Trust & Safety

How We Handle Your Data, Your Money, and Your Privacy

No tracking pixels. No data selling. No surveillance theater. Just the actual security architecture — and what we don't do.

Payment

We Never See Your Card

Stripe handles all billing. We never touch your payment data at any point in the transaction.

What we see

  • Your email address
  • Your name (what you give us)
  • Purchase amount and date

What we never see

  • Card number
  • CVV / security code
  • Billing address
  • Card expiry date

Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified — the highest level of payment security certification available.

Accounts

Your Password Is Not Recoverable Even By Us

We don't store your password. We store a one-way hash — meaning there is no "decrypt and retrieve" operation available, to anyone.

Hashing

PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations via the Web Crypto API. Even if our database leaked, brute-forcing the hashes would take centuries at modern hardware speeds.

Sessions

JWT session cookies with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax flags. They expire after 30 days. JavaScript on the page cannot read them.

No Social Login

We don't offer "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Facebook." We don't want them knowing you're here either.

Tracking

What We Don't Track

  • No Google Analytics
  • No Facebook Pixel
  • No tracking pixels on member pages — logged-in routes are pixel-free
  • No third-party advertising cookies
  • No session recording (Hotjar, FullStory, or equivalent)
  • Self-hosted Plausible analytics — cookie-free, GDPR-compliant, served from our own domain at applause.dominant-guide.com
  • Server-side purchase events — only on confirmed purchases, no per-page profile building
  • UTM capture for source attribution — first-touch only, deleted after 30 days
Email

What's In Your Subscriber Profile

We use Kit.com (formerly ConvertKit) to manage our email list. Here's the complete picture of what that profile contains:

  • Email address
  • First name — if you chose to provide it
  • Subscriber tags showing which content interests you (e.g. quiz result, purchased products)

That's it. No demographic profiling. No inferred attributes. No shared lists. No data sold to third parties for any reason.

You can request a full data export or request deletion at hello@dominant-guide.com. We process both within 5 business days.

Infrastructure

Edge-Hardened by Default

The site runs on Cloudflare Pages with hardened HTTP headers on every response. None of this requires you to configure anything — it's baked in.

Strict-Transport-Security

max-age=15552000 — browsers enforce HTTPS for 6 months, even if you type the URL manually

Content-Security-Policy

Strict policy blocking unauthorized scripts, styles, and resource origins

X-Frame-Options

DENY — this site cannot be embedded in an iframe on another domain

Referrer-Policy

strict-origin-when-cross-origin — we don't leak full URLs to third-party services

Cloudflare DDoS

Enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation at the edge before traffic reaches our origin

TLS 1.3

All routes served over TLS 1.3 — the latest and most secure transport protocol

Promises

The Lines We Won't Cross

  1. We won't sell your data. Not to advertisers. Not to data brokers. Not to AI training companies. Not to anyone.
  2. We won't add tracking pixels to member-only pages. What you consume behind the login stays between you and us.
  3. We won't email-bomb you. Unsubscribe is one click. We honor it instantly — no re-subscribing you, no "final offer" loop.
  4. We won't quietly sunset your account. If we ever shut down, you get 90 days notice and a data export before anything goes dark.
  5. We won't change these promises without telling you in writing. If this page changes materially, we notify our list first.
