What I collect, why I collect it, and what I will never do with your data.
What I collect, why I collect it, and what I will never do with your data.

I do not sell your personal data, and I do not share it for money or for targeted advertising. I do not share your email with anyone outside the tools I use to run this site. You can unsubscribe from any email I send with one click. The rest of this page explains exactly what gets collected and why.
This site, olegkovalov.com, is owned and operated by Oleg Kovalov, sole owner of Video Hook LLC, a single-member limited liability company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA. For anything in this policy, "I", "me", and "my" mean Oleg Kovalov and Video Hook LLC. You can reach me using the details in the Contact section at the bottom of this page.
This Privacy Policy applies to everything you do on olegkovalov.com: visiting pages, reading blog posts, downloading free resources, subscribing to the email list, purchasing digital products, and contacting me through any form on the site.
When you submit your email address through any signup form on this site, I store it in my email marketing tool, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), for the purpose of sending you the resource you requested, related follow-up emails, and a periodic newsletter. Kit stores your email on its servers, which may be located outside your country. You can read how Kit handles data in Kit's own privacy policy.
I use this email to send you the free download or content you signed up for. I may send you related follow-up emails introducing other relevant content. Every marketing email includes a one-click unsubscribe link and a valid physical postal address for the business. When you unsubscribe, I stop sending you marketing email. I do not sell, rent, lend, or otherwise share your email address with third parties, and I never sell or transfer the addresses of people who have unsubscribed.
When you send a message through the Contact page, the content of that message and your email address arrive in my inbox. I use that information to reply to you. I do not add contact-form submitters to the marketing email list unless you explicitly opt in.
If you buy a digital product on the Shop, the checkout collects the information needed to complete the transaction: your name, billing address, email, and payment details. The store runs on WooCommerce, and payments are handled by a third-party payment processor (Stripe). Your full payment card details are processed by the payment processor and are never stored on this site. I keep your order history for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and customer-support purposes.
This site does not run any third-party analytics tools, advertising pixels, or marketing trackers. No Google Analytics. No Meta pixel. Nothing like that.
What I do have is standard server logging through Hostinger, my hosting provider. Server logs record basic technical information such as your IP address, the pages you requested, and the time of your visit. These logs exist for security and abuse prevention, not for marketing, and they are governed by Hostinger's own privacy policy.
I also use Google Search Console to monitor how the site appears in Google search results. Google Search Console reports only aggregate, anonymized search data about queries and clicks. It does not set any cookies on visitors to this site, it does not identify individual visitors, and I cannot use it to track you personally.
This site uses only the cookies described below. There are no analytics cookies and no advertising or marketing cookies set by this site.
You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings. Some site features (such as the cart and logging in) will not work without the strictly necessary cookies.
When you click an affiliate link on this site (Amazon Associates, B&H Photo, or another partner), the destination retailer may set a tracking cookie that lets them credit me with the sale if you buy something. This cookie is set by the retailer, not by me, and the retailer's own privacy policy governs what happens with that data. For more on how affiliate links work, and for the required affiliate disclosures, see my Affiliate Disclosure page.
Articles on this site may embed videos from YouTube, social media posts, or other third-party content. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that other website. These third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. In particular, YouTube embeds are subject to Google's privacy policy.
This site runs on WordPress hosted with Hostinger. Standard server logs may be kept by the host, including your IP address, the pages you requested, and the time of your visit. These logs are used for security and abuse prevention. Hostinger's privacy policy applies to those server logs.
I do not sell your personal data. I share data only with the service providers I use to run the site, and only so they can perform their service for me:
I may also disclose information if I am legally required to do so, for example to respond to a lawful request or to protect the security and rights of the site and its visitors.
I do not sell your personal information for money, and I do not share it for cross-context behavioral (targeted) advertising. I do not sell sensitive personal information. Where your browser sends a recognized opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), I honor it for the choices it applies to.
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of these rights. You can:
To exercise any of these rights, contact me using the details below. I may need to verify your identity before I act on a request, and I will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. Where the law in your state gives you the right to appeal a decision I make about your request, I will explain how to appeal when I respond to you.
This is a US-based, US-focused site, priced in US dollars, and it is operated from the United States. It is reachable worldwide, so if you visit from the European Union, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere, please note the following.
I process your data on these plain-English grounds: to perform our contract when you buy and download a product; with your consent for marketing emails and for non-essential cookies; and for my legitimate interests in keeping the site secure and preventing fraud. The categories of data I collect, the providers I share it with, and how long I keep it are described above. Because the site and most of my tools are based in the United States, your data is processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection rules than your home country.
If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, and port your personal data, to object to certain processing, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. For EU and UK visitors, non-essential cookies (such as affiliate cookies) are loaded only with your consent, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time.
This site is intended for a professional, adult audience and is not directed to children. I do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13 (or under the minimum age that applies in your country, for visitors outside the US). If you believe a child has submitted personal data through this site, contact me and I will delete it.
If I make a material change to this Privacy Policy, I will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify subscribers via the email list.
