Respond to questions, inquiries, and requests.
Deliver newsletter subscriptions and requested materials.
Arrange meetings and follow up on business discussions.

3. Newsletter and Email Communications

The Middleman’s Cut newsletter is managed through Kit, an email marketing platform.

When you subscribe, information associated with your subscription may be processed and stored by Kit to manage delivery, subscriptions, and related email communications.

Depending on your interaction with the site, we may use subscription forms or source information to understand how readers discovered the newsletter or requested specific resources.

Kit’s privacy practices are governed by its own policies.

We do not treat submitting a general contact inquiry as automatic consent to receive our newsletter.

4. Website Forms and Scheduling

Our website uses WordPress-based contact forms to receive general inquiries, messages, and bulk-book requests.

Information submitted through these forms is used to respond to the inquiry and manage any resulting correspondence.

When you schedule a conversation through Calendly, information you provide is also processed by Calendly under its applicable privacy practices.

Please do not submit sensitive personal health information, Social Security numbers, financial account information, passwords, or other confidential data through general website contact forms.

5. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website and the services integrated with it may use cookies and similar technologies to support website operation, security, preferences, analytics, and embedded functionality.

Depending on the services enabled, these technologies may help us understand website traffic, improve visitor experience, and measure the effectiveness of our content.

You can manage or restrict many cookies through your browser settings. Some website functions may not work as intended when certain cookies are disabled.

6. Sharing Information With Service Providers

We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our website and deliver requested services.

These may include:

Website hosting and security providers.
Kit for email subscriptions and newsletter delivery.
Calendly for appointment scheduling.
Website form and email-delivery providers.
Analytics and technical service providers.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect the rights, security, and integrity of our website and operations.

We do not sell subscriber email lists or contact information to third-party list brokers.

7. External Websites and Organizations

Our website may link to external services and organizations, including Amazon, LinkedIn, Nautilus Health Institute, Contract X-Ray, and other third-party resources.

These websites operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Ditto & Associates, The Middleman’s Cut, Nautilus Health Institute, and Contract X-Ray have distinct organizational or operational roles. This policy applies specifically to information collected through the Ditto & Associates website and its associated forms and services.

8. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services and communications, maintain appropriate business records, and meet applicable legal obligations.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
