Privacy Policy

Who operates this site

This website is operated by Dan Schaupner. It provides articles, interactive illustrations, and information about speaking and advisory work.

Questions about this policy or the handling of information may be sent to info@danschaupner.com.

Information collected

The site does not currently offer user accounts, purchases, or forms that submit personal information directly through the website. Information may nevertheless be collected in two ways:

• Information you choose to provide. If you contact Dan by email, the message may include your name, email address, organization, and any other information you include.
• Website usage information. When you visit, technical and interaction data may be collected automatically, such as device and browser type, approximate location derived from an IP address, referring page, pages viewed, clicks, scrolling, and time spent on the site.

Web-hosting and network providers may also process standard server logs needed to deliver, secure, and maintain the site.

Microsoft Clarity analytics

This site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site and to improve its content, navigation, accessibility, and performance.

Clarity may use first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to associate page views and distinguish browsers. Microsoft states that text entered into input fields is masked in Clarity recordings. Information collected through Clarity is processed by Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Microsoft documents Clarity’s cookie practices, consent features, and retention periods in its Clarity documentation.

Cookies and your choices

You can limit or block cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may reduce the continuity or detail of analytics but should not prevent you from reading the site. You may also clear previously stored cookies at any time.

Where required, Clarity adjusts its use of cookies based on applicable consent signals. Clarity also supports Global Privacy Control. Browser privacy controls and availability vary, so consult your browser’s help documentation for the settings available to you.

How information is used

Information described in this policy may be used to:

• deliver, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the site;
• understand which content is useful and how visitors navigate the site;
• improve design, performance, accessibility, and future content; and
• respond to messages and requests you send.

The site operator does not sell personal information. Information is not used by the site operator to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about visitors.

Sharing and retention

Information may be processed by service providers that support site hosting, security, email, and analytics, including Microsoft as the provider of Clarity. It may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, or investigate abuse.

Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, subject to service-provider settings, contractual terms, legal requirements, and backup cycles. Microsoft publishes separate retention periods for different types of Clarity data.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal information, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of information, and to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing.

To make a request, email info@danschaupner.com. Your location and identity may need to be confirmed before a request can be completed. You may also have the right to contact your local privacy or data-protection authority.

External links and children

The site may link to external websites, including LinkedIn and Microsoft. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

This site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. The site operator does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site, its services, or applicable requirements change. The effective date at the top of the page will identify the latest version.
