Not final. This page is a draft written by Lael. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer yet. It is not legal advice.
The short version. If you type your email into a form, I keep it so I can send you what you asked for. On three pages, the ones people reach from my ads, a Meta pixel can tell Meta that someone visited and whether they signed up, but only if you say yes to it. It does not get your email, your name or what you bought. Payment happens on Stan, not here, and my Stan store has its own Meta pixel, explained below. Apart from Cloudflare counting page loads (below), nothing else is collected.
Who I am
Lael Laban. I run thankstolael as one person, online only. Write to me at thankstolael@gmail.com.
What I collect, and why
When you sign up for a free guide or the checks:
- Your email address
- Your first name, on the back guide, foot guide and How I stay capable pages
- Which page you signed up on, and which ad or link brought you. For example "back guide, from a Meta ad". I use it to send you the right guide and to know which ads work
That is all. No phone number, no address, no questions about your health. There is no field to tell me what hurts.
Picking the back guide, the foot guide or How I stay capable does say something about which part of your body you are curious about. I keep that with your email, use it only to send you the right material, and never send it to Meta or any ad platform.
When you buy something: see "Payments" below.
When you just read a page: see "The Meta pixel" below.
Cloudflare, which hosts this site, also counts page loads on its own (Cloudflare Web Analytics). It uses no cookies and does not tell me who you are.
The site also counts, without cookies or any personal details, how many visitors reach each step of the page, so I can see where it stops being useful.
The Meta pixel
Where it runs. Only on three pages: the home page (/), the back guide page (/back) and the foot guide page (/foot).
It does not run on the QUAD CORE page (/core), the checks page (/checks), the gear page (/gear), the How I stay capable guide page, these legal pages, or on Stan. Stan has a separate pixel, explained next.
What it sends to Meta:
- PageView: that this page was opened, the page address, the page that sent you here, the time, your IP address, and basic browser and device information
- Lead: that the sign up form on this page was sent successfully. Nothing you typed is attached. Not your email, not your name, not which guide you picked
The pixel uses a cookie in your browser (called _fbp) so Meta can tell one visit from the next. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram in the same browser, Meta may connect the visit to your account.
I have turned off the settings that would let the pixel read the page on its own or send your email to Meta, even in scrambled form.
Why. To see whether my ads bring people who actually want the guide, and to let Meta show the ads to people similar to those who signed up. Meta uses this under its own terms and privacy policy: facebook.com/privacy/policy.
How to say no. The pixel only loads if you press Yes on the small question at the bottom of the page. If you press No, or ignore it, nothing is sent to Meta. You can change your answer any time with the "Ad measurement" link in the footer of those three pages.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, I treat it as a no, and the pixel does not load.
The Meta pixel on Stan
My Stan store, where you pay and watch the lessons, has its own Meta pixel. I connected it in Stan's settings, and Stan runs it, not this site. The Yes or No question on my pages does not control it.
It can tell Meta which Stan pages you opened and, if you start a checkout or buy, which product and the price. Your card number is never part of it. Meta uses it under its own terms, and Stan's own privacy policy applies there.
Where your information goes
I do not sell your information. I do not rent it or trade it. I do not upload your email to Meta or any other ad platform to build audiences.
These companies handle it for me:
| Who | What they get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Meta (meta.com), USA | What the pixels send, described above. The one on this site, only if you said yes | Ad measurement |
| Stan (stan.store), USA | Everything you enter at checkout | Runs the checkout and hosts the lessons. Stan's own privacy policy applies there |
| PayPal, and Stripe once it is connected | Your payment details | Process the payment |
| Cloudflare, USA | Email, first name, signup page and source. Also technical request data, like your IP address, for a short time | Hosts this site, stores the email list in its database, and protects the site from attacks. Cloudflare privacy policy |
| Amazon | Only if you click a link on the gear page | See "The gear page and Amazon" below |
Payments
You pay on Stan, not on this site. Stan and PayPal (or Stripe, once connected) collect your payment details. I see your name, your email and what you bought. I never see your card number.
What you bought, for example the knee program, says something about your body. I use it to deliver what you paid for, to answer you, and to keep the records the tax office requires. I never send it to Meta myself. Stan's pixel, described above, can tell Meta what you bought.
The gear page and Amazon
The gear page links to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. The links carry my associate tag, so Amazon knows a sale came from this site. Amazon reports totals to me. It does not tell me who you are.
The gear page has no pixel. Once you click through, you are on Amazon and Amazon's privacy notice applies.
The checks on the page
When you tap an answer in a movement check, the result stays on your screen. It is not sent anywhere, not stored and not attached to your email.
How long I keep it
- Email list: until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete you
- Purchase records: as long as tax law requires
- Pixel data: Meta keeps it under its own policy. I cannot delete it from Meta, but you can, in your Meta account under Accounts Center, Your information and permissions
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can:
- Ask what I have about you, and get a copy
- Ask me to correct it
- Ask me to delete it
- Unsubscribe from emails with one click, at the bottom of every email
- Say no to the pixel, as described above
Write to thankstolael@gmail.com from the address you signed up with. I answer within 30 days, and within 45 days at the most. It is free. If I say no to a request, I will tell you why, and you can write back to appeal. I will answer the appeal within 45 days.
California. Under California law, a pixel that helps show ads counts as "sharing" personal information. You have the right to opt out of that, which you can do as described in "How to say no" above. I treat a Global Privacy Control signal as an opt out. You also have the rights to know, delete, correct and limit. I will never charge you more or treat you differently for using them.
Other US states. If your state gives you privacy rights, write to me and I will honor them the same way.
Europe, the UK and Canada. I email you because you asked me to, and you can withdraw that at any time by unsubscribing. You may complain to your local data protection authority.
Consumer health data
Some laws, including in Washington, Nevada and Connecticut, protect "consumer health data". That can include information that suggests something about your body, even if you never told me anything about your health. What that could mean here, and your rights over it, are on a separate page: Consumer health data.
Age
This site and the programs are for adults, 18 and over. I do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you think a child signed up, write to me and I will delete it.
If this changes
If I add another tool that collects anything, or put the pixel on another page, this page changes first and the date at the top changes with it. If the change is big, I will email the list.
Where I am
I run this from Israel, and the companies above store your information in the United States.
