Privacy notice

This page says what Copy It collects, why, and how to unsubscribe or ask for deletion. It is written in plain language for readers in South Africa. It is not legal advice.

Who runs this

Copy It is a free weekly newsletter from Brandon, a creator in South Africa. For the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), Brandon is the responsible party.

What we collect

• The email address you type into a signup form.
• Which form you used: the one at the top of the home page (hero) or the one at the bottom (footer).
• Campaign details that were already in the link you opened, if any: utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, and utm_content. The page stores those in this browser tab (session storage) so they are still there when you submit the form.
• The address of the Copy It page you signed up on, and a label that the signup is for Copy It. The email list is shared with another newsletter, and these details keep Copy It readers separate.
• If you browse the site: pages you view, plus general device, browser, and approximate location data, through Google Analytics 4. The tag is Google's gtag.js library, added on this site directly. Google Tag Manager is not used.

Why we collect it

• To send the free list of ideas and the weekly newsletter you asked for.
• To see which posts and links bring readers to the site.
• To understand how the site is used, when analytics is on.

We do not sell your email address.

Who processes it

Beehiiv stores your subscription and sends the emails. Google Analytics processes usage data through that direct gtag.js tag. Beehiiv and Google may store information outside South Africa. We send only what we need to run the newsletter and the site.

How long we keep it

We keep your email for as long as you stay subscribed. Beehiiv may keep a basic record after that so an unsubscribe choice is honoured. Analytics data, when the tag is on, is kept under the Google Analytics setting on the property.

Unsubscribe

Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. You can use it any time. You do not need an account.

Access, correction, and deletion

Email hello@copyit.example and ask to see, correct, or delete your information. Say which address you used to sign up. We will pass a deletion request to Beehiiv, because that is where the subscription is stored. TODO: replace hello@copyit.example with the real contact address.

Children

Copy It is meant for adults who want to start a business. Do not sign up if you are under 18.
