Privacy Policy
Effective November 11, 2026
iancourtright.com is run by Ian Courtright. This policy says what the site collects, why, and the choices you have. Questions or requests go to hello@iancourtright.com.
What we collect
- What you send. Your name, email, and anything you write when you use the contact form or book a call.
- How the site is used. With analytics on: pages viewed, the site or link that sent you, browser and device type, screen size, language, time zone and approximate location (country, region and city, worked out from your IP address, which we don't store).
Why we use it
To reply to you and run any work we do together, and to see which pages get read and how people find the site, so we can make it better. We don't run ads. Google Signals and ad personalization are off in Google Analytics, and we never send it your name, email or anything you type into a form.
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it for advertising without your consent.
Cookies and your choices
In most US states, analytics is on when you arrive and you can opt out at any time: use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out and analytics stays off unless you turn it on.
In California and everywhere outside the US, including the EU, the UK and Switzerland, nothing optional runs until you press Accept, and Reject is just as easy. Closing or ignoring the banner is never a yes.
Browsers' Do Not Track setting has no agreed meaning, so the site doesn't change what it does for it. Global Privacy Control is honored as described above.

Opting out or rejecting deletes the analytics cookies and stored touches above.
Who helps run the site
Vercel hosts the site, Convex stores messages and our own analytics, Google runs Google Analytics, and Resend delivers email. They handle data only to provide their service to us. Google Analytics data is kept for the period set in our account, 14 months at most. Everything else is kept only as long as we need it for the reasons above or the law requires, then deleted or anonymized.
Your data
Wherever you are, you can email hello@iancourtright.com to see, correct or delete what we hold about you.
If you're in the EU, UK or Switzerland
Our legal basis is your consent for analytics cookies, and our legitimate interest in answering you (or taking steps you ask for before a contract) for messages and bookings. You can ask to see, correct, delete, restrict or move your data, object to how we use it, or withdraw consent at any time without affecting what came before. You can also complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).
Our providers are mostly in the US. Where a provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (with its UK Extension and the Swiss-US framework), we rely on that; otherwise on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or another safeguard the law allows.
Children
The site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version goes here with a new effective date.
