1. Who we are
FE Tactical Press ("we", "us", "our") operates the website https://www.feotherdisciplines.com and the FE Other Disciplines Simulator ("the Service"). We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.

- Support communications: any messages you send to our contact email.
2.2 Data generated by your use of the Service

2.4 Payment data
We do not store payment card details. All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. Stripe may collect your card number, billing address, and payment method. See stripe.com/privacy. We receive from Stripe only: a transaction ID, the product purchased, and your email address.
3. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your data under the following legal bases:
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): exam activity data, account data — necessary to provide the Service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): error monitoring, security logs, fraud prevention — necessary to operate a secure service.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): analytics cookies (PostHog) — only after you accept via the cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): transaction records kept for tax and accounting compliance.
4. Third-party sub-processors
We use the following sub-processors. Each is bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) where required by GDPR.

8. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, contact us immediately and we will delete it.
9. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures: passwords hashed with bcrypt, data in transit encrypted via TLS 1.3, database access restricted by row-level security (Supabase RLS), API keys stored as environment variables and never exposed client-side. No security measure is 100% guaranteed; we will notify you and relevant authorities of any breach as required by GDPR Art. 33–34.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices change or when required by law. We will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before material changes take effect. The "Effective date" at the top of this page will always reflect the current version.
