Privacy Policy

Build & Inspire is run by AAA Internet Brands, LLC. This page explains how we handle information on buildandinspire.com.

What you give us

Episode signups. Your email address, so we can send new episodes. You confirm by email first, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link that works immediately.

Guest applications. Your name, email, the link you share, and what you wrote, so Leo can review it and reply. Applying does not sign you up for emails.

What we collect automatically

No analytics yet. The site does not run analytics or ad tools right now. If we add them, we will update this page first.

Where you came from. When you submit a form, we record the page you were on and, if you followed a campaign link, its tags. This is saved with your submission only, not in your browser.

Episode email opens and clicks. Our emails contain a small tracking image and their links pass through our server, so we can see whether you opened one and which links you clicked. We use this to see which episodes people want, to remove addresses that never open, and to spot delivery problems. You can block the image by turning off remote images in your mail app. We delete these records when you unsubscribe and ask us to erase your data.

No IP addresses. Our forms use your IP address for a moment to stop spam, and we do not store it.

Cookies

We do not set any tracking cookies. The only thing the site stores in your browser is an unsent draft of the guest or contact form, so a reload does not lose it. It is deleted once you send the form.

Who else handles your information

We use Vercel for hosting, Resend to email ourselves when you submit a form, our own self-hosted Listmonk and PocketBase servers for subscribers and form submissions, and Amazon Simple Email Service to deliver episode emails.

We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

How long we keep it

Episode signups are kept until you unsubscribe. Guest applications are kept while we consider them and for a reasonable period after. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe using the link in any email. You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, and we will. If you are in the UK or EU, you also have the right to object to how we process your information and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Use the contact form and tell us what you want done.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
