A careful reply for access denied, permission, or authorization messages on download pages.
Keep these guardrails
- Do not promise access can be restored
- Ask for error text and order lookup details
- Warn against sharing credentials
Do not collect secrets
Ask only for details needed to locate the order record, such as order number, checkout email, device, browser, and visible error text. Do not ask for passwords, one-time codes, private links, remote access, full payment details, or bank information.
