Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. Here's our straightforward approach to handling your information—no legal fog to navigate through.

Last updated: August 14, 2025

Our North Star Principle

We collect only what we need to help you navigate AI transformation effectively. No more, no less. We treat your data like we'd want ours treated—with respect, security, and purpose.

What We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Email Address: When you subscribe to our newsletter or create an account
  • Name (Optional): If you choose to personalize your experience
  • Professional Information (Optional): Industry, role, or company size to provide relevant content
  • Feedback and Communications: When you contact us or participate in surveys

Information Collected Automatically

  • Analytics Data: Page views, time spent, and navigation patterns (anonymized)
  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and screen size for optimization
  • Location Data: General geographic region (country/state level only)

How We Use Your Information

We're navigators, not data hoarders. Here's exactly how we use what we collect:

  • Content Delivery: Sending you the newsletters and updates you've requested
  • Personalization: Tailoring content recommendations to your industry and interests
  • Improvement: Understanding which content helps most so we can create more of it
  • Communication: Responding to your questions and feedback
  • Legal Compliance: Meeting our legal obligations (though we keep these minimal)

What We Don't Do

We never sell your data. Period. Your trust is worth more than any check.

We don't share with third parties except for essential services (like email delivery) that help us serve you better.

We don't use manipulative tracking. No creepy retargeting or behavioral profiling.

Your Rights & Choices

You're the captain of your data. Here's what you can do:

  • Access Your Data: Request a copy of everything we have about you
  • Correct Information: Update any inaccurate details
  • Delete Your Data: Ask us to remove your information (we'll honor it)
  • Opt Out: Unsubscribe from emails with one click, no questions asked
  • Port Your Data: Take your information with you in a standard format

Security Measures

We protect your data like a lighthouse protects ships:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted using industry-standard SSL/TLS
  • Access Controls: Limited to team members who need it for their work
  • Regular Audits: We review our security practices quarterly
  • Incident Response: Clear procedures if something goes wrong (we'll tell you promptly)

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies sparingly, like navigation markers:

  • Essential Cookies: Keep you logged in and remember preferences
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how to improve (anonymized)
  • No Ad Cookies: We don't use advertising or tracking cookies

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, though some features may be limited.

Children's Privacy

Perfect Storm is designed for professionals navigating workplace AI transformation. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If we discover we have, we'll delete it immediately.

Changes to This Policy

Like good navigation charts, we update this policy when needed. We'll notify you of significant changes via email or a prominent notice on our site. The "last updated" date at the top shows when we last made changes.
