Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 29, 2026
I believe in being transparent about how I handle your information. This policy explains what I collect, why I collect it, and how you can control it.

What Information I Collect

When you sign up for my newsletter or download my lead magnet:
* Your email address
* Your name
When you visit my website:
* Basic usage information through Fathom Analytics (it’s a privacy-focused service that doesn't track you across the web. It does tell me how visitors came to my site and what pages they visited but I cannot tie that information directly to a specific individual)
* Information about ads ads brought you here (through Google Ads)
When you contact me directly:
* Your email address and whatever information you choose to share in our communication

How I Use This Information

• Email communications: To send you the content you signed up for, occasional updates about my work, and to respond to your messages.
• Website improvement: To understand what content is helpful and how people find my site
• Service delivery: To provide services if we work together.

⠀I do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Cookies and Tracking

I use cookies to:

• Remember your preferences.
• Understand website usage through Fathom Analytics
• Track ad performance through Google Ads (so I know which ads are helpful and relevant)
• Reward myself. Ok, that’s a different kind of cookie. Also, not recommending you copy this particular behavior. If you’ve got a great chocolate chip cookie recipe, btw, email me.

Note: You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site might not work as well if you do.

Your Rights

You can:

• Unsubscribe from my emails anytime (there's a link in every email)
• Request a copy of what information I have about you
• Ask me to delete your information
• Update or correct any information I have

⠀⠀Just email me at steve@stevemccready.com and I'll take care of it.

Data Security

I use reasonable security measures to protect your information, but no internet transmission is 100% secure. I do my best to keep your data safe.

Changes to This Policy

If I make significant changes to this policy, I'll update the date above and let you know via email if you're on my list.
