Privacy Policy
How Boilerlykit handles personal data when you browse, buy a template, or contact support.
1. Data Controller
The data controller responsible for your personal data is Abdelkader settah, a sole trader residing in Algeria, trading as Boilerlykit.
The Service is available to buyers worldwide. Depending on your country of residence, different data-protection laws may apply to our processing of your personal data. Notably:
- For residents of the European Union and European Economic Area, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to our processing by virtue of its extraterritorial scope under Article 3(2).
- For residents of the United Kingdom, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply on the same basis.
- For residents of Algeria, Algerian Law No. 18-07 of 10 June 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data applies.
Other local privacy laws may also apply depending on where you live. This Privacy Policy is written to meet the standards of the above regimes.
2. Scope

We do not sell personal data and we do not use it for behavioural advertising.
5. Legal Bases (EEA / UK)
If you are in the EEA or the UK, we process personal data under the following legal bases, depending on the activity:

6. Third Parties & Sharing
We share personal data with service providers only as needed to operate our business:
- Merchant of Record: Polar Software, Inc. (3500 South DuPont Highway, Dover, DE 19901, United States). Polar processes buyer data at checkout for payment, billing, tax, fraud-prevention, invoicing and customer-support purposes. Polar acts as an independent data controller for this activity under GDPR. For account, API and infrastructure data that Polar holds on our behalf, Polar acts as our processor under a Data Processing Addendum incorporating the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2) and the UK ICO International Data Transfer Addendum for transfers outside the EEA/UK. Polar's sub-processors include Stripe (payments), AWS, Vercel, Render, Resend, Numeral (tax), ChargebackStop, PostHog, Sentry, Pydantic Logfire and Plain.

For privacy requests relating to data held by Polar, contact privacy@polar.sh.
- GitHub, Inc. (United States). When you purchase a template, Polar invites the GitHub account you nominate as a collaborator on the corresponding private repository under the `boilerlykit` GitHub organisation. Your GitHub username and the fact of the invitation are processed by GitHub under its own privacy notice.

We may also disclose personal data if required by law, to respond to lawful requests from public authorities, or to protect our rights, users, and the public.
7. International Data Transfers
We are based in Algeria. Our processors and Polar (our Merchant of Record) are located primarily in the United States. When personal data of EU, EEA or UK residents is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we rely on transfer mechanisms recognised under GDPR Article 46, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the UK ICO's International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA). Polar's Data Processing Addendum, which incorporates the SCCs (Module 2) and the UK IDTA, is published at https://polar.sh/legal/data-processing-addendum. For Algerian-resident personal data, cross-border transfers are handled in line with Law No. 18-07 and any guidance issued by the Autorité Nationale de Protection des Données Personnelles (ANPDP). A copy of the relevant safeguards is available on request to dpo@boilerlykit.com.
9. Data Security
We use commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including TLS in transit, access controls on admin systems, and vendor-selection due diligence. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
