Who We Are

Legal Name: AMZ Optimized LLC

Website: https://amzoptimized.com

DOS ID: 5522458

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information from visitors to our U.S.-based website.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

We collect personal information to provide our services, improve your experience, and meet legal obligations. Personal information includes data like names, email addresses, or IP addresses.

Form Submissions
When you submit a form or leave comments, we collect the data submitted, your IP address, and browser user agent string to detect spam. An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. We collect this data to manage and prevent spam.

Spam Detection
We may use a spam detection service to filter form submissions and comments for spam. These services process comment data (e.g., name, email, IP address, comment content) by checking it against external spam databases. This data may be sent to servers in the U.S. and retained for short periods (typically two weeks to ninety days) before deletion.

Newsletter Subscriptions
If you sign up for our newsletter or submit a contact form, we collect your name and email address (and any other information you voluntarily provide).

We use Beehiiv, a U.S.-based newsletter and email platform operated by Beehiiv Inc., to manage subscriptions, send newsletters, and handle email campaigns. When you subscribe to our newsletter, you will typically be required to confirm your subscription through a double opt-in process (you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to verify your subscription).

Your data is processed primarily in the United States. Beehiiv participates in and complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for lawful transfers of personal data from the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States.

For full details on how Beehiiv handles your data, please see Beehiiv’s Privacy Policy: https://www.beehiiv.com/privacy

You can unsubscribe or update your preferences at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” or “Manage Preferences” link at the bottom of any email we send you.

Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) by Google, Inc. to understand website usage. It may use cookies to collect data like IP addresses, browser type, and page visits. You can opt out via browser settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. See Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience:

  • Comment Cookies: If you comment, you can opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies (last one year).
  • Login Cookies: Login pages set a temporary cookie to check browser compatibility (no personal data, discarded when you close your browser). Login cookies last two days, screen options cookies last one year. “Remember Me” persists login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
  • Article Editing Cookies: Editing/publishing an article saves a cookie with the post ID (no personal data, expires in one day).

Manage cookies via your browser settings.

Security and Performance
We use Cloudflare, Inc.’s services for website security and performance (e.g., DDoS protection, content delivery). Cloudflare may process your IP address and technical data to optimize and secure our site. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for EU/UK data transfers. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from other sites, which may collect data, use cookies, or track interactions if you’re logged into those sites. We don’t control their data practices.

Lead Generation
We may use RB2B (a U.S.-based B2B lead generation platform operated by GetEmails, LLC d/b/a RB2B) to identify anonymous website visitors (U.S. only) and enrich leads with company and person-level data, such as name, job title, LinkedIn URL, business email, industry, and location. RB2B uses a pixel, cookies, device IDs, and IP addresses to track browsing activity and match it to profiles for real-time alerts and integrations (e.g., Slack, CRM).

Data is processed in the United States. RB2B is CCPA/CPRA compliant and SOC2 Type II certified; GDPR does not apply to U.S.-only person data.

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA rights):

  • Right to know, delete, correct, and opt-out of sale/sharing of personal information (including for lead generation)
  • Right to limit use of sensitive data and non-discrimination
