Privacy Policy

This is a personal site for a speaking and consulting practice. It sells nothing and it tracks nobody across the web. The only information it asks for is what you type into the contact form, and the only reason it asks is so [[TBC: legal entity name — e.g. Nick Sonnenberg or Leverage LLC]] can reply to you.

There is no advertising network here, no cross-site tracking pixel, and no profile being built about you.

Two things, and nothing else.

• What you send through the contact form. Your first name, your email address, your message, and the topic you picked. A phone number, only if you choose to type one — that field is optional and the form works without it.
• Ordinary server records. Like every website, this one runs on a host that records requests: an IP address, a browser user-agent string, the page requested, and a timestamp. These are generated automatically, are used to keep the site up and to investigate abuse, and are not linked to the contact form.

This site sets no cookies of its own and loads no analytics or advertising script. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

Typefaces are compiled into the site when it is built rather than fetched from a font service while you read, so visiting a page does not tell a third party that you were here.

If this changes — an analytics tool is added, for instance — this section changes with it, and the effective date above moves.

Two service providers, each doing one job:

• Vercel hosts the site and generates the server records described above.
• HubSpot receives contact-form submissions and stores them so your message can be found and answered.

The contact form carries an optional checkbox for occasional email. It is unticked by default, sending the form without it works exactly the same, and nothing is recorded as an opt-in unless you tick it yourself.

If you do tick it, every email that follows carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing is honoured immediately.

Either way, writing to hello@nicksonnenberg.com gets a human.

Contact-form submissions are kept while the conversation is live and for as long afterwards as there is a business reason to remember it — a past enquiry about a speaking date is useful context for the next one. Ask for deletion and it is deleted.

Server records are short-lived and are retained by the host on its own schedule for operational and security purposes.

Write to hello@nicksonnenberg.com and ask. You can ask for a copy of what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. You will not be treated differently for asking.

If you are in California, the CCPA as amended by the CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) gives you rights to know, to delete, to correct, and to opt out of sale or sharing. Nothing here is sold or shared for cross-context behavioural advertising, so there is no opt-out to exercise — but the right to know and to delete apply, and the address above is how to use them.

If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you have equivalent rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and objection. The lawful basis for handling a contact-form message is the legitimate interest in answering someone who asked to be answered, and consent for any marketing email.

This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent something through the form, write to the address above and it will be removed.

If this policy changes, the effective date at the top changes with it. Material changes will be described here rather than folded in quietly.
