Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 22, 2026
This privacy policy explains how personal information is collected, used, and protected when you visit Ak Leach (https://akleach.zenpage.io). This site is hosted on Zenpage.
Information We Collect
This website collects minimal information. When you visit, standard server logs are generated by our content delivery network (Cloudflare) which may include your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you visit. These logs are used solely for security and performance purposes.
The newsletter signup form sends you to Substack, where you subscribe. This website does not store the email address you enter there.
If you contact the site owner via email, the information you provide in your message is received directly by the site owner.
Ebook purchases. If you purchase an ebook from this site, the transaction is processed by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. Your payment information (card number, billing details) is collected and processed entirely by Stripe and is never transmitted to or stored on this website. We receive only your email address, the purchase amount, and a transaction reference from Stripe in order to deliver your ebook.
How We Use Information
Server logs are used to monitor site performance, prevent abuse, and ensure security. They are not used for tracking, profiling, or advertising.
Newsletter subscriptions are handled by Substack, which sends you updates from this site. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email.
Your email address from ebook purchases is used solely to deliver the download link for your purchased ebook. It is not added to any mailing list or shared with third parties.
