Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data Seller Signal collects and how it is used. As shipped, the honest summary is: almost nothing. The site has no backend, forms open your own email client instead of storing anything, and the analytics and advertising integrations are inactive placeholders that cannot load until you explicitly consent.
What we collect today
- Nothing server-side. The site is static files. There is no database, no submission endpoint, and no server-side logging operated by us. (If you host these files, your hosting provider may keep standard access logs under its own policy.)
- One consent preference. Your accept/decline choice on the cookie banner is stored in your browser's
localStorageunder the keyss-consent. It never leaves your device. Details on the Cookies & GDPR page. - Form contents: not collected. The newsletter and contact forms validate in your browser, then open your own mail app with a pre-filled message. Whatever you send arrives as ordinary email to the address shown; nothing is stored by the website itself.
What would be collected if the placeholders were activated
The code contains inactive, consent-gated placeholders. If a site operator activates them, the following would apply, and this policy must be updated to name the actual providers and IDs:
- Google Analytics (placeholder ID G-XXXXXXXXXX). If enabled and after you click Accept, it would collect pseudonymous usage data: pages viewed, approximate location from a truncated IP (the code sets
anonymize_ip), device and browser type. It loads only after consent and never when the site is opened from a local file. - Google AdSense (placeholder slots). The dashed boxes labeled "Advertisement placeholder" load no third-party code today. Live ads would involve Google setting advertising cookies, subject to the same consent gate.
- Affiliate links (placeholders). Tool pages carry marked affiliate placeholder links. Live affiliate links would let the destination know the click came from this site; they set no cookies here.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, the CCPA, and similar laws you have rights of access, correction, deletion, and objection over personal data. Because this site stores no personal data server-side, most requests reduce to two self-service actions: clear your consent choice on the Cookies page, and manage any emails you sent us by writing to desk@sellersignal.example (placeholder address; replace at launch) to have correspondence deleted.
Newsletter data
Subscription requests arrive by email. The address you send from is used only to deliver the briefing and process unsubscribes; it is not sold, shared, or enriched. Every edition includes an unsubscribe path, and unsubscribe requests are honored within 72 hours.
Children
This site is a business publication for professional sellers and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
Material changes are announced in the daily briefing and dated here. The "Last reviewed" date above always reflects the current text.
