Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

1. Who we are

Slightly Technical LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States ("we", "us") is the controller of personal data processed through this website. For any privacy matter, contact privacy@slightlytechnical.rs.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

  • Your name and email address when you submit the contact, coaching, store-notification, or email-signup forms, together with whatever you write in the message fields.

Information collected automatically

  • Standard server logs kept by our hosting provider (IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps) for security and operations.
  • If — and only if — you accept analytics in the cookie banner, Google Analytics records usage statistics: pages visited, referrer, approximate location (country or city, derived from a truncated IP address), device and browser class, and a random identifier that tells returning browsers apart. Under the same consent it also records which forms you send and which buttons you use — for example that the ReactIR trial link was clicked, or that a tool was opened from an article — never what you typed into a form. Until you accept, the analytics script does not load at all. We run it with all advertising features disabled — no ads personalisation, no audience building, no cross-site signals.
  • Under the same consent, Microsoft Clarity records how pages are used — mouse movement, clicks, scrolling, the page, and the device and browser class — and can replay a visit as an anonymised recording. Page text and anything you type are masked before they leave your browser, so no form contents are ever recorded. Advertising features are off, and Clarity does not load until you accept.

What we do not collect

  • No accounts, no passwords, no membership profiles.
  • No advertising or marketing pixels of any kind, and no advertising use of analytics data.
  • No payment details — donations happen entirely on Stripe's or PayPal's own sites, under their privacy policies.

3. Why we process it

  • To answer messages you send us (contract/legitimate interest).
  • To email you the updates you explicitly asked for — one-field signup, no pre-ticked boxes, unsubscribe any time (consent).
  • To keep the site secure and working (legitimate interest).
  • To understand, in aggregate, which articles are read, which tools and forms are used, and where pages are hard to use (consent).
  • To meet legal obligations where they apply.

4. Service providers

Personal data is shared only with the processors that run the site:

  • Netlify — website hosting and form-submission handling (form data is stored in Netlify's form inbox).
  • Stripe and PayPal — donation processing on their own platforms; we receive confirmation, not card data.
  • Google LLC (Google Analytics 4) — aggregate usage measurement, only after your consent, under Google's data processing terms. Google may process this data in the United States; transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
  • Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd (Microsoft Clarity) — usage recordings and heatmaps, only after your consent, under Microsoft's data processing terms. Microsoft may process this data in the United States; transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
  • YouTube — embedded videos load only after you press play; until then no data flows to YouTube from these pages.
  • Plugins. Activating ReactIR sends your host application's name and a hardware identifier to Lemon Squeezy, our licensing and payment provider, to validate your licence key. Nothing else leaves your computer, and ReactIR Lite makes no network connections. Purchases are processed by Lemon Squeezy under its own privacy policy. The ReactIR Lite download form stores your email address to send you the download links, and adds it to our email list only if you tick the newsletter box and then confirm through the link in that email.

Providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States, with applicable legal safeguards.

5. Retention

Form submissions are kept as long as the conversation or signup is live and deleted when no longer needed. Email-list addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs rotate on our host's standard schedule. Google Analytics event data is retained for at most 14 months — the shortest retention Google offers — and Microsoft Clarity keeps session recordings for 30 days and aggregated heatmap data for 13 months. You can withdraw analytics consent at any time on the cookie policy page.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing, and withdraw consent at any time. The full list and how to exercise them: Your Privacy Rights. Requests go to privacy@slightlytechnical.rs.

7. Security & children

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. This site is not directed at children under 16; if such data reaches us, we delete it.

8. Changes

We'll update this page when the practices change and adjust the date above. Significant changes get a visible note.
