Effective Date: [INSERT DATE]
Welcome to stacypaetz.com. I'm Stacy Paetz — a television host and sideline reporter who also works as an executive producer and voice-over artist. This privacy policy explains what information I collect when you visit my website, sign up for coaching, request a booking, or contact me through my forms. I'll be straightforward about how I use and protect that information.
This policy covers everything collected through stacypaetz.com, its subdomains, and connected services. By using my site, you're agreeing to these terms. If that doesn't work for you, please don't use the site.
I may update this policy occasionally. The “Last Updated” date at the bottom tells you when. If I make significant changes that affect your privacy, I'll give you a heads-up — either by email or with a notice on the site.
When you reach out, I collect what you share:
Your name, email address, phone number, and whatever you write in a contact form, coaching inquiry, booking request, or speaking engagement inquiry. If you sign up for my newsletter or coaching program, I collect your email and any preferences you indicate. If you submit a testimonial or feedback, I may collect that too (and I'll ask before displaying it publicly).
When you visit my site, I automatically collect some technical information. This includes your browser and operating system, your IP address, which pages you visit, how long you stay, and roughly where you're located (country or region level from your IP). I collect this through server logs, cookies, and tracking pixels.
I use cookies to improve your experience, remember your preferences, and see how the site is performing. Some expire when you close your browser (session cookies), others stick around to remember your login (persistent cookies). I use Google Analytics to understand which pages are popular and where visitors come from. Social media widgets from Instagram or Twitter may set their own cookies when you interact with them. I also use tracking pixels in emails to see if they were opened.
I process your information for specific reasons, each with a legal basis:
If you opt into marketing emails or my newsletter, here's what I commit to: every commercial email will include a clear unsubscribe option, subject lines will accurately describe the content, emails will include my physical business address, I'll honor opt-out requests within 10 business days, and I won't sell or share your email address with third parties for their own marketing.
I don't sell, trade, or rent your personal information. Period.
I do share information in these limited situations: with service providers who help run my site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing) — they're required by contract to protect your data and only use it for the work I've hired them to do. If required by law, court order, or government request. If stacypaetz.com is ever sold or transferred, your information may be part of that transaction — you'd be notified. If you click links to P8Z Clothing Co, their platform and privacy policy govern from that point. And with your explicit consent for things like publishing a testimonial.
My site uses these categories of third-party services:
All vendors are contractually required to comply with applicable privacy laws. I can provide details about specific vendor data practices on request.
Most browsers let you control cookies through your settings. You can disable them entirely (though some site features may not work), accept only certain types, delete existing cookies, or set warnings when cookies are placed. Check your browser's help documentation for specifics.
For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop tracking.
Social media platforms may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded content from Twitter/X or Instagram — those are governed by their privacy policies.
My site links to external sites including my Twitter/X and Instagram profiles, booking platforms, the P8Z Clothing Co store, and video hosting like YouTube. I'm not responsible for how those sites handle your information. When you click away from stacypaetz.com, you're on their turf — check their privacy policies before sharing personal information.
I use standard safeguards: secure server hosting with encryption, restricted access to personal information, and regular security monitoring.
I'm going to be straightforward with you — no website is 100% secure. The internet itself isn't completely secure. I do my best, but I can't promise absolute safety. If you ever think your information has been compromised, contact me immediately (Section 14).
If a confirmed data breach occurs, I will notify affected users within 72 hours via email. The notification will include what data was accessed, when the breach occurred, steps I'm taking to secure the data, and steps you should take to protect yourself. For EU/EEA residents, I'll also notify the relevant data protection authority within 72 hours as required by GDPR. For California residents, I'll comply with CCPA breach notification requirements.
You can:
The California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act give you specific rights:
Right to Know: Request what personal information I collect, use, and share about you. Under CCPA, I collect these categories: (A) Identifiers — name, email, phone; (B) Commercial information — coaching inquiries, service preferences; (C) Professional information — background shared during coaching; (D) Internet/network activity — device info, IP, usage data; (E) Approximate location; (F) Inferences drawn to provide personalized services.
Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information (some exceptions apply).
Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information I maintain about you.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: I don't currently sell your information. To submit a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” request, contact me at [CONTACT_EMAIL] or use the link on the homepage. I'll honor requests within 45 days.
Right to Limit Sensitive Data: You may request that I limit use of sensitive personal information (including precise geolocation, health data, and similar information) to only what's necessary to provide services you requested.
Right to Non-Discrimination: I won't treat you differently for exercising your CCPA rights.
I'll respond to verified requests within 45 days.
The General Data Protection Regulation provides you with these rights: access (request a copy of your data), rectification (correct inaccurate information), erasure (“right to be forgotten” in certain circumstances), restrict processing, data portability (receive your data in a portable format), object to processing (including for marketing), and withdraw consent at any time.
I act as the data controller for information collected through this site. I have not appointed a Data Protection Officer but remain committed to GDPR compliance. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
For international data transfers from the EU/EEA to the United States, I rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the EU Commission. You may request a copy of these transfer mechanisms by contacting me.

If you're a parent or guardian: If you believe your child under 13 has given me information, contact me immediately at [CONTACT_EMAIL]. I will verify your identity, tell you what data was collected, delete the data upon request, and confirm deletion within 10 business days.
I keep your information only as long as I need it. Here are the specific timelines:
I conduct periodic reviews of retained data and securely delete information that has exceeded its retention period.
Stacypaetz.com is hosted and operated in the United States. If you're visiting from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed here. Data protection laws in the US may differ from your country. For EU/EEA residents, I use Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure compliant international transfers.
I'm committed to making stacypaetz.com accessible to all visitors, including those with disabilities. I work toward meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.
If you experience any accessibility barriers while using this site, please contact me at [CONTACT_EMAIL] with details about the issue. I'll work to resolve it promptly and welcome feedback on how to serve all visitors better.
I may update this policy to reflect changes in practices, technology, or legal requirements. Changes will be posted here with an updated “Last Updated” date. If material changes significantly affect your privacy, I'll notify you by email or with a prominent notice on the site.
Continued use of stacypaetz.com after changes means you accept the updated policy.
