Last updated: 6/19/2025
Thank you for visiting adamburton.net. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://adamburton.net.
This site is operated by Adam Burton.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Newsletter & Email Communication
We collect your name and email address when you sign up for our newsletter, download free resources, or enroll in a course. These are managed through MailerLite, which tracks open and click rates to help us improve our communication. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of each email.
Courses & Accounts
If you enroll in a course (e.g., Rooted), we collect your first name, last name, email, and progress information. This data is used to provide course access, track your progress, and support your learning experience. This data is stored securely and is never sold or shared for marketing purposes.
Analytics
We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. These tools collect anonymized data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies to:
- Save your preferences and login session
- Enable course tracking
- Analyze usage with analytics tools
- Improve loading performance with caching
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last one year.
You may control or disable cookies in your browser settings.
Embedded Content
Articles and course lessons may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves just as if you visited those sites directly. These platforms may collect data, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with embedded media.
We also use bunny.net to securely stream video content.
reCAPTCHA & Cloudflare Turnstile
To protect our site from spam and abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA. These services analyze user behavior to confirm you’re not a bot and may collect technical information in the process.
Payments
While most content is free, we also offer paid resources (like books). Payments are securely processed through Stripe. We do not store your full payment information on our servers.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
An anonymized string (hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to display your avatar. See Gravatar’s privacy policy.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.
Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Administrators can also see and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data. You can also request that we erase your data, excluding any information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
While we are not based in the European Union or California and do not actively target those regions, we still value your privacy. If you would like to access, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you, you may contact us at any time.
We honor reasonable requests in accordance with applicable laws and good faith practices.
To make a data request, contact us at: [email protected].
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Newsletter subscriptions and course enrollments are processed through secure third-party services like MailerLite, Stripe, and LifterLMS.
Security
We use SSL encryption and a secure hosting provider (Hostinger). We also implement caching and performance tools (LiteSpeed Cache) to enhance user experience.
