Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice explains how Almost Intelligent (“we”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter.

Almost Intelligent respects your privacy and aims to be transparent about our data practices in compliance with laws like the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA. We collect only what we need (email addresses and basic usage data) and never sell your personal information.

Information We Collect

Email Address: You provide this when subscribing to our newsletter. It is used only to send the newsletter and related updates.

Usage Data: We automatically collect non-personal technical data about how you use our site/newsletter (for example, which pages or links you click). We use Google Analytics (and cookies) to gather this data.

Other Data: We do not collect sensitive information (like health, financial, or government ID). We do not collect any personal data beyond your email and the usage metadata noted above.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under age 16. Our services are intended for adults; if you are under 16, please do not subscribe or provide us with personal data.

How We Use Your Information

Sending the Newsletter: We use your email to deliver the newsletter and any subscription confirmations or customer support emails. This is done with your consent when you sign up.

Improving Our Service: We use analytics data (through Google Analytics) to understand how readers engage with our content, so we can improve the site and newsletter. These statistics are always aggregated and anonymous. Google’s terms require us to disclose our use of analytics and cookies in this notice.

Legal and Security: We may use information for legal reasons (e.g., to comply with laws or defend our rights) and to prevent fraud or spam.

Sharing and Disclosure

Service Providers: We use third-party services to operate our newsletter and website. For example, we rely on Beehiiv to manage email subscriptions and send newsletters, and on Google for analytics. These providers are data processors that act on our behalf.

Aggregated Statistics: We may share aggregated, de-identified data with advertisers or sponsors. This data is anonymized and cannot be traced back to any individual. We do not sell or disclose any personal data to advertisers or others. We are not “selling” or “sharing” your personal information under California law.

Legal Requests: We will only share personal data if required by law (e.g., a court order).

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for Google Analytics. Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. They help us count visitors and see how readers use our site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings if you prefer. We also use standard security cookies (e.g. Cloudflare) for site protection.

Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable precautions to protect your data. We store information on secure servers and limit access to authorized personnel. We use encryption (HTTPS) for data in transit.

We retain your email address as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, we will promptly remove your email from our lists. Anonymous usage data (analytics) may be retained longer to analyze trends, but this is in aggregate form only.

Your Rights

EU/UK (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, delete (“right to be forgotten”), restrict or object to processing, request portability of your data, withdraw consent at any time, and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, request access to or deletion of their personal data, correct inaccuracies, and opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information. You have the right to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.

To exercise any rights, make a request via the contact information below. We may ask for verification to ensure privacy.

Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. The “Effective Date” above tells you when it was last revised. If we make material changes, we will notify subscribers. Your continued use of the site or newsletter after the effective date means you accept the updated Notice.
