Short version: the only personal information we collect is your email address, and only if you choose to sign up for our guides. We use no analytics or tracking cookies, we do not sell your data, and you can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your details at any time.
Who we are
This website, shreddedsystems.com ("Shredded Systems Stack," "we," "us"), is operated as a sole proprietorship. For any privacy question or request, contact us at shreddedsystems@gmail.com. For data-protection purposes, we are the controller of the information described below.
What we collect
- Your email address — only if you submit it through our newsletter sign-up form. That is the only personal detail we ask for. We do not ask for your name, address, or payment details, because we do not sell anything on this site.
- Basic server logs — like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) to keep the site secure and running. We do not use this to identify you.
What we do not do
- We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics or advertising tracking on this site.
- We do not set tracking or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.
Why we use your email, and our legal basis
If you sign up, we use your email address only to send you new training guides and the occasional printable. Our legal basis is your consent, which you give by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.
Who processes your data
- MailerLite delivers our newsletter and stores the email addresses of subscribers on our behalf. Your email is shared with MailerLite for this purpose only. See MailerLite's privacy policy at mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.
- Cloudflare hosts and serves this website and processes the standard server logs described above.
These providers may process data in the United States and other countries. We only share what is needed for them to perform these services.
How long we keep it
We keep your email address for as long as you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, we remove it from our active list.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
- Unsubscribe — every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
- Access, correct, or delete the email information we hold about you — just email shreddedsystems@gmail.com.
If you are in the EU or UK, you have rights under the GDPR, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and the right to object, and you may complain to your local data-protection authority. If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including to know what we collect and to request deletion; note that we do not sell or share personal information as those laws define it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email above.
Children
This site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us their email, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
We link to our books on Amazon and to other external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; their own policies apply once you leave ours.
