Thank you for visiting Jonathan Stroud ("Consultant," "I," "me," "my"). I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with transparency and care. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information collected from visitors to my website at jonathanstroud.me, how it is used and shared, and the rights you have with respect to your personal data.
This site is operated by Jonathan Stroud, an independent business consultant affiliated with Space Launch Agency (2604 B El Camino Real Suite 113, Carlsbad, CA 92008). Both this site and spacelaunchagency.com operate under the same privacy practices and business entity.
This policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy and marketing laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the CAN-SPAM Act, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
By using this website or submitting your information through any form or communication channel on this site, you acknowledge that personal information may be collected, used, and disclosed as described in this Privacy Policy. The English language version of this Privacy Policy is the controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt.
Personal information may be collected from the following groups of individuals:
The categories of information collected from each of these groups, and the ways in which it is used, may differ. Most of this policy addresses the collection and use of personal information from website visitors and prospective clients.
When you interact with this website, forms, or communications, you may provide personal information, including:
If you do not wish to provide personal information, please do not submit it. Choosing not to provide certain information may limit your ability to use some features of the services or prevent a response to your inquiry.
When you visit this website, certain information is collected automatically through your web browser and device, including:
If you access this website from a mobile device, your mobile carrier may transmit device-specific identifiers. If location services are enabled on your device, more precise location data may be received. You may disable location services in your device settings at any time.
This website uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about how you interact with the site and to power advertising and analytics efforts. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device that allows the site's systems to recognize your browser and remember certain preferences or actions over time.
This site uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (collectively, "Google Tags") to analyze website traffic, measure user behavior, and evaluate the performance of marketing campaigns. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:
This data is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
Use and transfer to any other application of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use Requirements.
For more information on how Google uses data collected through this site, please visit policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.
This site uses the Meta Pixel (formerly the Facebook Pixel), a piece of code provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. The Meta Pixel allows for:
The Meta Pixel may collect your IP address, browser information, the URL of the page you visited, and information about your actions on this site (such as pages viewed or forms submitted). Meta may connect this data with your Facebook or Instagram account and use it for their own advertising purposes in accordance with their Privacy Policy. Meta's use of this data once it is transmitted to their servers is not controlled by this site.
You can manage your Facebook ad preferences and opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting your Facebook Ad Settings. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising more broadly through the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative.
Other third-party analytics and advertising tools may be used from time to time, including but not limited to LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, and similar technologies. Each of these tools operates under its own privacy policy and data practices. You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party services whose ads or content may appear on this site.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies through your browser settings. Since each browser is a little different, look at your browser's Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn off cookies, some features of this website may not function properly.
This site honors Do Not Track (DNT) signals. When a DNT browser mechanism is in place, cookies will not be planted and advertising tracking technologies will not be used.
This site also honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When your browser sends a GPC signal indicating your preference to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, it will be treated as a valid opt-out request under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). When GPC is enabled, third-party tracking and analytics scripts that may share your information will not be loaded. You can learn more about GPC at globalprivacycontrol.org.
Information collected about you or that you provide is used for the following purposes:
Your personal information is not used for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects without your knowledge.
Non-personal information may be used to administer this website and make business decisions about marketing programs. Voluntarily provided personal information is used for legitimate business interests, including to respond to inquiries and provide requested services. Personal information is not sold or rented to third-party data brokers or marketing companies.
Personal information is shared with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating this website and business, including CRM platforms, email marketing services, SMS delivery providers, web hosting providers, payment processors, and analytics tools (including Google and Meta as described in Section 4). These parties are contractually required to keep your information confidential, use it only for the purposes for which it is disclosed, and not transfer it outside the United States without consent. Only the information each party needs to perform their function is disclosed.
Data is shared with advertising networks such as Google Ads and Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram) through cookies and pixel technologies as described in Section 4. This sharing may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under certain state privacy laws, including the CCPA. You have the right to opt out of this sharing as described in Section 12.
Information may be shared with affiliated businesses, including Space Launch Agency, which operates under the same privacy practices. Those entities will use such information in generally the same manner as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information, including personal information, may be disclosed to government authorities and to other third parties when compelled to do so by such government authorities, or as required or permitted by law, including but not limited to responding to court orders, subpoenas, and lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
Information may be disclosed when there is reason to believe that someone is causing injury to or interference with rights or property, other users of this website, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
If Jonathan Stroud's consulting business or substantially all of its assets are acquired by one or more third parties as a result of an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation, or liquidation, personal information may be one of the transferred assets. Reasonable efforts will be made to notify you if your personal information will be shared with parties to such a transaction.
Aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you may be shared with third parties for research, marketing, analytics, or other purposes without restriction.
If you opt in to receive email communications, newsletters, promotional materials, service updates, and other information that may be of interest to you may be sent. In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, the following commitments are made:
To opt out of email communications, click the "Unsubscribe" link in any email you receive, or contact us at the information provided in Section 17. Please note there may be a brief processing period before your opt-out takes full effect, during which you may receive one or two additional messages.
If you provide your mobile phone number and opt in to receive text messages, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated marketing, promotional, and informational text messages (including SMS and MMS) from Jonathan Stroud to the mobile phone number you provided. Your consent to receive text messages is not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services.
Message frequency varies depending on your account activity and the services you use. Standard message and data rates may apply as determined by your mobile carrier. Not all mobile devices or carriers may be supported, and messages may be delayed or undelivered for various reasons. There is no liability for any delays or failures in your receipt of any messages.
You acknowledge that you are the account holder for the mobile phone number you provided, or that you have the account holder's permission to opt in to receive messages at that number.
Supported carriers include (but are not limited to): AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Boost, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS, Virgin Mobile, and others. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. For questions regarding your text plan or data rates, please contact your wireless provider.
Your mobile phone number and SMS opt-in consent data will not be shared, sold, rented, or leased to any third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your mobile number may be shared with service providers who assist in delivering messages on behalf of this business, but those parties are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
You may choose not to provide personal information, though this may limit your ability to use certain features of this website or services. You may also opt out of marketing communications at any time as described in Sections 7 and 8 above.
In addition to the state-specific rights described in Sections 12 and 13, you have the general right to access, correct, and request deletion of your personal information by contacting us using the information in Section 17. All verifiable requests will be responded to in a timely manner.
There will be no discrimination against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. No different price or level of service is provided based on the exercise of your privacy rights.
If you would like to opt out of interest-based advertising across the web, you may do so through the Digital Advertising Alliance, the Network Advertising Initiative, or your browser's privacy settings.
This website and its services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children under 13. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control when it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, and those age-related requirements are taken seriously.
If it becomes known that anyone under the age of 13 has submitted personal information to this website without verifiable parental consent, that information will be deleted immediately and will not be used for any purpose. If you believe that a child under 13 has submitted personal information, please contact us immediately using the information in Section 17.
Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to talk with their children about the potential risks of providing personal information over the internet.
Reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures have been implemented to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, and destruction. Security practices include:
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While commercially acceptable means are used to protect your personal information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Except for the duty to maintain a security program under applicable law, liability is disclaimed for any theft, loss, unauthorized access, damage, or interception of any data or communications.
