Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Omar of the Orient ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website omaroftheorient.com. This page explains what information we collect when you place a pre-order, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
Information We Collect
When you place a pre-order, we collect the following information:
- Full name
- Email address
- Shipping address (street, city, state/province, postal code, country)
- Name(s) to be printed in the book (if provided)
- Payment information — processed securely by our payment processor; we do not store card numbers
How We Use Your Information
- To process and fulfill your pre-order
- To send you your order confirmation email
- To send you updates about the book's progress and publication
- To ship your physical book to the address you provided (expected April 2027)
- To send you your shipment tracking number once your order is dispatched
- To print your name in the book if you provided one
Payment Processing
All payment transactions are processed by third-party payment processors. We do not store, log, or have access to your full credit card number, CVV, or card expiration date. These details are handled entirely by our payment processors, which are PCI-DSS compliant.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party. Your information is only shared with:
- Our payment processors, to complete your transaction
- Our shipping carrier, to deliver your book and provide tracking updates
Import Duties & Customs
For international orders, your shipping address and name may be included on customs documentation as required by law. We do not collect or remit import duties, VAT, or customs fees on your behalf — these are the responsibility of the recipient and are determined by local customs authorities.
Data Retention
We retain your order information (name, email, shipping address, transaction ID) for as long as necessary to fulfill your order and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing us.
Emails
By placing a pre-order, you agree to receive transactional emails (order confirmation, book updates, shipping notification). You can unsubscribe from update emails at any time by replying to any email and requesting removal.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email below.
