Privacy Policy

This site is run by Scott Bond, a career coach based in Seattle, Washington. Here's exactly what data this site collects, why, and what happens to it. No jargon, no buried fine print.

What Data Is Collected

This site collects data in three ways:

• Contact form submissions — If you fill out the contact form on the homepage, your name, email address, and any message you send are collected. LinkedIn profile URL is optional.
• Analytics data — This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. This includes pages visited, time on site, browser type, and general geographic location. No personally identifiable information is tied to this data.
• Payment data — If you purchase a course or membership, payment is processed entirely by Stripe. This site never sees or stores your credit card information.

How Your Data Is Used

• Contact form data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. It is processed through Formspree and delivered to Scott's email. It is not sold, shared, or used for marketing without your explicit consent.
• Analytics data helps improve the site — understanding which content resonates, where visitors come from, and how the site performs. Google Analytics processes this data under their own privacy terms.
• Payment data is processed and stored by Stripe under their privacy and security policies. You can review Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to track site usage over time. These cookies do not identify you personally. If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Third-Party Services

This site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
• Formspree (contact form) — formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy
• Stripe (payments) — stripe.com/privacy
• Patreon (content subscription) — patreon.com/policy/privacy

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics default settings (26 months). Payment records are retained by Stripe per their standard policies for tax and legal compliance.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data submitted through this site. To make such a request, reach out directly through the contact form.

If you are located in California, Virginia, or another US state with comprehensive privacy laws, you may have additional rights under those laws. If you are in the EU or UK, you may have rights under GDPR. Scott will honor reasonable requests regardless of where you're located.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. No data is knowingly collected from anyone under 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date at the top will be revised. No sneaky retroactive changes.
