Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

As a solopreneur educational business, we collect minimal personal information necessary to run this marketing website. The information we collect depends on how you interact with the site.

If you contact us by email, we may collect:

• Your name

Course Purchases:

This marketing website does not sell courses or process payments. Course purchases happen on our separate learning platform, which is governed by its own Privacy Policy and processes payments through Stripe. We do not collect, handle, or store any payment information on this website.

1.2 Information Automatically Collected

Your browser automatically provides basic technical information when accessing our website. This information is collected by our hosting provider in server logs for technical purposes (security, performance monitoring) but is not actively analyzed or used for marketing purposes. This includes:

• IP address (logged temporarily for security, not stored long-term)
• Browser type and version
• Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
• Operating system
• Referring website URL
• Pages visited and time spent

Website Analytics - Simple Analytics:

We use Simple Analytics, a cookie-less, privacy-first analytics provider, to understand how visitors use our website. This tool collects only anonymous, aggregate traffic data (like which pages are popular) and does not collect any personal information or IP addresses.

Simple Analytics is a privacy-friendly analytics tool that:

• Does not use cookies or tracking technologies
• Collects only anonymous, aggregate data
• Does not track individual users across websites
• Does not collect or store personal information or IP addresses
• Is privacy-friendly and complies with US privacy laws

Simple Analytics collects basic anonymous statistics including:

• Pages viewed and navigation patterns (anonymous)
• Referral sources (where visitors come from)
• General device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
• Country-level location (not linked to individuals)

No personal information is collected or stored by Simple Analytics, and the data cannot be used to identify individual users.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/SSL)
• Secure hosting infrastructure (AWS CloudFront + S3)

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. How We Share Your Information

As a solopreneur business, we share your personal information only in limited circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf:

• Share your email address with other creators or businesses

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

5.1 We Do Not Use Tracking Cookies

This marketing website does not use marketing, advertising, or analytics cookies. It is a static site with no sign-in, so we do not set authentication or session cookies either.

Our analytics provider, Simple Analytics, does not use cookies and collects only anonymous, aggregate data that cannot be used to identify individual users.

This means:

• You are not tracked across websites for marketing purposes
• No personal information is collected through marketing or advertising tracking
• Your browsing behavior is private beyond anonymous, aggregate statistics

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

6.1 General Rights (All Users)

• Right to Access: Request information about the personal data we hold about you
• Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Right to Unsubscribe: Opt out of marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link

6.2 VCDPA Rights (Virginia Residents)

If you are a resident of Virginia, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) gives you the right to:

• confirm whether we process your personal data and access that data;
• correct inaccuracies in your personal data;
• delete personal data we hold about you;
• obtain a portable copy of the data you provided to us; and
• opt out of the sale of your personal data, targeted advertising, and certain profiling. We do not sell your data, engage in targeted advertising, or profile you for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, so there is nothing to opt out of.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@vibe2viable.com from the address associated with your request, and we will respond within the time required by law. If we decline your request, you may appeal that decision by replying to our response; we will inform you of the outcome of the appeal. Residents of other U.S. states may have similar rights, and we will honor applicable requests.

6.4 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at:

• Email: support@vibe2viable.com

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are under 18, please do not provide any information on our website or subscribe to our newsletter.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18 without parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe we might have information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at support@vibe2viable.com.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit. When you click on third-party links and leave our website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies.

9. Data Security and Breach Notification

We implement reasonable administrative and technical security measures to protect the personal information we control, including our newsletter list, which is stored on our AWS infrastructure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

This marketing website does not process payments. Course purchases and any related payment data are handled on our separate learning platform and its payment processor, under that platform's own privacy policy.

10. United States Users

Vibe2Viable LLC is a United States company, and this website is operated from the United States and directed to users in the United States. We do not target, market to, or direct this website at individuals located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions outside the United States, and we make no representation that the website complies with data-protection laws outside the United States.

As a matter of practice, we honor reasonable data access and deletion requests from individuals regardless of location. If you access this website from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, legal requirements, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
