Information collected automatically. When you use our website, our partners and we collect usage and device information such as pages visited, links clicked, referring pages, IP address, browser type, and operating system, using cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
Information from others. If you buy from our Etsy shop, Etsy shares the order details we need to fulfill your purchase. Your Etsy account itself is governed by Etsy’s privacy policy.
2. How We Use Your Information
- Deliver the resources, products, and services you request
- Respond to your questions and requests
- Manage your inquiry, assessment, or client relationship in our customer relationship management (CRM) system
- Send you emails you have signed up for, which you can unsubscribe from at any time
- Send you text messages, but only if you have separately consented to receive them
- Understand how our website is used and improve it
- Measure and improve our advertising
- Protect our website and business, and comply with legal obligations
3. Text Messages (SMS)
We send text messages only to people who have given express consent to receive them, for example, by checking a consent box on one of our forms. Consent to receive text messages is never a condition of any purchase.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help. You can also contact us at support@beststartbiz.com.
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or your text messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties, except service providers that deliver messages on our behalf.
4. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
We use analytics and advertising tools, including Google Analytics and advertising pixels from platforms such as Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok. These tools use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our site and to measure and deliver our ads, including ads shown to you on other websites and apps.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can adjust ad preferences in your Google, Meta, and TikTok account settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of our site work.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as described here:
- Service providers that run parts of our business for us, including website hosting and site tools, email marketing (MailerLite), our CRM and scheduling platform (HighLevel), payment processing (such as Stripe, PayPal, and WooPayments), and analytics and advertising platforms (such as Google, Meta, and TikTok)
- Etsy, for purchases made through our Etsy shop
- Legal and safety: when required by law, or to protect our rights, our users, or others
- Business transfers: if our business is reorganized, merged, or sold, information may transfer as part of that transaction
6. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described above, including records of purchases and of communication consent, and then delete or anonymize it.
7. How We Protect Information
We use reasonable safeguards, including secure hosting, access controls, and trusted service providers. No website or online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Choices and Rights
- Email: use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email
- Text messages: reply STOP to any message
- Your information: you can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing support@beststartbiz.com
We will not treat you differently for exercising your privacy rights.

If you live in California, you may have additional rights under California law, including the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it, and to request that it be corrected or deleted. You can limit advertising tracking by blocking cookies or adjusting your ad settings as described in Section 4. To make a request, email support@beststartbiz.com.
10. Children
Our website and services are intended for adults starting or running businesses. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us, and we will delete it.
11. Visitors Outside the United States
We are based in the United States, and the information we collect is processed and stored there. If you are located elsewhere, including the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may have rights under your local law and can contact us to exercise them.
