WHAT I COLLECT
Contact form submissions
When you submit the contact form, I collect your name, email, optional company name, and the message you send. The site also records basic technical information such as your IP address for spam prevention, rate limiting, security monitoring, and troubleshooting. This information is stored in my database, used to reply to you, and used to keep a record of our communication. Contact form notifications and auto-replies are sent through Acumbamail SMTP.
Sample report requests
When you request the sample report, I collect your name, email, optional company, and optional role. The site also records basic technical information such as your IP address and browser user agent for spam prevention, rate limiting, security monitoring, and troubleshooting. This is used to save the lead record, send you the download link for the sample PDF through Acumbamail SMTP, track whether the link was sent and downloaded, and, if you opt in, add you to my email list for occasional updates.
Newsletter list
If you opt in to receive updates when requesting the sample report, your name, email, and company name if provided are added to my Acumbamail mailing list. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email I send.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. GA4 collects usage information about your visit, such as pages viewed, time on site, approximate location, browser type, and device type. This data is processed by Google and is subject to Google's privacy policy.
GA4 only loads if you accept cookies via the consent banner that appears on your first visit. If you decline, no analytics tracking happens.
Server logs
Like every website, my server and hosting provider keep basic technical logs such as IP addresses, request times, pages requested, browser user agent, and error details. These logs are used for security monitoring and troubleshooting. The intended retention for site-controlled logs is 30 days. Hosting-provider logs may also be retained by 20i according to its own hosting policies.
WHAT I DO NOT COLLECT
I do not sell your data to anyone, ever. I do not share it with marketing partners. I do not use it for retargeting ads. I do not track you across other websites.
HOW LONG I KEEP IT
Contact messages: Kept indefinitely unless you ask me to delete them.
Sample report leads: Kept indefinitely unless you ask me to delete the record. Unsubscribing stops email updates, but it does not automatically delete the original lead or download record.
Newsletter subscribers: Kept until you unsubscribe.
Analytics data: Retained according to the GA4 retention settings configured for the property.
Server logs: Intended site-controlled log retention is 30 days. Hosting-provider logs may also be retained by 20i according to its own hosting policies.
YOUR RIGHTS
If you are in the EU, the UK, or any jurisdiction with similar data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal data I have about you
- Ask me to correct it if it is wrong
- Ask me to delete it
- Ask me to export it in a standard format
- Withdraw consent for any processing that relies on consent (like the newsletter)
To exercise any of these rights, email kim@launchpreppers.com. I will respond within 30 days, usually much faster.
DATA PROCESSORS
I use the following third-party services to run Launch Preppers. Each of them processes some personal data on my behalf:
- Acumbamail for sending transactional emails, delivering the sample report link, and managing the newsletter list
- Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection on forms
- Google Analytics for site analytics (only if you accept cookies)
- 20i for web hosting, database hosting, and server logs
Each of these services has its own privacy policy. Where required and available, they are covered by data processing terms or agreements.
