Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Information you provide

If you contact us, subscribe through a connected service, purchase a product, or request support, you may provide information such as your name, email address, message content, or transaction-related details handled by the relevant provider.

Information collected automatically

• Basic technical information needed for site security, delivery, and diagnostics, such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, and timestamps.
• Essential WordPress or access-control cookies when required for site functionality, administrator sessions, or gated content.
• Aggregate site-usage information through privacy-focused analytics.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and site performance. Plausible is designed to operate without tracking cookies and without building individual visitor profiles.

We use analytics to understand things such as pageviews, referrers, device categories, and general geographic trends. We do not use analytics data for behavioral advertising or cross-site profiling.

Cookies & Local Access

The Site may use essential cookies or local storage where necessary for functionality, security, administrator sessions, or access to gated content.

If a protected page uses a license key, access token, or similar verification method, the browser may store a small token so you do not have to re-verify on every visit. These tools are used for access control, not advertising.

You can remove local cookies or stored site data through your browser settings. Doing so may require you to re-enter credentials or re-verify access.

Contact Forms

Our contact page uses a third-party form service to deliver messages to us. Information you submit through that form may be processed by that provider for the purpose of transmitting and protecting the message from abuse or spam.

Please send only information you intend for us to receive.

Third-Party Platforms & Links

The Archive links to and may publish through third-party services, including platforms used for newsletters, publishing, payments, product fulfillment, books, video, social media, and voluntary support.

Examples may include Substack, Buy Me a Coffee, Amazon, YouTube, X, Medium, and payment or fulfillment providers connected to Archive products. When you leave this Site or interact directly with one of those services, that service’s own privacy policy and terms apply.

We do not control how independent third-party platforms process information submitted directly to them.

How We Use Information

• Operate, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the Site.
• Respond to questions, support requests, and messages.
• Provide access to products, paid files, or restricted content where applicable.
• Understand aggregate site usage and improve reliability.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce site policies.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers only as reasonably necessary to run the Site, deliver messages, host content, process purchases, verify access, provide requested services, maintain security, or comply with law.

We do not sell personal information.

Payments & Purchases

Payments are handled by third-party commerce or payment providers. We do not intentionally collect or store full payment-card numbers on this Site.

We may receive limited transaction information needed to confirm a purchase, provide access, respond to support requests, or maintain business records.

Retention & Security

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, to maintain business or legal records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or comply with applicable obligations.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your Choices & Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent.

You may also control cookies through your browser and unsubscribe from communications using the unsubscribe tools provided by the service that sent them.

To make a privacy-related request, contact us at contact@thealignmentarchive.com.

International Visitors

If you access the Archive from outside the United States, information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Where required, providers may rely on approved transfer mechanisms or other safeguards.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where a higher minimum age applies under local law, we follow the applicable requirement.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, providers, or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page will reflect the latest revision.
