Refund Policy

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on this book. If you're not satisfied for any reason, you're entitled to a full refund within 30 days of your purchase — no hard feelings.

How to request a refund

Email hello@lifeinthephilippines.com within 30 days of your purchase, including the email address or receipt details you used at checkout. We'll process your refund to your original payment method.

How refunds are handled

Purchases are processed by our payment provider, Gumroad. Refunds are issued through Gumroad to the original payment method and typically appear within a few business days, depending on your bank or card issuer. Because this is a digital product, no physical return is necessary; access to the download may be withdrawn once a refund is issued.

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data we handle when you visit this site or buy the book, why, and your rights. We are the data controller. You can reach us at hello@lifeinthephilippines.com.

What we collect and from where

Why we process it (lawful basis)

To deliver the product you bought and provide support (performance of a contract), and to keep the site secure and working (legitimate interests). Where required, processing is based on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Who we share it with

Only the service providers needed to run this: our payment processor (Gumroad), our host (Cloudflare), and our font provider (Google). Some of these providers may process data outside the European Economic Area under appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal data.

Your rights

Under the GDPR and similar laws, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and may object to or request restriction of certain processing, or request portability. To exercise any of these, email hello@lifeinthephilippines.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Retention

We keep purchase and contact records only as long as necessary to provide support, meet legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes.
