Old Stag Publishing ("we," "us," "our") operates the16things.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: your name, email address and order details when you purchase one of our guides or book a paid call, and your name and email address when you request the free Contractor Interview Toolkit with Red Flag List.
Automatically collected information: standard technical data such as your browser type, device, and pages visited, collected via ordinary website analytics.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site.
Purchases on this Site are processed by Stripe, and paid call bookings are processed by Cal.com, which also uses Stripe. We never see or store full card numbers. We keep the buyer's name, email address and order details to deliver the download and handle refunds.
How We Use Your Information
To send you the free Contractor Interview Toolkit with Red Flag List you requested. To deliver the guide you purchased and send your download link. To notify you when the printed edition of 16 Things is available or has shipped. To respond if you contact us directly. To improve the Site. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
How We Store and Share Your Information
Your information is stored using Supabase, a third-party database provider, and may be processed using other service providers we use to operate the Site and send email. We only share your information with these providers to the extent necessary to operate the Site — never for their own marketing purposes.
Email Communications
If you purchase a guide, book a paid call, or request the free Toolkit, you'll be added to our list to receive that item and future updates about 16 Things, including a notification when the printed edition becomes available. Every email we send includes a way to unsubscribe. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act (U.S.) and Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) for our Canadian subscribers.
Your Choices and Rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you at any time by emailing clinton@the16things.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law (for example, California residents under the CCPA, or Canadian residents under PIPEDA); we'll honor requests consistent with those laws.
