geekAneeze ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
The short version
We collect your name, email address, phone number, and the answers you give on our application form. We use that information to communicate with you about our educational materials. We do not sell your information. We never ask for and never collect your Social Security number, date of birth, account numbers, or copies of your identity documents.
Information we collect
When you fill out a form on our site, we collect:
Your first and last name
Your email address
Your phone number
Your answers to our application questions, which may include how you found us, your experience with consumer reports or identity theft, what you have tried before, how you prefer to learn, and what you would like to learn next
We may also automatically collect standard technical information when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the site that referred you. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies used by our website platform.
Information we do not collect
We do not request, collect, receive, or store:
Social Security numbers
Dates of birth
Bank account, credit card, or loan account numbers
Driver's license or government identification numbers
Copies of your consumer reports, credit reports, or background check files
Uploaded documents or identity records of any kind
This is a deliberate design choice. Our educational materials teach you to request and review your own consumer files yourself. We never need your sensitive information, so we never ask for it.
If anyone contacts you claiming to represent geekAneeze and requests this kind of information, it is not us. Please report it to us at the address below.
How we use your information
We use the information you give us to:
Review your application and respond to you
Send you the educational materials you requested
Communicate with you by email and, if you consented, by text message
Ask for feedback about our materials
Understand what our audience needs so we can improve our materials and develop new ones
Comply with legal obligations
Marketing communications
If you submit a form, you agree to receive email from us about your request and about our educational materials.
If you checked the box consenting to text messages, you agree to receive text messages from us at the number you provided. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Reply HELP for assistance.
You can opt out at any time. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email us directly and ask to be removed.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only with service providers that help us operate, and only to the extent needed:
Our customer relationship and marketing platform, which stores contact records and sends our email and text messages on our behalf
Our email hosting provider, which delivers mail sent to and from our business addresses
Our website and analytics providers, which host our pages and give us aggregate traffic information
These providers are bound by their own agreements and may not use your information for their own marketing.
We may also disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our legal rights.
Affiliate relationships
Some of our materials contain affiliate links to third-party services, including identity monitoring and credit monitoring products. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Clicking an affiliate link takes you to a third-party website. That company's privacy policy governs any information you provide to them, not ours. We do not receive your account details, payment information, or any personal information you provide to them.
We only recommend services we believe are useful. Our recommendations are not paid endorsements beyond the affiliate relationship disclosed here.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some site features may not work correctly if you disable cookies.
How long we keep information
We keep your contact information and application answers for as long as you remain on our list, and afterward as needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion at any time.
Your choices and rights
You may:
Ask what information we have about you
Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate
Ask us to delete your information
Opt out of email or text messages at any time
To make any of these requests, email us at the address below. We will respond within a reasonable time. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state law.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we hold. Our most important security measure is what we do not collect: because we never handle sensitive identifiers or your actual consumer files, that information cannot be exposed through us.
No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.
Children
Our materials are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Where we operate
geekAneeze operates in the United States and our materials address United States consumer reporting law. Our services are not directed to individuals outside the United States.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be communicated by email where appropriate.
