Privacy Policy

Email addresses. When you subscribe to the Industrial Quotient newsletter, we collect your email address. This is provided voluntarily by you and is required to deliver the newsletter.

Form submissions. If you contact us through the site — for example to ask about sponsorship — we collect the information you provide in the form, including your name, company, and any details you share.

Analytics data. We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This includes page views, referral sources, browser type, and general geographic location (country level). This data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used to identify individual users.

We use the information we collect to:

• Deliver the Industrial Quotient newsletter to your inbox every Tuesday.
• Respond to messages and sponsorship inquiries you send us.
• Understand how our website is used so we can improve the experience.
• Communicate with you about the newsletter, events, or updates you've opted into.

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We use the following third-party services to operate this website and deliver our content:

• Beehiiv — Our newsletter platform. When you subscribe, your email address is stored and managed by Beehiiv. Their privacy policy is available at beehiiv.com/privacy.
• Plausible Analytics — A privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics platform. Plausible does not collect personal data, does not use cookies, and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. Learn more at plausible.io/data-policy.
• Vercel — Our website hosting provider. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP address, request timestamps) as part of normal hosting operations. Their privacy policy is at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We take a minimal approach to cookies. Our analytics provider, Plausible, is entirely cookie-free and does not track users across websites. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or any form of cross-site tracking.

The only cookies that may be set are essential cookies required for basic website functionality (such as form submissions). No cookie consent banner is needed because we do not use non-essential cookies.

GDPR. If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at the email address below. Our lawful basis for processing your email address is your consent, which you provide when you subscribe.

CAN-SPAM. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. Every newsletter email includes a clear unsubscribe link. We honor all unsubscribe requests within 24 hours. We do not use deceptive subject lines, and our emails clearly identify Industrial Quotient as the sender.

We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to the Industrial Quotient newsletter. If you unsubscribe, your email is removed from our active mailing list. Messages you send us are kept only as long as needed to respond and follow up.
