Privacy Policy
How davidbryansmith.com collects, uses, and protects your information — written plainly, without the fine-print games.
Draft — review with counsel before relying on it.
The short version
We collect the information you give us when you join an email list or place an order, plus basic usage data from your visit. We use it to send what you asked for, fulfill orders, and improve the site. We do not sell your information. You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data at any time.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Name and email address — when you fill out an opt-in form or join a free track. These are collected and stored through our email provider, MailerLite.
- Order and billing details — when you buy a product, our store (WooCommerce) and payment processor (Stripe) collect your name, email, billing address, and the items you purchased. Your full card number is entered directly with Stripe and is not stored on our servers.
- Messages you send us — if you email or contact us, we keep that correspondence to respond and follow up.
Information collected automatically
- Usage and device data — pages visited, referring links, browser type, and approximate location, gathered through standard web logs and cookies.
- Cookies — small files stored by your browser to keep the site working, remember your cart, and understand how the site is used.
How we use your information
- To send the emails, free tracks, and updates you signed up for.
- To process, deliver, and support your orders.
- To respond to your questions and requests.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Third-party services we rely on
We share information only with the service providers that help us run the site and fulfill your requests. Each handles your data under its own privacy terms:
- MailerLite — email list management and delivery.
- Stripe and WooCommerce — payment processing and order handling.
- HostGator — website hosting and server infrastructure.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
Email consent and unsubscribing
We only email you after you opt in. Every email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can remove yourself from our list at any time. You can also email us directly to be removed. Unsubscribing from marketing does not affect order-related messages we must send about a purchase you made.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies to keep core features working, remember your shopping cart, and measure general usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function, such as checkout.
How long we keep your information
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected — for example, for the life of your email subscription, or for as long as tax and accounting rules require us to retain order records. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
- Delete your personal information.
- Opt out of marketing emails at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children’s privacy
This website and our products are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
