Privacy Policy

This website is a personal author and management site for Allan Stowe. It shares information about Allan's book, management notes, professional profiles, and contact details.

Cookies And Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode and a small first-party consent control. Analytics cookies are off by default and Consent Mode is set to denied until a choice is made. While analytics are denied, GA4 sends only cookieless pings: no cookies are set and no identifier is stored on your device, and Google counts those visits in aggregate. Like any web request, a ping carries your IP address and browser details to Google.

If analytics are allowed, Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga to measure broad site usage, such as which pages are visited and how people find the site. Analytics data is used to improve the website and is not sold.

Your cookie choice is stored in local browser storage as allan_stowe_cookie_consent_v1. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings button in the footer.

Email Newsletter And Checklist Signup

You can request the Manager Decision Checklist PDF and occasional management notes by entering your email address in a signup form on this site. The email address you provide is used to deliver the PDF and to send an email roughly every week or two with management career content. Nothing else is collected through the form, and your address is never sold or shared for advertising.

Signups are processed by Kit (ConvertKit, LLC, USA), which stores the subscriber list and sends the emails on Allan's behalf. Kit acts as a data processor and has its own privacy policy. Subscription uses double opt-in: you receive a confirmation email first, and you are only subscribed after you confirm.

Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops all future emails, and you can also request deletion of your address from the list at any time by emailing the contact address below.

Contact

If you email Allan through the contact link, your email address and message are used only to read and respond to your message. Do not send sensitive personal information by email.

External Links

This site links to external services such as Gumroad, Amazon, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Those services have their own privacy policies and data practices.

Updates

This policy may be updated as the site changes. The latest update date is shown at the top of this page.
