Transparent data management practices engineered to protect your personal details, secure digital manuscripts, and uphold international regulatory data mandates.
Effective Revision: June 18, 2026
1. Introduction & Core Data Commitment
At Sankofa Self-Publishing Ltd, protecting your privacy is central to our operational principles. This Privacy Policy explains transparently how our publishing systems gather, encrypt, store, and utilize information collected from authors, readers, and platform visitors. We handle your information with care, aligning our protective architecture with globally recognized frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
2. Categories of Information We Collect
We collect only the specific data segments required to process your literary purchases, generate distribution metadata, and host secure application components. This information includes:
Personal Records
Identifiable data provided during profile creation, including legal names, email links, delivery destinations, and tokenized billing inputs required for processing payouts.
Usage Data
Automated system event records detailing your browser types, network addresses, session navigation timelines, store interactions, and platform settings.
Author Asset Data
Digital files uploaded by users, including text manuscripts, graphical book covers, publication structural outlines, metadata catalogs, and copyright declarations.
3. Detailed Operational Data Guidelines
Select from the technical frameworks below to view precise structural specifications regarding our protection systems, user permissions, and regulatory alignment:
Sankofa processes user records to drive our production publishing systems, run multi-currency sales portals, maintain author dashboards, and handle global bookkeeping structures.
Additionally, processing metrics help our development teams monitor for system errors, fix page performance layout issues, stop fraudulent account setups, and fulfill administrative compliance mandates under standard corporate regulations.
Sankofa does not sell, lease, trade, or distribute your personal details to external marketing agencies or third parties.
Information is shared exclusively with trusted integration partners to perform specific platform tasks. These include payment gateway processors, cloud database hosting networks, global book distribution channels, and regional print production warehouses. All partners are contractually required to maintain strict confidentiality and comply with global data regulations.
Our tech stacks enforce rigorous physical, managerial, and digital safeguards. All transactional exchanges use industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/SSL) encryption. Account passwords are secure, hashed using advanced cryptographic algorithms, and database nodes are enclosed within firewall configurations with strict role-based access management.
Regardless of your geographic location, Sankofa provides clear choices over your personal details. If you live within the European Union or California, you maintain explicit rights to request data access, demand correction modifications, or request the total deletion of your profile history from our live server clusters.
To enforce these rights or opt-out of notifications, please file an official request ticket through our data resolution desk.
4. Cookies & Persistent Tracking Frameworks
We use text cookies and pixel identifiers to remember your dashboard choices, keep session validation active, track purchase preferences, and analyze system performance metrics. You can modify or completely disable cookie tracking using your personal browser privacy controls. Note that limiting essential functional cookies may affect page interactions and layout features within your account panel.
5. Children’s Privacy Restrictions
Sankofa services are not structured for, nor directed toward, children under the age of 13. We do not intentionally gather or log identifiable details from underage individuals. If we discover that an account was created by a minor without verifiable parental authorization, our safety teams will delete the profile data immediately.
