Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, purchase our products, or use our digital tools — and how we use, share, and protect that information.
Information We Collect
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
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit borgestype.com, our servers and third-party analytics tools may automatically collect:
- IP address and approximate geographic location
- Browser type, operating system, and device type
- Pages visited, time on page, and referring URL
- Font preview interactions and tool usage within our Type Tester and Showcase widgets
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and local storage to maintain your session and shopping cart, remember preferences, and analyze site traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process and fulfill your orders and deliver license files
- Send order confirmations, receipts, and download links
- Respond to support requests and customer inquiries
- Improve our website, type tester tools, and font products
- Detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized use of our products
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Digital Products & Font Licensing
When you purchase a font license, we retain a record of your purchase including the license type, the font family purchased, and the associated email address. This allows us to verify license ownership, assist with upgrades, and investigate suspected violations.
Our Type Tester and Showcase widgets operate entirely within your browser. Font data is decrypted client-side using our BT Protect system and is never transmitted to our servers during preview sessions. No text you type into our live preview tool is stored or logged.
Sharing Your Information
- Payment Processors — receive billing information necessary to complete your purchase, subject to their own privacy policies
- E-commerce Platform — our site is hosted through Duda, which may process certain technical and session data
- Analytics — anonymized data about how visitors use our site
- Legal Requirements — we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Borges Lettering, our customers, or others
Data Retention
We retain purchase records and license information for a minimum of seven years to comply with tax and accounting requirements. We retain support correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary. You may request deletion of your account information at any time, subject to our legal record-keeping obligations.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Our font files are encrypted using AES-256-GCM with domain-locked delivery. Payment information is processed via PCI-compliant third-party processors and is never stored on our servers.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your information using industry-standard practices.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in any email we send
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: support@borgestype.com
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or marketplaces. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this page. Continued use of our site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
