Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
Tech Skills by Mail ("we," "us," or "our") operates techskillsbymail.com and sells a printed iPhone course. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We collect as little as we can, and we never sell your information.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you request our free practice card, we collect your email address and, if you give it, your first name. When you order, our payment processor collects your name, email, shipping address, and payment details, plus your phone number and a gift message if you choose to give them.
Payment information. Payments are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. Your card number never touches our servers. Stripe's handling of your information is governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
Practice-page activity. Our binder and our free card include QR codes that open practice pages on our site. When you visit one of these pages, we record which practice page was opened, an optional non-personal tag, and the time of the visit. Nothing else. These records contain no name, email, IP address, or device information, and we use them only to see whether lessons are working.
Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand overall site traffic (page views, referrers, general region). It is aggregated and anonymized, does not use cookies, and does not track you across other websites.
Advertising measurement. We use the Meta Pixel to measure our Facebook and Instagram ads, for example whether someone who saw an ad later ordered. It sets a cookie and shares page visits and order events with Meta, under Meta's privacy policy.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Ship your order to the address you provide at checkout
- Send you emails about your order and, if you asked for our free card, a few emails about using your iPhone and our products
- Answer your questions, including through our help line
- Understand, in aggregate, how the site and lessons are being used so we can improve them
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing.
Where your information lives
Email signups from our free card are stored in Google Workspace (Google Sheets). Payment details are stored with Stripe. Order records (your name, email, phone number if given, shipping address, and gift details) are stored with Stripe and in our order database, hosted by Supabase. Anonymous practice-page records are also stored with Supabase. Our website is hosted on Vercel. Each of these providers processes data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments.
Cookies
Our own site doesn't use tracking cookies. The Meta Pixel described above sets its own cookie. If we ask for cookie consent, we store your choice in a single cookie so we don't ask again.
We send order emails (your receipt and shipping updates) and, if you requested our free card, a few short emails about using your iPhone and our products. You can opt out of non-essential email at any time by replying to any message or emailing us at the address below.
How long we keep information
We keep signup and order records for as long as you're a customer and as long as we reasonably need them afterward for bookkeeping and tax purposes. You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see below).
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to:
- Show you the personal information we have about you
- Correct or update it
- Delete it
Just email scott@techskillsbymail.com and we'll take care of it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); we'll honor valid requests under those laws too.
Children
Our website and checkout are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on the site or by email.
