Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 October 2026
Apex Arcs (“Apex Arcs”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates apexarcs.pk, where customers can buy physical books and request print-on-demand services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and when we share it.
1. Information we collect
Depending on how you use our website, we may collect:
- Contact and delivery details, such as your name, phone number, email address, billing address and delivery address.
- Order information, such as the books or services you purchase, order notes, order status, returns and customer service messages.
- Account information, if you create an account, such as your login details and saved addresses.
- Payment information. Payments may be handled by a payment provider.
- Print-on-demand materials, including the PDF manuscript, cover file, print specifications and other information you submit so we can produce your book.
- Website and device information, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and information recorded through cookies or similar technologies. The information collected depends on the website tools and settings in use.
Please do not include information in a manuscript or cover file that you do not want us or the people involved in producing your order to handle.
2. How we use information
We use information as needed to:
- take, confirm, process and deliver orders;
- provide print-on-demand services and communicate with you about submitted files;
- process payments, refunds, returns and customer support requests;
- manage customer accounts and order records;
- maintain, secure and troubleshoot our website;
- prevent suspected fraud, misuse or security incidents;
- meet applicable legal, tax, accounting and record-keeping requirements; and
- send promotional messages where permitted and, where required, with your consent. You can unsubscribe from promotional emails using the link in the email or by contacting us.
3. When we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where needed to operate Apex Arcs, fulfil your request, or meet a legal requirement. This may include sharing relevant information with:
- Courier and delivery companies, such as your name, phone number and delivery address, so they can deliver your order and contact you about it.
- Payment providers, to process or verify payments and refunds.
- Our VPS hosting provider, which provides the server infrastructure on which our website and its data are hosted.
- Print or production partners, if a third party is involved in printing, binding, preparing or otherwise fulfilling a print-on-demand order. They receive only the files and order information needed for that work.
- Website service providers, such as providers of security, backups, email, analytics or customer-support tools, if we use them.
- Authorities or other parties, where disclosure is required by law or is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, customers, website or property.
These providers may handle information on our behalf or under their own terms and privacy policies.
4. Print-on-demand files
We use the manuscript, cover and specifications you submit to prepare and produce the book you requested, and to resolve related order or quality issues. We do not use those files to publish or distribute your book to the public unless you separately ask us to do so or give permission.
Access to submitted files should be limited to people who need them to fulfil your order or provide related support.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights and permissions needed for any material you submit. Please do not submit another person’s confidential or personal information unless you have permission or another valid reason to do so.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functions, such as keeping items in your cart, maintaining a logged-in session and processing checkout. Depending on the plugins and services enabled on the site, cookies may also be used for analytics, security or other features.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect the operation of the cart, account or checkout.
6. How long we keep information
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including fulfilling orders, providing support, maintaining business records, resolving disputes and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods can differ by type of information.
When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or remove identifying details, subject to legal, technical and backup requirements.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. No website, server or method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Your choices and requests
You may contact us to ask about personal information associated with you, request a correction, or ask us to delete information where we are able to do so. Some information may need to be retained for completed orders, legal obligations, security, accounting or dispute resolution.
You can also unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time. To make a privacy request, use the contact details in the Contact us section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
9. Children’s privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the request.
10. Third-party websites
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organisations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for them. Please review their policies before providing information to them.
11. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with its updated date. Changes take effect when posted, unless we state otherwise.
