When you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect:

We use the information we collect to:

Send you the newsletter and any lead magnets you have requested.
—
Personalize newsletter content (such as using your first name).
—
Understand which content readers find valuable, in aggregate.
—
Respond to your replies and questions.

Comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Full stop.
We use the following third-party services to operate this site. Each has its own privacy practices:
—
Beehiiv — email newsletter platform.
—
Namecheap — domain registrar.

YouTube and Google — video hosting.
—
Affiliate networks (Refersion, Amazon Associates, Awin, etc.) — when you click affiliate links.
This site uses cookies to remember you between visits, to operate the subscribe form, and to track aggregate site usage. Affiliate retailers we link to set their own cookies when you click through. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site may not function correctly without them.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have additional rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA. We will honor those rights upon request.
This site is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, email us and we will delete it.
We retain subscriber information for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter and for 30 days after unsubscription, after which it is permanently deleted from our active systems. Backup retention may extend somewhat longer per Beehiiv's data retention policy.
We rely on industry-standard security practices from our service providers to protect your information. No internet transmission is 100% secure, but we treat any data breach affecting subscriber information seriously and will notify affected subscribers within 72 hours of becoming aware of any breach involving personal data.
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any change. Significant changes that materially affect how we handle your data will be announced in the newsletter.
