Privacy Policy

Information we collect

When you request the free checklist, we collect the first name, email address, primary market selection, consent status, consent time, and available connection information such as an IP address.

Our hosting provider may also process routine technical information, including request time, device or browser details, referring page, and diagnostic or security logs.

We record anonymous checklist funnel events for page views, form starts, successful submissions, and downloads. These events do not contain names, email addresses, market selections, form values, or advertising cookies.

How we use information

• Deliver the requested checklist and related educational emails.
• Maintain consent, unsubscribe, and suppression records.
• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
• Respond to support, privacy, and account requests.
• Meet applicable legal, compliance, and fraud prevention duties.

Email choices

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in each message. You may also contact us at support@sootyedge.com. We may retain a limited suppression record so we can honor your choice.

Service providers and disclosures

We use service providers that process information for us, including MailerLite for subscriber and email automation services and Vercel for website hosting and delivery. They may process information only as needed to provide their contracted services and support security and compliance.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a business reorganization. We do not sell personal information or share it for behavioral advertising across different contexts.

Retention and security

Mailing list information is generally retained while you remain subscribed and afterward only as needed for suppression, security, dispute, and legal records. Operational logs are retained according to our providers' and our operational needs.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including encrypted transmission and restricted access. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection regarding personal information. You may also withdraw email consent at any time without affecting earlier processing.

Send a request to support@sootyedge.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may also have the right to contact your local privacy regulator.
