This website is operated by Align Consulting LLC, doing business as James Guldan ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use jamesguldan.com and any associated products including the Deep Work Interview, Site In Sixty, and The Deep Work Bundle.
We collect information you provide directly to us, including your name and email address when you fill out forms on this site, purchase a product, or contact us. We also collect your payment information when you make a purchase, though this is processed securely by Stripe and we never store your credit card details on our servers.
We automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URL. This is collected through Google Analytics to help us understand how people use the site.
We use your information to deliver the products and services you purchase, to respond to your questions and requests, to send you information about your account or purchases, and to improve our website and products. If you provide your email through our contact form, we may follow up with you about your business. We will never sell your email address or personal information to third parties.
We use the following third party services to operate our business:
Stripe processes all payments. When you make a purchase, your payment information is handled directly by Stripe under their privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.
Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data to help us understand how visitors use our site. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cloudflare hosts our website and provides security services. Their privacy policy is at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
SMS Program. When you provide your phone number and check the SMS consent box at checkout, you consent to receive text messages from James Guldan related to your purchase. Message types include order confirmation, product access instructions, and onboarding guidance. Message frequency varies. You will typically receive no more than 3 messages per transaction. Message and data rates may apply.
To opt out of SMS at any time, reply STOP to any message. After opting out you will receive one confirmation message and no further messages will be sent. To re-subscribe, reply START. For help, reply HELP or contact [email protected]. To update your phone number or contact information, email [email protected]. SMS consent is not a condition of purchase — providing your phone number and opting in is always optional.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All categories of personal data listed in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the text message services needed to deliver messages to you. We will not share your opt-in to an SMS program with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that program.
We may share your information, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third-party service providers (such as our SMS platform and carrier aggregators) who assist us in delivering text messages. These vendors are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your data for their own marketing purposes. Phone numbers and SMS consent records are stored securely and retained as required by applicable law and carrier regulations.
Our site uses cookies for analytics purposes through Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect some site functionality.
We implement security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These security measures include SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser and our servers, encrypted storage for data at rest, access controls that limit data access to authorized personnel only, and regular security reviews. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. We do not store credit card numbers or sensitive payment data on our servers. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
SMS and Phone Data Security. Phone numbers collected through our SMS opt-in program are stored securely using industry-standard security measures, including encryption at rest and in transit. Access to SMS subscriber data is restricted to authorized personnel only. We retain SMS opt-in records and consent logs as required by applicable law and carrier regulations. We implement appropriate technical and organizational controls to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse of your phone number and SMS consent data.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal information we hold about you. You can also request that we stop processing your data or object to our use of it. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected].
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
