Effective Date: August 17, 2026

   When necessary to provide these services, limited information may be provided to service providers that perform functions on our behalf, as described in this Privacy Policy.

3. How We Collect Information

   We collect information primarily in the following ways:

   A. Directly From You

   For example, when you:

   B. Automatically Through Website Interaction

   Limited technical and website interaction information may be collected as part of operating, securing, maintaining, and troubleshooting the AIP website and its services.

4. How We Use Your Information

   AIP may use collected information to:

   • Create, maintain, and secure customer and member accounts
   • Process purchases and maintain order records
   • Provide access to eligible digital purchases and downloads
   • Arrange production, fulfillment, shipping, and delivery
   • Provide memberships and publishing-related services
   • Respond to questions and customer-support requests
   • Send order, account, security, and service-related communications
   • Send other communications you have requested or consented to receive
   • Manage communication preferences and opt-out requests
   • Maintain ratings and reviews submitted through the AIP platform
   • Protect against fraud, misuse, unauthorized activity, and security threats
   • Improve and maintain website functionality
   • Operate and administer Authentic Intellect Publications
   • Comply with applicable legal obligations
5. Service Providers and Operational Disclosures

   AIP uses outside service providers to perform certain functions necessary to operate our business and provide products and services to customers.

   Depending on the transaction or service requested, information may be provided to service providers for purposes such as:

   • Payment processing
   • Book production and fulfillment
   • Merchandise production and fulfillment
   • Shipping and delivery
   • Email and transactional communications
   • Website hosting, security, and technical operations
   • Other services necessary to complete a customer-requested transaction or service

   We provide only information reasonably necessary for the applicable provider to perform the service requested or to support AIP's operations.

   Providing information to a service provider for these operational purposes is different from selling personal information. AIP does not sell or rent customer personal information to third parties.

6. Payments and Transactions

   When you make a purchase through AIP, information necessary to process the transaction may be provided to our payment-processing service provider.

   AIP maintains transaction and order information necessary to record purchases, provide products or services, maintain customer records, respond to support requests, and administer our business.

   Payment information submitted through a payment processor may also be subject to that provider's own privacy and security practices.

7. Order Fulfillment and Delivery

   Physical products purchased through AIP may be produced, fulfilled, and shipped with the assistance of third-party fulfillment providers.

   Information necessary to fulfill an order may include your name, shipping address, contact information, products ordered, shipping method, and other information reasonably required to produce and deliver the order.

   Digital products may require account, purchase, email, and download information so that AIP can establish and manage the customer's digital access.

8. Email and Other Communications

   AIP may use the contact information you provide to send transactional and service-related communications, including account verification messages, password-reset communications, purchase and order information, digital-access information, customer-support responses, and other communications related to your relationship with AIP.

   Promotional or other optional communications may be subject to separate consent and opt-out choices where applicable.

9. Messaging (SMS) Privacy Policy

   If you opt in to receive SMS messages from AIP, we may collect information associated with those communications, including:

   • Your name
   • Your phone number
   • Account information associated with the communication
   • Messaging consent records
   • Messaging preferences
   • Messaging history
   How SMS Information Is Used

   SMS information may be used to:

   • Send messages you have explicitly opted in to receive
   • Provide requested updates or relevant notifications
   • Manage messaging preferences
   • Process opt-out requests

   You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to an SMS message sent by AIP.

   Important SMS Privacy Statement

   AIP does not share or sell phone numbers, SMS consent records, or related messaging information to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

10. Legal Disclosures

    AIP may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

    • Comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process
    • Respond to lawful requests from courts, government agencies, or authorities
    • Protect the legal rights, property, or interests of AIP
    • Protect customers, members, or other persons
    • Investigate fraud, misuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity
    • Establish, exercise, or defend against legal claims
11. Data Protection

    We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and security measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

    No website, computer system, transmission method, or data-storage system can guarantee absolute security. AIP therefore cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, lost, or otherwise affected by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

12. Communication Preferences and Opt-Outs

    You may manage applicable communication preferences by:

    • Using an unsubscribe option provided in eligible email communications
    • Replying STOP to applicable SMS communications
    • Contacting AIP directly to request an update to your communication preferences

    Certain transactional, account, security, order, fulfillment, or service-related communications may still be necessary when you maintain an account, make a purchase, or request a service from AIP.

13. Policy Updates

    AIP may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website, services, business practices, or legal obligations change.

    When this policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. When appropriate, we may also provide additional notice of material changes.

    We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

    If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, your personal information, or AIP's privacy practices, please contact us.
