Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

  • An anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. See the Gravatar privacy policy.
  • After approval, your profile picture (if linked via Gravatar) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract location data from website images.

Contact Forms

If you submit a form (such as booking a call, downloading a resource, or contacting us), we collect the data shown in the form along with your IP address and browser information. This information is used for customer service, responding to inquiries, or delivering requested resources.

Email Subscriptions

When you sign up for our newsletter or free resources, we collect your name and email address. This information is used to send you updates, encouragement, business tips, podcast releases, and promotional offers related to our brand.

  • You can unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link in our emails.
  • We will never sell or rent your email address.

Cookies

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience (so you don’t need to re-enter details when leaving another comment).

  • These cookies are temporary or expire on a schedule, typically within days to a year, depending on their purpose.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles, videos, and other content on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, podcasts). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other site directly and may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with that content.

Analytics & Marketing

We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site and improve our content. These tools may collect your IP address, browser type, and site activity.
We may also use tracking pixels (such as Facebook Pixel) for advertising and retargeting.

Who We Share Your Data With

  • Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
  • If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
  • Otherwise, we do not share your personal data with third parties except as necessary to operate our site or comply with legal requirements.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Retained indefinitely (so we can recognize follow-up comments automatically).
  • Registered Users: If you create an account, personal information in your profile is stored until you delete or update it.
  • Newsletter Subscribers: Your data is retained until you unsubscribe.
  • Contact Forms: Stored for customer service purposes but not used for marketing without your consent.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account, left comments, or joined our email list, you may request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Erasure of any personal data we hold about you (except data we’re required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes).
