Your privacy matters. Here is exactly what this site does with your information.
What We Collect
When you sign up for the Echoes newsletter or download a free book, we collect your first name and email address only.
When you interact with a Facebook Lead Ad connected to this site, Facebook collects your first name, last name, and email address through Facebook's Lead Ad form. We receive and store only your name and email address in our email platform, MailerLite.
When you visit this website, certain technical information is collected automatically through cookies and tracking tools, including your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and pages visited. This occurs when the page loads, before any action is taken by you.
Note on the Containment access form: the "clearance" framing on that page is narrative flavor, not an actual verification process. Submitting your email there is handled identically to any other signup on this site. Your first name and email address are collected and used solely to deliver the file and send the Echoes of Fortune newsletter.
How We Use It
Your name and email address are used solely to send the Echoes of Fortune newsletter and book-related announcements. We will never sell or rent that information.
Information collected through Facebook Lead Ads, including first name, last name, and email address, is used solely to contact you about the Echoes of Fortune newsletter and book releases. It is not shared with any other party or used for any other purpose.
Website usage data collected through cookies and tracking tools is used to understand visitor traffic and to deliver, target, and measure the effectiveness of Facebook advertising campaigns, including Facebook Lead Ads.
Who We Share It With
The following third-party services receive data about your visit to this site or your interaction with our email and advertising platforms:

Cookies and Tracking
This site uses cookies and tracking technologies, including the Meta Pixel placed by Facebook.
