Privacy Policy

Last updated October 29, 2026.

This policy explains what Shopify Owners Newsletter collects and why. In short: we collect your email only if you subscribe, we ask before loading anything optional, and we never sell your data. This is a static informational site with no user accounts.

What we collect

Newsletter email: if you subscribe, the email you provide is used to send the briefing. Submissions are handled by a third-party form/email provider (configured at deployment); until one is configured, the form falls back to your own email client.
Contact messages: if you email us or use the contact form, we receive the details you send.
Your cookie choice: the answer you give in the cookie dialog is stored in your browser (local storage key yei-consent). It stays on your device and is not sent to us.

Advertising & affiliates

This site does not currently load any advertising or analytics scripts; the ad slots you may see are labelled placeholders. Some pages include affiliate links to tools. Affiliate links are clearly marked and use rel="sponsored nofollow"; see our affiliate disclosure. We may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.

Cookies & consent

On your first visit a dialog asks you to choose Accept required or Accept all; the two buttons are equal, and Accept required gives you full access to every page. The only optional item this site can load after Accept all is embedded YouTube video (privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com player), found on the legacy archive blog page. Your choice is stored in your browser, applies to all publications on youressentialinsights.com, and can be changed any time from the “Cookie choices” link in the footer. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as Accept required and do not ask. See the Cookies & GDPR page for details.

Your rights

Depending on your location (including under GDPR), you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any edition. To exercise any right, contact us.

Data retention & security

We keep subscriber emails only while you remain subscribed and contact messages only as long as needed to respond. Because this is a static site, the data you submit is processed by the third-party providers we connect (form/email), each under their own policies.

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
