Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

AgentStack respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit agentopsguide.com or use our newsletters, events and downloads (together, the “Site”), how we use it and the choices you have. The Site is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] (“AgentStack,” “we,” “us” or “our”), which is responsible for your personal information under this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. We collect information you provide when you do any of the following:

  • You subscribe to our newsletter.
  • You contact us by email or through a form.
  • You comment on an article.
  • You submit a pitch or guest contribution.
  • You register for a webinar or download a guide, template or report.
  • You respond to a survey or send feedback.

This information may include your name, email address, job title, company and anything else you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies. This may include your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, time on page, referring website and approximate location at country or city level.

2. How we use your information

  • We use it to operate, secure and improve the Site.
  • We use it to understand which content readers find useful.
  • We use it to respond to your questions, corrections, pitches and requests.
  • We use it to send newsletters and updates you have signed up for.
  • We use it to run webinars and deliver downloads you request.
  • We use it to measure the performance of sponsored content and advertising in aggregate.
  • We use it to detect and prevent spam, fraud and abuse.
  • We use it to comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal bases for processing

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we process your personal information on the following bases. We rely on your consent for newsletters, non-essential cookies and sharing your details with a sponsor. We rely on our legitimate interests to run, secure and improve the Site and to respond to messages. We rely on legal obligations where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.

4. Sponsors and advertisers

AgentStack publishes paid placements, sponsored content and advertising. We do not give sponsors or advertisers your personal information when you read sponsored content or click a sponsored link. We share aggregate, non-identifying performance data with partners, such as views and clicks.

Some guides, reports or webinars are offered with a sponsor. If you register for one of these, the form will tell you before you submit that your details will be shared with the named sponsor, and we will only share them with your consent. Once shared, the sponsor’s own privacy policy governs how it uses your information.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the Site and understand how it is used.

  • Essential cookies: These are required for the Site to work, for example to remember your cookie choices.
  • Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use our content, for example through [ANALYTICS PROVIDER].
  • Advertising and affiliate cookies: These may be set by advertising partners or affiliate networks to measure ads and track referrals.

Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, powered by [CONSENT MANAGEMENT TOOL]. You can change your choices at any time through [COOKIE SETTINGS LINK] or your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. Our Cookie Policy explains the cookies we use and how to manage them in more detail.

6. Service providers and third parties

We use trusted providers to run the Site, and they process information on our behalf under contract.

  • Website hosting and security: [HOSTING PROVIDER]
  • Analytics: [ANALYTICS PROVIDER]
  • Search performance: Google Search Console
  • Newsletter and email: [NEWSLETTER PLATFORM]
  • Forms and webinars: [FORMS OR WEBINAR PLATFORM]
  • Advertising and affiliate networks: [AD AND AFFILIATE PARTNERS]

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect our rights or users, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Each third party has its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to read them.

7. We do not sell your personal information

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. [CONFIRM: if advertising or affiliate cookies count as “sharing” for targeted advertising under California or other US state laws, add a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link and describe the opt-out here.]

8. Affiliate and sponsored links

Some articles contain affiliate links or paid links. If you click one and sign up or buy, we may earn a commission. Affiliate networks and partners may use cookies to record that the referral came from AgentStack. Our Disclosure page explains how we label affiliate and sponsored links.

9. How we protect your information

We use reasonable safeguards, including HTTPS encryption and reputable service providers, to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy or as the law requires. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe, and correspondence is kept for [RETENTION PERIOD]. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics provider, currently [ANALYTICS RETENTION PERIOD].

11. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to do the following:

  • You can access the personal information we hold about you.
  • You can ask us to correct or delete it.
  • You can object to or restrict certain processing.
  • You can receive a copy of your information in a portable format.
  • You can withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.
  • You can opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link.
  • You can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising where US state laws give you that right.

To exercise any of these rights, email [PRIVACY EMAIL]. We will respond within the time the law requires and will not treat you differently for exercising your rights. If you are in the EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

12. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

Where required by law, we honor Global Privacy Control signals as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. [CONFIRM GPC SUPPORT IN CONSENT TOOL] Because there is no common standard for Do Not Track signals, the Site does not currently respond to them.

13. Children’s privacy

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

14. International transfers

AgentStack is operated from [COUNTRY OF OPERATION], and our service providers may process information in other countries. When we transfer personal information out of the EEA, UK or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. We will post updates on this page with a new “Last updated” date, and we will notify subscribers of significant changes by email.
