1. Information We Collect

When you visit The Missing Step (https://the-missing-step.pages.dev/), use our interactive agribusiness calculators, download field worksheets, or authenticate via Google OAuth services associated with our applications (including Faceless), we only collect information necessary to provide the requested service:

• Voluntary Contact & Order Details: Name, email address, institution name, and shipping/billing details when you request institutional review copies, download worksheets, or complete a purchase via Razorpay or Gumroad.
• Google Account / OAuth Information (When Authorized): If you sign in or authorize an application connected to this domain via Google OAuth, we access only the scopes explicitly granted on the Google OAuth consent screen (such as basic profile or authorized workspace/API actions) strictly to execute the user-requested workflow.
• Interactive Calculator Inputs: All financial and capex inputs entered into our on-page calculators (Break-Even Calculator, Bank Loan Packet Builder, and Grant Finder) are processed locally in your browser and are never sold or shared with third parties.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information solely to:

• Deliver purchased digital books, print sets, or free field worksheets;
• Respond to institutional library, university, KVK, and FPO inquiries;
• Operate and improve website performance and user-authorized Google OAuth integrations;
• Comply with applicable legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

3. Data Sharing, Storage & Security

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data or Google user data to third parties. Google user data accessed via OAuth is used strictly in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy (including Limited Use requirements). Payment processing is handled directly by PCI-compliant processors (Razorpay and Gumroad).

4. Data Retention & Deletion

You may revoke Google OAuth access at any time via your Google Account Permissions page, or request deletion of your contact records by emailing us directly.
