Our Privacy Policy

The Real Marketing Book is a personal blog where I write about marketing tools and strategies. Since this isn't a business or service, I have no need to collect your personal information.

• No accounts: You can't sign up or create an account
• No forms: I don't have contact forms, comments, or newsletters
• No tracking: I don't use cookies to track your behavior
• No personal data: I don't know who you are or anything about you

Like most website owners, I use basic analytics to understand which articles are popular. This helps me decide what to write about next.

• Vercel Analytics: Shows me anonymous data like page views and country-level traffic
• Google Analytics: Helps me see which articles people find useful
• What I see: Totals like "100 people visited this page from the US" - no individual data
• What I don't see: Your name, email, IP address, or anything that identifies you personally

This is the same basic analytics nearly every website uses. It's completely anonymous and aggregated.

Sometimes I link to tools or services I use. Here's what you should know:

• Affiliate links: Occasionally I use affiliate links (if I sign up through my link, I might get a small commission)
• No extra cost: Using affiliate links never costs you more
• External sites: When you click links to other sites, their privacy policies apply, not mine
• No responsibility: I'm not responsible for how other sites handle your data

Since I don't collect your personal data, there's not much to exercise rights over. But for completeness:

• Access: You can't request your data because I don't have any
• Deletion: There's nothing to delete because I don't store your information
• Correction: No data to correct for the same reason
• Opt-out: You're automatically opted out of everything by default

If I ever make significant changes to this blog that affect privacy, I'll update this page. Given that this is just a personal blog, major changes are unlikely.
