For the purposes of applicable data protection law, we are the controller of personal information collected through thelinuxshop.net.
Depending on how you use our website, we may collect:
We do not normally receive or store your complete payment card details. Payments may be processed by independent payment providers who process payment information under their own privacy policies.
We may use your personal information to:
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:
When you place an order, we use the information you provide to process your payment, deliver the products you have purchased and provide customer service.
Payment information may be provided directly to the payment provider used during checkout. We may receive transaction identifiers and confirmation that your payment has been successfully completed.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business, including:
We only provide information reasonably necessary for the relevant service or purpose.
Some books displayed on thelinuxshop.net may not be stocked or sold directly by TheLinuxShop Europe. In these cases, we may provide a link to Amazon or another third-party retailer.
When you follow an external link, you leave thelinuxshop.net. Information you provide to Amazon or another third party will be processed by that organisation in accordance with its own privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Some organisations that provide services to us may process personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or the country in which you live.
Where required by applicable data protection law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
This may include retaining information to fulfil orders, provide customer support, maintain tax and accounting records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes and comply with legal requirements.
Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Depending on the law applicable to you and the circumstances, you may have rights including the right to:
You may object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.
To exercise your rights, contact: sales@thelinuxshop.net.
We may send marketing communications where you have given consent or where applicable law otherwise permits us to contact you.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the message or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending messages that are necessary to administer your orders or customer account.
thelinuxshop.net uses or may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed from your computer, tablet, phone or other device.
Some cookies are necessary for the website and online shop to operate properly. These may be used for purposes including:
Where permitted by applicable law, strictly necessary cookies may be used without requesting your consent.
We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use thelinuxshop.net and to help us improve the website.
Where consent is legally required, analytics cookies will not be activated until you have made the appropriate choice through our cookie controls.
These technologies may be used to remember preferences and provide additional website functionality. Consent will be obtained where required.
If we use cookies or similar technologies for advertising, profiling, cross-site tracking or other non-essential purposes, they will only be activated after obtaining consent where applicable law requires it.
Where a cookie preference tool is provided on thelinuxshop.net, you can use it to accept, reject or change your preferences for non-essential cookies.
You can also control cookies using your web browser. Disabling some cookies may affect certain website features.
A link from thelinuxshop.net to Amazon does not mean that Amazon's website forms part of our website.
Once you visit Amazon or another external retailer, that organisation may use cookies and other technologies in accordance with its own policies.
Some links may be affiliate links. Where applicable, additional tracking may be used by the affiliate provider and we will provide appropriate disclosure.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, misuse, loss or disclosure.
No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
If you have concerns about how we process your personal information, please contact us first so that we can attempt to resolve the matter:
Where the GDPR or other applicable European data protection law applies, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in the country where you live or work, or where you believe an infringement has occurred.
We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, services, business practices or legal obligations.
The current version will be published on thelinuxshop.net together with its latest revision date.

These Terms & Conditions apply to purchases made directly from TheLinuxShop Europe through thelinuxshop.net.
Please read these Terms before placing an order.
TheLinuxShop Europe
Website: thelinuxshop.net
Email: sales@thelinuxshop.net
We sell products including:
Some books displayed on thelinuxshop.net may not be stocked by us. In these cases, we may provide a link to Amazon or another third-party retailer where the book can be purchased.
We take reasonable care to ensure product descriptions, images, prices, formats and other information displayed on our website are accurate.
Product images are provided for illustration. The appearance of a physical book may vary slightly because of printing, manufacturing or screen display differences.
If we identify an obvious error in a product description or price, we may correct the information and contact you if it affects an order you have already placed.
Our ebooks are normally supplied in PDF format. Audiobooks may be supplied in MP3, M4B or another format identified on the relevant product page.
Before purchasing, please check that your computer, tablet, phone, ebook reader or other device is capable of opening the stated format.
This does not affect your rights if the digital content itself is faulty, incorrectly described or does not conform to the contract.
When you submit an order through thelinuxshop.net, you are offering to purchase the products shown in your order.
A contract is formed when we accept your order, normally by sending an order confirmation, dispatching physical goods or making purchased digital content available to you.
We may decline or cancel an order where, for example:
If we cancel an order after taking payment, we will refund the amount paid for the cancelled products.
Product prices will be displayed on thelinuxshop.net in the currency shown on the website or product page.
