Overview

MentorSurge ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website www.mentorsurge.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have regarding your data.

Optional analytics stays off until you allow it through Privacy choices. You can change that choice at any time. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track keep optional analytics off.

Information We Collect

If you join the newsletter, our signup service sends your email address and signup source/page to Klaviyo to process your subscription. It also sends a subscriber notification to the site owner. Signup abuse controls use temporary rate-limit records derived from the request IP address and email address. Contacting us by email shares the information you include with the recipient and email services involved.

We do not require you to create an account or submit personal information to read content on MentorSurge. We may collect the following information automatically when you visit the Site:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL (the page you came from)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
