We may receive information about you from third-party services you connect or authorize, such as payment processors, email service providers (Kit/ConvertKit), and community platforms (Skool).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Deliver the services you signed up for, including email courses, guides, and coaching content
  • Send transactional emails such as course lessons, purchase confirmations, and community updates
  • Send marketing communications about new content, products, or offers (you can unsubscribe at any time)

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party providers who process data on our behalf, including:

  • Kit (ConvertKit) — email delivery and list management
  • Skool — community platform hosting
  • Vercel — website hosting and infrastructure
  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) — secure payment handling
  • Google — analytics and advertising services

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to provide services to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Bootstrapper's Paradise, our users, or others.

Business Transfers

If Bootstrapper's Paradise is acquired or merges with another entity, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent website notice before your data is subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Email Communications

When you download a free guide, sign up for our email course, or make a purchase, you will be added to our email list. We use Kit (ConvertKit) to manage email communications.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email. Transactional emails (such as purchase receipts or community notifications) are not subject to unsubscribe requests but will cease when your account or subscription ends.

We tag subscribers based on interests and actions (e.g., which guide was downloaded) to send relevant content. We do not share your email address with third parties for their marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience and analyze traffic. Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function properly
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Advertising cookies — used for Google Ads campaigns to measure ad effectiveness and show relevant ads

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality. We honor Do Not Track signals where technically feasible.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active, as long as needed to provide our services, or as required by law. Email subscribers are retained on our list until they unsubscribe or request deletion. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 8).

7. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. These include:

  • HTTPS encryption on all web pages
  • Secure third-party payment processing (we never store full payment card details)
  • Limited access to personal data by team members on a need-to-know basis

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt out of marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address listed in Section 10. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

10. International Users

Bootstrapper's Paradise is operated in the United States. If you are accessing our services from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA): If our email list grows to include significant EU-based subscribers, we will update this policy to address GDPR requirements. In the meantime, you may contact us with any data access or deletion requests.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated date, and by sending an email notification to active subscribers where appropriate.
