Privacy policy
What we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Effective date: June 28, 2026
Who this policy covers
This policy explains how Equitycompensation.com handles information collected through this website. It covers visitors, newsletter subscribers, contact-form users, and people who use the equity fit-check flow.
This website is not a client portal. If you become an advisory client, you may receive separate privacy notices and engagement documents that govern the advisory relationship.
Information you give us
We collect information you choose to submit, including:
- newsletter signup information, such as your email address and signup source;
- contact-form information, such as your name, email address, message, and source page;
- equity fit-check information, such as your first name, email address, company name if you provide it, equity stage, grant types, rough equity value range, and whether the form routed you toward an advisor call or the community;
- booking or community information you provide directly to third-party services such as Cal.com or Skool.
Please do not send Social Security numbers, account numbers, tax returns, passwords, private keys, full financial statements, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may collect basic technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, timestamps, and error or security logs. We may also use basic analytics to understand what pages are useful and whether the site is working correctly.
How we use information
We use information to:
- send the newsletter or other updates you requested;
- respond to messages and contact requests;
- route fit-check submissions and help determine whether an advisor conversation may be a fit;
- open booking or community next steps when you request them;
- operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
- keep ordinary business, compliance, and security records;
- comply with legal, regulatory, or professional obligations.
How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We share information only as needed to operate the site, communicate with you, provide services you request, protect the site, or comply with law.
Depending on which features you use, information may be handled by service providers such as:
- Cloudflare or similar hosting, security, and infrastructure providers;
- Zapier or similar automation providers that route form submissions;
- beehiiv or similar newsletter providers;
- Resend or similar email delivery providers;
- Cal.com or similar scheduling providers;
- Skool or similar community platforms;
- analytics and error-monitoring providers, if enabled;
- professional advisers, legal counsel, compliance reviewers, regulators, or authorities when appropriate.
Those providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Third-party sites you visit from this website are responsible for their own practices.
Cookies and analytics
The site may use cookies, local storage, server logs, or similar technologies for security, performance, forms, analytics, and basic site operation. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but blocking some technologies may affect how the site works.
How long we keep information
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including communication, business records, compliance, security, and legal obligations. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from newsletter emails using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter. You can ask to access, correct, or delete information you submitted by using our contact page. We may need to keep some information for legal, security, compliance, or legitimate business reasons.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards for the site and the information submitted through it. No website, email system, form, or internet transmission is perfectly secure, so do not use ordinary website forms for highly sensitive documents or secrets.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date above shows when this version was last updated.
