Privacy Policy
Quietly Smart ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit quietlysmart.org or its sub-brands (Market Decoded, The AI Shortcut), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
I.Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you sign up for our newsletter, download a free guide, join a course waitlist, or contact us via email, you may provide us with:
- Your email address
- Your name (if voluntarily provided)
- Any other information you choose to share in messages to us
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we automatically collect limited technical information through Cloudflare Web Analytics, including:
- Approximate location (country, region — not precise location)
- Browser type and version
- Device type
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referring website (where you came from)
Cloudflare Web Analytics is privacy-respecting and does not use cookies or fingerprinting. We do not track individual users across sessions or sell this data.
II.How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you content you have signed up for (guides, newsletters, course updates)
- Respond to your questions and inquiries
- Improve our content and website experience
- Notify you about new offerings (you can unsubscribe at any time)
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
III.Email Communications
If you sign up for our email list, we will send you content related to Quietly Smart, Market Decoded, or The AI Shortcut. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time and we will remove you from our list within a reasonable time frame.
IV.Third-Party Services
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate this website. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Cloudflare — hosts our website and provides privacy-respecting analytics
- Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — manages our email list and sends our newsletters (when integrated)
- YouTube — embeds for video content (governed by Google's privacy policy)
We do not share your information with these services beyond what is necessary to provide the service to you (for example, your email address is stored in Kit so we can send you the content you requested).
V.Cookies
Our website does not use tracking cookies. Cloudflare Web Analytics works without cookies. If you watch an embedded YouTube video, YouTube may set its own cookies according to Google's policies — this is outside our control.
VI.Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. We cannot promise that your information will never be intercepted or accessed inappropriately, but we do our best to keep it safe.
VII.Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Request that we correct or delete that information
- Unsubscribe from any of our email lists
- Object to or restrict certain uses of your information
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@quietlysmart.org.
VIII.Children's Privacy
Quietly Smart is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
IX.Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated via email if you are subscribed to our list.
