Privacy Policy

Who we are

Brinkman Data Analytics ("Brinkman Data", "we") operates stanbrinkman.com and the associated social media accounts. Contact for anything in this policy: stan@stanbrinkman.com.

What we collect

Lead forms. When you request a free resource through a form on this site, we collect the name and email address you enter. They are stored in a private spreadsheet and used to send you the resource you asked for and occasional related research. You can unsubscribe or request deletion at any time by emailing us.

Social messaging. If you comment a keyword (for example GOLD or MAP) on one of our Instagram or Facebook posts, or message our pages, we process your public comment, username and message thread through Meta's official APIs and approved automation tools in order to reply and send you the resource you requested by direct message. We store the minimum needed to avoid sending you duplicates (username, comment id, delivery status). We do not use this data for anything other than answering you.

Analytics. The site uses Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and advertising pixels (Meta, Reddit, Google Ads) to measure traffic and ad performance. These set cookies and collect usage data under their own policies.

Purchases. Paid products are sold through Gumroad. Payment details are handled entirely by Gumroad under Gumroad's privacy policy; we never see your card details.

What we don't do

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties beyond the processors named above. We do not send unsolicited direct messages: automated DMs are only sent when you explicitly request a resource by keyword or message us first.

Data deletion

Email stan@stanbrinkman.com from the address (or with the social handle) in question and we will delete the associated data within 30 days. For data held by Meta, Google, Microsoft, Reddit or Gumroad, their own deletion processes also apply.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with an updated effective date.
