Proof Not Hype ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website proofnothype.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you voluntarily submit information through our website, we may collect:

  • Your name and email address when you subscribe to The Grown Up Market newsletter
  • Any information you provide when scheduling a meeting through our calendar booking link
  • Information included in any messages you send us directly

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies:

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4, implemented through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors interact with our website. This includes data such as pages visited, time spent on site, scroll depth, referral sources, and general engagement metrics. Google Analytics may use cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. You can learn more about how Google processes this data at Google's Privacy Policy.

Visitor Identification (RB2B)
When you visit or log in to our website, cookies and similar technologies may be used by our online data partners or vendors to associate these activities with other personal information they or others have about you, including by association with your email. We (or service providers on our behalf) may then send communications and marketing to these email addresses. You may opt out of receiving this advertising by visiting https://app.retention.com/optout.

RB2B provides company-level identification for all website visitors globally. For visitors based in the United States, person-level identification may also occur. This data helps us understand what types of organizations are visiting our website and tailor our outreach accordingly.

Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager to manage tracking scripts on our website. GTM itself does not collect personal data, but it enables other tools (such as Google Analytics and RB2B) to function as described in this policy.
