Privacy Policy

Who we are

Garrett McClure is a dealmaker, agency investor, and author. This Site is his personal and professional home on the web. Questions about your privacy can be sent to garrett@garrettmcclure.com.

Information we collect

We collect two kinds of information. The first is information you give us directly, for example when you fill out a contact form, book a call, or email us: your name, email address, company, and whatever you choose to include in your message. The second is information collected automatically as you browse, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring links, and similar analytics data gathered through cookies and comparable technologies.

How we use your information

We use the information to respond to your inquiries, schedule and prepare for calls, operate and improve the Site, understand how visitors use it, and, where you have asked to hear from us, send you relevant updates. We process this information based on your consent, our legitimate interest in running the Site, and where applicable, taking steps at your request before entering into a potential engagement.

Third-party services

We rely on trusted third parties to run the Site, and your information may be processed by them in the course of providing those services. These include our website host (WP Engine), our contact-form and CRM provider (HubSpot), our scheduling tool (Calendly), and analytics and search tools (such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console). Each has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of third-party sites we link to.

Cookies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to make it work, remember preferences, and measure traffic. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some features of the Site may not function properly if you turn cookies off.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers described above so they can perform services for us, or when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer. That's it.

Data retention

We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to opt out of certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message. To make a request, email garrett@garrettmcclure.com and we will respond as required by applicable law, including the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where they apply to you.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
