PRIVACY POLICY

This site is run by Yudin Growth LLC, Anton Yudin’s company, San Diego, California. This page explains what happens to information you give me here. It is short because the site does very little.

What I collect

When you write to me. The contact form on this site asks for your name, what you would like to talk about, and your email address. It also asks for your phone number. A longer message is optional. When you send it, that information reaches me as an email, and the form is also kept in Multimar, the software I use to keep track of my own correspondence (described below), with the rest of my correspondence with you.

When you book a call. The booking panel on this site asks for your name and email address. Your company, a note about what you would like to talk about, and the email addresses of any guests you add are optional. It also uses your time zone, so the times are shown in yours. When you confirm, the call is added to my calendar with a Google Meet link, Google sends the invitation to you and your guests, and I send you a confirmation with links to move or cancel the call, and reminders before it. The booking is kept in Multimar, the software I use to keep track of my own correspondence (described below). If you move or cancel the call, that is kept with it.

When you come here from an email I sent you. If I wrote to you and you followed a link in that email, the link carries a short code that tells this site which email you came from. For you, and only then, the site keeps a record of the visit:

• which pages you opened, and when
• how long each page was in front of you, and how far down it you went
• which buttons and links you clicked
• that you sent the form. What you wrote in it is kept as described above
• whether you were on a computer or a phone, and which browser you used
• that you came back later, if you did

Clicks include the steps of the booking panel, such as opening it, the day you looked at, which box of the booking form you clicked into, or closing it. It does not record anything you type, your mouse movements, or your screen. If you go on to book a call, the booking carries the same short code, so I can tell that the person who booked is the person I wrote to.

My emails themselves can tell me that they were opened and that a link in them was followed. If an email links to a report I prepared about your business, the report page tells me each time it is opened.

Everyone else. If you did not come from one of my emails, the site keeps a record of your visit too, under a random number instead of a name:

• which pages you opened, how long each was in front of you, and how far down it you went
• which buttons and links you clicked, including the steps of the booking panel described above
• whether you were on a computer or a phone
• the name of the site that sent you here, such as “google.com”. Never the address of the page you came from, and never what you searched for

The number is kept in your browser, so a later visit from the same browser is recognised as the same visitor. It carries no name and no email address, and I cannot tell who you are from it. If you book a call or send the form from that browser, the number is joined to the name and email address you give, and your earlier visits then show with them.

The site also counts visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you, and with Google Analytics, which sees the pages you open, roughly where you are (city or region), your device and browser, and the site that sent you, and gives me totals across all visitors. Google Analytics does not tell me who you are, and I have not turned on its advertising features.

AI and search bots. When a known AI or search bot opens a page here (for example ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google or Bing), the site notes the page, the bot’s name and its IP address in Multimar, to see which pages AI assistants read and to tell real bots from ones using a borrowed name. People are never recorded this way: the check only looks at whether the visitor says it is one of those bots.

Automatically. My hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, as part of running and protecting the site. When you send the form, your IP address is held in memory for a few minutes to stop the same visitor from sending hundreds of messages at once. It is never written to disk or kept. Your IP address is not stored with the record of a visit described above.

What I do not collect

There are no advertising pixels and no advertising trackers on this site. I do not sell or share personal information, and I do not use it for advertising.

The record of a visit is never used to find out who you are. It stays a number until you tell me your name by booking a call or writing to me.

Cookies and what is kept in your browser

Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_…) to tell one visit from the next. They hold a random number, no name and no email address, and last up to two years. You can block or delete them in your browser; the site works the same without them. This site sets no other cookies.

It keeps two small things in your browser’s storage. If you came from one of my emails, it keeps that short code, so that a later visit from the same browser is recognised as yours. For every visitor, it keeps the random number described above. Each stays for 90 days after your last visit and is then removed. You can remove them sooner by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

The booking panel itself stores nothing in your browser.

Some browsers can send a “Do Not Track” signal. This site does not change what it does when it receives one.

Why I have it, and what I do with it

I use what you send me to reply to you, to hold the call you booked, and to have a conversation about working together. That is the whole purpose. Once you book a call, I stop sending you my outreach emails. I do not add you to a mailing list, and you will not receive marketing from me because you wrote to me or booked a call.

The record of a visit serves the same purpose: it shows me what was useful to you before we talk, and where this site is unclear. It is not used for advertising, and it is not passed to anyone for theirs.

Who else sees it

Four services:

• Resend delivers the email your form becomes, and the confirmation and reminders for a call you book.
• Vercel hosts the site, keeps the server logs described above, and counts visits.
• Google runs my calendar and email: a booked call is added to my calendar with a Google Meet link, and Google sends the invitation. Google Analytics counts visits and pages across all visitors, as described above.
• Supabase stores the record of visits, the forms you send and the calls booked on this site. It does so for Multimar, the software I built and run myself to keep track of my own correspondence.

They act as service providers. Nobody buys this information from me, because I do not sell it.

How long it is kept

Your form lives in my email inbox and in Multimar, and I keep correspondence as long as it is useful to the conversation, the way anyone keeps email. Ask me to delete it and I will delete it from both. Bookings, and the record of your visits, are kept on the same terms: as long as it is useful to the conversation, and deleted when you ask. Server logs are kept on my host’s normal schedule. The rate-limit record of an IP address disappears within minutes and is never stored.

Your rights in California

Under the CCPA and CPRA you can ask me to tell you what personal information I hold about you, to delete it, or to correct it. That includes the record of your visits. You can also ask me not to sell or share it — though I do neither. Exercising any of these will never mean worse treatment from me.

To make a request, email anton@yudingrowth.com. I will reply within 45 days, and usually the same week.

Children

This site is for people running businesses. It is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes

If what the site does changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves. Adding analytics, or adding any new tool, counts as a change.
