Privacy Policy

Overview

This site is operated by Luis Felipe Duque under the brand Planning Engineered (planningengineered.com). This policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how it is used. The short version: I collect as little as possible, I don't sell your data, and you can opt out of everything.

Information Collected

Email addresses

If you subscribe to the newsletter via the form on this site, your email address is stored by Substack and used to send the Planning Engineered newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. Substack's privacy policy applies: substack.com/privacy.

Contact form submissions

If you submit a message through the contact form, your name, email address, and message are stored by Tally and forwarded to luis@planningengineered.com. Tally's privacy policy applies: tally.so/help/privacy-policy. Your information is used only to respond to your inquiry and is never sold or shared.

Instagram comments and messages

When you comment on a Planning Engineered post on Instagram, I see your public username and your comment. If your comment asks for one of my guides (for example, "START"), an automated tool sends you one direct message with the link, using Meta's official Instagram API. To avoid sending the same message twice, it keeps a record of your username, your comment, the post, and when the message was sent. That record is used for nothing else and is never sold or shared. To have it deleted, email luis@planningengineered.com.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site (pages visited, time on site, general location). This data is anonymized and aggregated. No personally identifiable information is collected. You can opt out using Google's opt-out tool.

Cookies

This site itself does not set tracking cookies. Third-party services embedded on this site (Google Analytics, Tally, YouTube video embeds) may set their own cookies in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can manage cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site, particularly on the Resources page, are Amazon affiliate links using the tag planningengin-20. If you click one and make a purchase, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is disclosed on every page that contains affiliate links. I only recommend products I actually use.

External Links

This site links to YouTube, Substack, LinkedIn, Instagram, Amazon, Ríos de Oro, and other external services. Once you leave planningengineered.com, their privacy policies govern. I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. Newsletter subscriptions are maintained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained per Google's standard data retention settings. Records of Instagram guide requests are kept so the same person is not messaged twice, and are deleted on request.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal information you have provided. To request deletion of a contact form submission or any other data, email luis@planningengineered.com and it will be handled promptly.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated occasionally. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
