed in countries other than where you live, including where our service providers operate (for example, PayPal, Google, and Microsoft). These providers may transfer data internationally as necessary to provide their services.
If you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, Russian law may impose additional requirements on how personal data is initially recorded and stored (data localization).
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Order and accounting records are retained for the period required by applicable tax/accounting rules. Support communications are retained as needed to resolve issues and maintain support history. Security logs are retained for a limited time unless needed to investigate abuse or fraud. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention settings of each analytics provider.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
To exercise your rights, email us at russian@igorblack.com. For security, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the competent authority in your country.
If you are in Russia, you may contact the relevant supervisory authority (Roskomnadzor) according to applicable procedures.
If you are in the EU/EEA, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
The Website is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised.
