Who this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Mad Entrepreneurs collects, uses, discloses, and protects information from public website visitors, podcast guests, investors, finance clients, account users, and people who contact us through the platform.

Information you provide

We may collect information you choose to submit, including your name, email address, phone number, business or company details, podcast inquiry details, investor access information, finance client profile information, financial inputs, goals, session notes, documents you upload, and messages sent through contact or support forms.

Account, portal, and financial workflow information

If you use an investor portal, client portal, admin area, statement builder, document vault, or similar authenticated feature, we may process account credentials, role permissions, login activity, investor records, client records, reports, notes, documents, and workflow activity needed to provide, secure, audit, and support those features.

Information collected automatically

We may collect technical and usage information such as IP address, device and browser details, referring pages, pages viewed, approximate location derived from technical data, timestamps, and interactions with site features. Cookies, local storage, analytics scripts, or similar technologies may be used to keep the site working, remember preferences, measure performance, detect abuse, and understand how visitors use the site.

How we use information

We use information to operate the public site, deliver podcast and media content, respond to inquiries, manage investor and finance client workflows, provide authenticated portal access, send transactional emails, maintain records, improve site performance, protect against fraud or unauthorized access, comply with legal obligations, and support internal business operations.

Analytics, cookies, and similar technologies

The site uses required cookies or local storage for authenticated portal sessions, UI preferences, and security controls. Vercel Web Analytics is currently rendered on the public site. Google Analytics and Sentry are optional and only operate when their environment configuration is enabled. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, but some features may not work correctly without required cookies or local storage. If non-essential analytics, advertising, or similar technologies are added for users in jurisdictions requiring consent, the site should provide the required consent controls before those technologies are enabled.

Service providers and integrations

We may share information with vendors and service providers that help operate the platform, such as hosting providers, database and authentication providers, content management tools, email delivery services, analytics providers, error monitoring providers, payment or finance workflow vendors if added, and professional advisors. These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services to us, subject to their own agreements and policies.

Legal, security, and business disclosures

We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, enforce our terms, protect users or the platform, investigate security incidents, respond to lawful requests, prevent fraud, or complete a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or transfer of business assets.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing the service, maintaining investor or client records, complying with legal, tax, accounting, audit, and regulatory obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods may vary by data type and user relationship.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including authenticated access and role-based permissions where appropriate. No website, database, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure, so users should avoid submitting information that is not necessary for the service requested.

Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, portability of, or limits on certain uses of your personal information. You may also request that we update contact details or close an account, subject to legal, contractual, tax, accounting, regulatory, audit, security, and operational retention requirements.

California and other state privacy rights

If a state privacy law applies to our relationship with you, we will honor applicable rights and required notices. We do not intend to sell personal information. If the platform later uses technologies that are considered a sale, share, or targeted advertising under applicable law, the site should be updated with the required opt-out notices and controls before those technologies are enabled.

Children's privacy

The platform is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Third-party links and embedded content

The site may link to third-party content and services, including YouTube, social platforms, guest websites, investor tools, or other external services. Current YouTube usage is primarily for media metadata, thumbnails, and outbound links rather than embedded playback frames. Third parties may collect information under their own privacy policies when you visit or interact with their services, and this policy does not control their practices.

Contact us

For privacy requests or questions, use the public contact form or the contact address shown in the site footer. We may ask for information needed to verify and process your request.
