Effective date: July 2, 2026
Who we are: Deeez Nuuuts Consulting LLC (“we,” “us”), an Illinois limited liability company operating deeeznuuuts.com (the “Site”).

In plain English: we write about predatory privacy policies for a living, so this one is held to the standard we hold everyone else to. Every section below tells you what we actually collect, why, and what you can do about it — no “trusted partners,” no clause soup. If you catch this document doing something our own articles warn against, email us, and we will fix it publicly.
0. Run the Four-Sentence Scan on us
Our article “Privacy’s Predatory Policy” teaches readers to check four clauses in any policy before trusting it. Here are ours, up front:
- Arbitration clause: We don’t have one. This policy does not waive your right to sue us or join a class action.
- Sharing sentence: We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the named service providers in Section 4 — no unnamed “affiliates and partners.”
- Modification clause: See Section 9. Changes get a new dated version posted here, and material changes get a notice on the Site. Your continued use is not silently redefined as agreement to terms you never saw.
- Corpse clause: See Section 8. If the business is ever sold or dissolved, we specify what happens to your data rather than leaving it unwritten.
1. What we collect
We collect only what the Site needs to function:
- Information you give us directly: your name, email address, and message contents when you leave a comment, use a contact form, email us, or subscribe to updates.
- Information collected automatically: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URL — standard server logs and aggregate analytics used to keep the Site running and understand what people read.
- Cookies: functional cookies required for things like comment sessions, and analytics cookies as described in Section 3.
In plain English: if you just read the blog, we learn roughly “a browser in some city read Part 3.” If you comment or email us, we know what you told us. We do not buy data about you, append data broker profiles to you, or try to figure out who you are.
2. Why we collect it
We use this information to operate the Site, publish and moderate comments, respond to inquiries, deliver anything you subscribed to, measure aggregate readership, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. That’s the list. We do not use your information for behavioral advertising, and we do not build marketing profiles of readers.
3. Cookies, analytics, and Global Privacy Control
The Site uses functional cookies necessary for core features and analytics that report aggregate traffic. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; blocking functional cookies may affect features like commenting.
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC). If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of any sale or sharing of your personal information, regardless of what state you live in.
In plain English: we told readers GPC is the closest thing to a free lunch in privacy. It would be ridiculous for us not to honor it. We do, for everyone, not just in states where the law makes us.
4. Who we share data with (by name)
We share personal information only with service providers that process it to run the Site on our behalf:
- WordPress.com / Automattic Inc. — website hosting, comments, and site analytics. Their privacy policy: automattic.com/privacy.
- Our email provider — handling mail sent to and from [email protected].
- Podcast and embedded media platforms — if you play embedded media on the Site, the platform hosting it (identified on the embed itself) receives standard playback data from your browser.
We may also disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of us or others. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
In plain English, our article told you that the “vendors, service providers, affiliates, and partners” sentence is where policies hide everything. So this one names names. If a new processor is added, this section gets updated with the name — that’s the deal.
5. Third-party links
The Site links to external resources — research, statutes, tools, and other sites. Once you leave deeeznuuuts.com, their privacy practices apply, not ours. Given what we write about, we suggest scanning theirs too. You know the four sentences.
6. Data security and retention
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No system is 100% secure, and we will not pretend otherwise. We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in Section 2 or as required by law: comments remain until deleted by you or us; contact inquiries are kept as long as needed to handle the matter and our business records obligations; server logs and analytics are retained per our hosting provider’s standard cycles.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. Roughly twenty U.S. states now grant some version of these rights, as do the GDPR and similar laws elsewhere.
Our policy is simpler: we honor access and deletion requests from anyone, regardless of jurisdiction. Email [email protected] with your request. We will verify it using the information associated with your interaction with the Site (typically your email address) and respond within 45 days. California residents have the specific rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale/sharing under the CCPA/CPRA, exercisable the same way or via the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer. We will never discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.
In plain English: our own article points out that companies often honor these requests nationally because fifty compliance pipelines cost more than one. We are one guy and an LLC — we have exactly one pipeline, and it says yes.
8. If the business changes hands (the corpse clause)
If Deeez Nuuuts Consulting LLC is ever merged, acquired, or dissolved, personal information held by the Site may be transferred as part of that transaction. If that ever happens, we will post with prominent notice on the Site before the transfer, and any successor will be bound by this policy or must obtain your consent to a new one. You will have the opportunity to request deletion before any transfer.
In plain English: most policies bury this or omit it. Ours says it out loud: if the company dies, your data does not become estate-sale inventory without you hearing about it first.
9. Changes to this policy
When we update this policy, we will post the new version here with a new effective date and keep a brief changelog below. For material changes — anything that expands what we collect or who we share with — we will post a notice on the Site. We will not rely on “continued use constitutes acceptance” as a substitute for actually telling you.
Changelog:
July 2, 2026 — Full rewrite: named processors, GPC commitment, universal access/deletion rights, corpse clause added, continued-use modification clause removed.
10. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us, and we will delete it.
