Privacy Policy

From You Directly

When you purchase a font or digital product, create an account, or contact us, we may collect:

• Name and email address
• Billing address and payment information (processed securely through our payment processor — we do not store full card numbers)
• License information associated with your purchase
• Messages or support requests you send us

Collected Automatically

When you visit borgestype.com, our servers and third-party analytics tools may automatically collect:

• IP address and general geographic location
• Browser type, operating system, and device information
• Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
• Interactions with our Type Tester and Font Showcase tools (aggregated, not personally identifying)

We use the information we collect to:

• Process your orders and deliver your digital products
• Send you license files, receipts, and transactional emails
• Respond to your questions and support requests
• Improve our website, fonts, and digital tools based on aggregate usage patterns
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or license violations
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for targeted advertising on external networks.

When you purchase a font, we maintain a record of your license, including the licensee name, purchase date, and license type (desktop, web, app, broadcast). This is necessary to verify your license, provide support, and issue replacement files if needed.

Our font protection system (BT Protect) uses encrypted delivery so that preview font data shown in our Type Tester and Font Showcase cannot be extracted. This does not involve tracking you personally — it protects the font files themselves.

Service Providers

We share limited information with trusted third parties who help us operate our business:

• Payment processors(Stripe, PayPal) — for processing purchases
• Website host(Duda) — for hosting borgestype.com
• Email delivery(for transactional emails and support replies)
• Analytics providers(for aggregate usage statistics)

These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only to provide services to us.

We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights of others.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all site transactions, encrypted payment processing through PCI-compliant providers, and limited access to personal information by our team.

No system is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
