Privacy policy
Effective September 25, 2026. This policy covers the website at www.tradedocsstudio.com, operated by TradeDocsStudio (Just Web Support LLC, Brooklyn, New York), and the products and tools we publish.
Short version: this website has no accounts and no advertising. Our only forms are the optional “Questions or ideas?” form and the free starter pack signup, both used only if you choose to fill them in. We use two privacy-configured analytics tools (Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity) to understand which pages and guides are useful; they do not identify you by name and we never sell or share the data. Purchases happen on Etsy, Gumroad or Amazon under their privacy policies, and our free Chrome extension stores your inputs only on your own device.
The “Questions or ideas?” form
If you use the form at the bottom of each page, we receive your multiple-choice answers, your name, your email address, your phone number and message if you choose to give them, and the page you were on. Your email address is used only to reply to you. We do not send an automatic confirmation, add you to a mailing list because of this form, or share your details. The message is delivered to our support mailbox through Brevo (our email delivery provider) and Cloudflare, and we keep it only as long as needed to answer you and plan future products, normally no more than 24 months. To ask for access or deletion, email hello@tradedocsstudio.com.
Free starter pack and email list
If you ask for a free starter pack, we collect your email address, the trade you choose, the page you signed up on and the time you agreed. We use them to email you the download link and, only because you ticked the consent box, a short series of follow-up emails with tips, related free tools and occasional offers. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also reply “unsubscribe” or write to hello@tradedocsstudio.com to be removed or have your data deleted. Your details are stored and the emails are sent by Brevo, our email service provider, and are never sold. We keep them until you unsubscribe. To avoid showing you the same offer repeatedly, your browser stores a small note (local storage) saying you have seen the offer or signed up.
Information we collect on this website
The website is a static site served by Cloudflare. We do not run advertising pixels. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard server data (your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. That data is handled under Cloudflare's privacy policy; we do not receive it in a form that identifies you.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits, page views, referral sources and approximate location (country or city level, derived from a truncated IP address that Google does not store). It is configured with IP anonymisation and with Google Signals and advertising features turned off, so the data is not used for ad personalisation. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*) that expire after up to 2 years. Details: How Google uses data from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use the site through heatmaps and anonymised session replays, which helps us fix confusing pages and improve the free tools. Clarity masks the text you type into forms and calculators by default; the numbers you enter in our tools are not recorded. Clarity sets cookies (_clck, _clsk, MUID) and processes data under the Microsoft Privacy Statement. You can opt out of Clarity on the Clarity opt-out page.
Our lawful basis for analytics is legitimate interest in understanding and improving a free informational website. If you prefer not to be measured at all, the opt-out links above, a tracker-blocking browser extension, or your browser's “block third-party cookies” setting will stop both tools; the site works normally without them.
Embedded content and outbound links
Product pages embed preview videos from YouTube. When a video loads, YouTube (Google) may set cookies and collect data as described in the Google privacy policy. The site links out to Etsy, Gumroad, Amazon, YouTube, Pinterest and Quora; those sites have their own policies once you leave ours.
Purchases
We do not process payments on this website. When you buy a template or bundle, the transaction, your payment details, your email address and the download delivery are handled entirely by the store you buy from: Etsy, Gumroad or Amazon for the printed workbooks. Those platforms show us the information needed to fulfil and support an order (typically your name, the item bought and the order date); we use it only for that purpose and do not add you to any mailing list.
If you email hello@tradedocsstudio.com, we keep the message for as long as needed to reply and handle any follow-up, then delete it. We do not share it with anyone else.
Chrome extension
Our free Service Business Toolkit extension saves the numbers you enter and your checklist progress in Chrome's local storage on your own device. It has no background process, makes no network requests and sends nothing to us or to anyone else. The full policy is on the extension privacy policy page.
Children
The site and products are intended for business owners and staff. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
Your rights
Because we hold almost no personal data, most requests are best directed to the store you purchased from. If you believe we hold information about you (for example an email exchange) and want it corrected or deleted, write to hello@tradedocsstudio.com and we will do so. Residents of the EEA, the UK and California have additional rights under GDPR, the UK GDPR and the CCPA, including access, deletion and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them; we honour all of these.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date at the top will be updated. Material changes will be noted on this page.