Applicable taxes, delivery charges and other mandatory charges will be shown before you complete your purchase where required.
Payment must be made using one of the methods offered during checkout.
Digital products are normally supplied electronically following successful payment.
Delivery may take place through:
Consumers purchasing at a distance generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. Special rules apply to digital content that is supplied immediately rather than on a physical medium.
Where you request immediate supply of an ebook, audiobook or other digital content during the withdrawal period, we will ask for your prior express consent to begin supply and for you to acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once performance begins.
Where the applicable legal requirements have been satisfied and supply of the digital content has begun, you will no longer have the right to withdraw from the purchase simply because you have changed your mind.
This does not affect your statutory rights where digital content is faulty, not as described or does not conform to the contract.
If you have paid for an ebook or audiobook but cannot access or download it, please contact:
We will make reasonable efforts to restore access or provide a replacement download where appropriate.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, ebooks and audiobooks purchased directly from TheLinuxShop Europe are licensed to you for your own personal, non-commercial use.
You must not, without permission:
Purchasing digital content does not transfer ownership of the copyright or other intellectual property rights in that content.
Physical books will be delivered to the delivery address you provide when placing your order.
Available delivery methods and charges will be displayed during checkout where applicable.
If you are an eligible consumer purchasing physical goods online, you will generally have 14 days from delivery to notify us that you wish to withdraw from the contract without giving a reason.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, contact us with a clear statement that you wish to cancel:
Email: sales@thelinuxshop.net
Please include your name and order number where possible.
After notifying us of your withdrawal, you should return the goods without undue delay and within the period required by applicable consumer law, normally no later than 14 days after notifying us.
Unless we have agreed otherwise or the goods are faulty or incorrect, you are responsible for the direct cost of returning unwanted goods where you were informed of this responsibility before purchase.
Where a valid right of withdrawal applies, we will refund payments due to you, including the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option where required by law.
Any additional amount paid because you selected a more expensive delivery method does not normally have to be refunded.
We may be entitled to withhold reimbursement until the returned goods are received or you provide evidence that they have been sent back, where permitted by applicable law.
A deduction may be made where the value of returned goods has been reduced by handling beyond what is reasonably necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.
Products sold by TheLinuxShop Europe are supplied subject to the statutory consumer rights that apply to your purchase.
If a physical book or digital product is faulty, damaged, not as described or does not conform to the contract, contact us at:
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may be entitled to an appropriate remedy such as replacement, repair, repeat supply, price reduction or refund.
Some books displayed on thelinuxshop.net may contain a link to Amazon or another external retailer because TheLinuxShop Europe does not stock that particular title.
If you follow the link and make a purchase on Amazon or another retailer's website, your purchase is made from that retailer and not from TheLinuxShop Europe.
The retailer's prices, payment terms, delivery arrangements, cancellation rights, returns policy and terms and conditions will apply to that transaction.
TheLinuxShop Europe cannot process a refund or return for an order placed directly with Amazon or another retailer.
Some external links may be affiliate links. Where applicable, TheLinuxShop Europe may receive a commission or other benefit from qualifying purchases made after following such a link.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay. Appropriate affiliate disclosures will be provided where required.
Linux and the names, logos and trademarks of Linux distributions, open-source projects, publishers, software developers and other organisations belong to their respective owners.
Our reference to a Linux distribution, software project or third-party product is descriptive and does not imply sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation unless expressly stated.
Our books and guides are provided for informational and educational purposes.
Linux distributions, software, websites, commands, interfaces and technical procedures may change over time. Screenshots, commands, menu options, URLs and other information may therefore differ from newer versions of the software.
You should maintain appropriate backups of important files and information before making significant changes to a computer, operating system or storage device.
Unless otherwise stated, our original book content, website content, graphics, branding and other materials are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
Nothing in these Terms transfers those rights to you except for any limited personal-use licence expressly provided for purchased content.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Nothing in these Terms removes or reduces any mandatory rights you have as a consumer.
We are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable consequence of our breach of contract or failure to use reasonable care where applicable.
We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control. Where such an event affects an order, we will take reasonable steps to minimise its impact and will continue to respect any mandatory consumer rights that apply.
We may update these Terms from time to time.
The Terms applying to a purchase will normally be those in force when the order was placed, except where a change is required by law.
These Terms do not deprive consumers in the European Union or European Economic Area of mandatory consumer protections available to them under the law applicable in their country.
