The 7 Masters

Draft for Steve’s review — not yet approved

Privacy Policy

Last updated: [date at go-live]

This policy explains what the7masters.com collects, why, and what you can do about it. The site is run by Steve Padgett in Mount Vernon, Washington, as a personal-growth project. It is separate from my CPA practice.

What I collect

  • Newsletter: if you join the list, your first name and email address. These are stored with my email provider, Kit (ConvertKit), and used only to send new essays and videos from The 7 Masters. Kit uses a confirmation email (double opt-in), and every email has an unsubscribe link.
  • Contact form: your name, email address, and message. The form sends them to me by email so I can reply. I don’t add contact-form senders to the newsletter.
  • Basic server logs: like most websites, the hosting server records technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, for security and troubleshooting.

What I don’t do

  • I don’t sell or rent your information.
  • I don’t add you to any tax, accounting, or business mailing list from this site.
  • I don’t run advertising trackers on this site.

Third-party services

  • Kit (ConvertKit) handles the newsletter.
  • YouTube videos are embedded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. When you play a video, YouTube may set cookies under its own policy.
  • Google Fonts provides the typefaces, which means your browser requests font files from Google.

Cookies

The site itself uses only the cookies WordPress needs to work. Embedded services may set their own cookies as described above.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email. To ask me to delete your information or to ask a question about this policy, use the contact page.

Changes

If this policy changes, I’ll update this page and the date above.
