Privacy policy
Last updated: October 19, 2026
This privacy policy describes how Small Biz Cyber Guide (“the site,” operated by Christopher Smith) handles information when you visit smallbizcyberguide.com. The site is published by Northline Digital LLC.
What this site is
The site is a static informational site with buyer guides. It does not require you to create an account to read content.
Information we may collect
- Server and CDN logs: Hosting providers (for example Cloudflare Pages) typically log IP address, user agent, referrer, and request times for security and reliability. We do not use those logs to identify you for marketing unless required to investigate abuse.
- Analytics (if enabled later): If privacy-respecting analytics are added, this policy will be updated to name the tool and what it collects.
- Email subscriptions: If you sign up for the checklist or updates, your email address is collected and stored by Kit (our email provider) so we can send the checklist and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in those emails. Downloading the checklist PDF on the site does not require an email signup.
- Email you send us: If you email [email protected], we receive whatever you include in that message so we can reply.
- Affiliate and outbound links: Clicking an affiliate or vendor link takes you to a third-party site with its own privacy practices. Those sites may set cookies or track referrals.
Embedded and linked services
The site links to (but does not embed) YouTube videos and vendor websites. When you follow those links, the destination’s own privacy policy applies.
Cookies
The static pages themselves do not set marketing cookies. Your browser and any CDN, analytics, or third-party destination you visit may set cookies according to their policies.
How we use information
- To operate and secure the site
- To respond to messages you send
- To understand aggregate traffic (if analytics are enabled)
We do not sell your personal information.
Third parties
Hosting, DNS, Kit (for email subscribers), and affiliate networks process data under their own terms. Review vendor privacy policies before purchasing through outbound links.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this page. The “Last updated” date will change when we do.
