Privacy Policy & Terms of Service
Draft, not yet reviewed by a lawyer. This page was drafted to cover the basics of what a Prague-based, EU-operating shop and content site typically needs, and to fill the placeholders in [ brackets ] with your real business details. It should not be treated as final or legally sufficient until a qualified professional has reviewed it, particularly the GDPR and consumer-rights sections.
Who we are
The Lotus Priest and Amenti Alchemy are operated by Ali Odeh, based in Prague, Czech Republic. [ Add legal business name and registration number if trading under one, e.g. a Czech živnostenský list / trade licence number. ]
Contact: magic@thelotuspriest.com. [ Add a business address or registered office if you want one listed; a PO box or virtual office is acceptable for correspondence purposes. ]
What information we collect
- Newsletter signups. Name and email address, collected through forms on this site and processed by our email provider, MailerLite.
- Shop orders. Payment details are entered directly into Stripe's own secure checkout and are never seen or stored by this site. We receive your name, shipping address, email, and order details in order to fulfil your order.
- Ceremony enquiries. Any information you send us by email when enquiring about or booking a ceremony.
- Basic site analytics. [ Add this section once an analytics tool is chosen, e.g. Plausible or Google Analytics, and name it here. Currently: none in use. ]
How we use your information
To send the free Blue Lotus guide and, if you opt in, our newsletter; to fulfil and ship shop orders; to respond to enquiries; and to communicate about ceremonies you have booked. We do not sell or rent your information to third parties.
Third parties we use
- MailerLite — email newsletter delivery and automation.
- Stripe — payment processing for shop orders.
- Netlify — website hosting.
Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data on our behalf.

If you are in the EU/EEA, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can unsubscribe from any email using the link in its footer, or by writing to magic@thelotuspriest.com.
Cookies
[ Confirm current state: if no analytics or tracking cookies are in use beyond what MailerLite/Stripe/Netlify require to function, say so plainly here. If analytics are added later, this section needs a cookie consent banner to match. ]
Terms of Service
Products. Our elixirs are handmade botanical goods, prepared through spagyric alchemy, intended for adults 18 and over. They are not medicines and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
Orders and payment. All prices are listed in EUR on the shop page. Payment is processed securely through Stripe at the time of order.
Shipping. [ Add your actual shipping regions, carriers, and typical delivery times. ]
Returns and refunds. [ Add your actual policy, e.g. whether opened botanical goods can be returned, and the time window for requesting a refund or replacement for damaged/incorrect orders. Czech and EU consumer law generally requires a right of withdrawal for online purchases, with some exemptions for perishable or hygiene-sensitive goods, this is exactly the kind of clause a lawyer should confirm. ]
Ceremonies. [ Add your actual booking, cancellation, and rescheduling policy for ceremonies and retreats. ]
