Privacy policy

What I collect

What you send me. When you fill in a form or apply, I get your name, your email and your answers. The form also tells me which page you arrived on and which link or ad brought you.

Call bookings. When you book a call, Calendly gives me your name, your email, your time zone and anything you add.

Visit statistics. Google Analytics records which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are (country and city), what device they use and how they found the site. It uses cookies. It does not tell me who you are.

Ad measurement. The application page carries the Meta Pixel. It tells Meta (Facebook and Instagram) when someone views that page, sends an application or books a call, so I can see which ads work. Meta may connect that to your Facebook or Instagram account, and it may receive a scrambled copy of the email you enter in order to do that. My Calendly booking pages report visits and bookings to Meta in the same way. The Pixel on this site does not load if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal.

What every website sees. Cloudflare hosts this site and Google supplies its fonts. Both see your IP address and browser type when a page loads.

What I use it for

• To reply to you and work out whether one of my programs fits
• To see which pages and ads are working
• To show my ads to people who are likely to find them useful

I do not sell your information to anyone.

Who else handles it

These companies process it for me: Cloudflare (hosting, and delivering and storing the forms), Formspree (a backup for form delivery), Google (email, analytics, fonts and video calls), Calendly (bookings) and Meta (ad measurement). Most of them are in the United States, so your information may be stored outside Canada and outside your own country.

How long I keep it

Messages and applications stay in my inbox and in my form records until I delete them or you ask me to. Google and Meta keep visit and ad data for the periods set in their own policies.

Your choices

• See, correct or delete what I hold. Email me and I will do it.
• Opt out of Google Analytics. Install Google's opt-out add-on.
• Limit ad tracking by Meta. Change the ad settings in your Facebook or Instagram account, or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser, which stops the Pixel on this site.
• Block cookies. You can do that in your browser settings, and the site will still work.

If you become a client

Working together means I see your ad accounts and sales reports. How I handle your data covers that.
