Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 15, 2026

This is a general template, not a substitute for legal advice. If your audience includes visitors from places with specific data-privacy laws (like the EU/UK under GDPR or California under CCPA), it's worth having an attorney confirm this policy covers what's legally required for your situation.

1. What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy explains what information Aligned by Rya Hodges ("Aligned," "I," "we") collects through ryahodges.com, how it's used, and the choices you have.

2. Information Collected

The site collects information you provide directly, through two forms:

The contact form: your name, email address, business name, and message.
The Starter Kit opt-in: your email address.

No other personal information is collected automatically. The site does not use tracking or advertising cookies.

3. How Information Is Used

Information submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Information submitted through the Starter Kit opt-in is used to deliver the requested download and may be used to follow up about related offerings, such as The Systems Vault waitlist.

4. Third-Party Services

This site relies on a small number of third-party services to operate:

Netlify Forms processes and stores form submissions.
Google Calendar handles call scheduling if you book a discovery call.
Payment processors (such as Stripe or a similar provider) handle checkout for paid services; Aligned does not directly store your payment card details.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data.

5. Data Retention

Form submissions are retained as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or deliver the requested service, or until you request deletion.

6. Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information at any time by emailing hello@ryahodges.com.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is intended for business owners and is not directed at children. Aligned does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
