Privacy Policy

Incorpadia.com is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have — written in plain language, not legalese.

🔒 We Never Sell Your Data 🚫 No Hidden Tracking ✅ GDPR & CCPA Aware 📧 No Spam, Ever

Privacy at a Glance

Before the full policy, here are the six things that matter most to most people.

We Don't Sell Your Data

Your personal information is never sold, rented, or traded to third parties. Period.

Minimal Collection

We only collect data that's necessary to operate the site and improve your experience — nothing more.

Contact Info = Replies Only

If you email or message us, your details are used only to respond to your inquiry — never for marketing.

Affiliate Links Are Tracked

When you click affiliate links, providers may use cookies to track referrals. We disclose all of this clearly.

You Can Request Deletion

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Just ask.

Analytics Are Anonymous

We use analytics tools to understand site traffic. Data is aggregated and not linked to identifiable individuals.

01

Data We Collect

We collect two categories of information: data you provide directly, and data collected automatically when you visit.

Information You Provide Directly

Contact form submissions: Your name, email address, and message content when you contact us through our contact form.
Email correspondence: Any information you include when emailing us directly.
Comment submissions: If we enable comments on any pages, your display name and email (not shown publicly unless you choose).

Information Collected Automatically

Log data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps.
Analytics data: Anonymized usage patterns including time-on-page, scroll depth, click events, and navigation paths via Google Analytics.
Cookie data: Session identifiers, preference cookies, and analytics cookies as described in Section 4.
Affiliate click data: Click identifiers appended to affiliate links to enable commission attribution. Described further in Section 5.
We do not collect: Payment details, Social Security Numbers, government IDs, health information, or any sensitive personal data. We are a content and review site — not an e-commerce or financial services provider.
03

How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for the following purposes only:

Purpose Data Used Legal Basis
Responding to contact form messages Name, email, message Legitimate interest
Improving site content and navigation Anonymous analytics Legitimate interest
Affiliate commission attribution Click IDs, cookies Legitimate interest
Site security and fraud prevention IP address, log data Legitimate interest
Compliance with legal obligations As required by law Legal obligation

We do not use your information for behavioural advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, or any commercial purpose beyond what is listed above.

04

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies — small text files placed on your device — to operate the site and understand how visitors use it. Here is a breakdown of the types we use:

Managing Cookies: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling analytics and affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to read our content. For more control, visit aboutcookies.org.

05

Affiliate Links & Referral Tracking

Incorpadia participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means some links on our site are affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the service provider at no additional cost to you.

When you click an affiliate link:

A unique tracking identifier is embedded in the URL to attribute the referral to Incorpadia.
The destination service may set cookies on their website to track the referred session.
We receive aggregated referral data (number of clicks, conversions) — not your personal information from the third-party site.
Once you leave Incorpadia.com, the privacy policy of the destination site governs data collection.
All affiliate relationships are disclosed in full on our Affiliate Disclosure page in compliance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255).
06

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers: Trusted vendors (listed in Section 6) who help us operate the site. They are contractually restricted from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us.
Legal requirements: If required by a court order, government authority, or applicable law, we may disclose information as legally compelled.
Business transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of Incorpadia, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change.
Safety: If we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm, fraud, or illegal activity.
Our commitment: We have never sold user data, and we have no intention of doing so. Incorpadia's business model is affiliate commissions, not data monetisation.
08

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected:

Contact form messages: Retained for up to 12 months after the final reply, then deleted.
Server log data: Retained for up to 90 days for security purposes, then automatically purged.
Analytics data: Retained in Google Analytics for 14 months (standard setting), then anonymised.
Affiliate click data: Retained by affiliate networks per their own data retention policies (typically 90–180 days).

You may request early deletion of your personal data at any time. See Section 10 for how to exercise that right.

09

Security

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:

SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
Access controls limiting who within our team can access personal data.
Regular security updates and patching of our WordPress installation and plugins.
Cloudflare's DDoS protection and Web Application Firewall to guard against malicious traffic.

No internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data. We honour these requests regardless of whether you are legally entitled to them — because we believe privacy is a right, not a privilege.

Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold.

Right to Deletion

Children's Privacy

Incorpadia.com is intended for adults engaged in business formation activities. Our site is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from, children under the age of 13 (or 16 in applicable jurisdictions).

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete that information as promptly as possible.

12

External Links

Our website contains links to external sites — including affiliate partner websites, government filing portals, and reference resources. Once you leave Incorpadia.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we do:

The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
