The Web Agency Stack

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data The Web Agency Stack collects, why, and what rights you have. It applies to thewebagencystack.com, its newsletter, and its free guide, The Web Agency Playbook.

Who is responsible for your data

The Web Agency Stack is operated by Sedj (“I”, “me”, “we”). For any question about this policy or your data, contact: hello@thewebagencystack.com

What data I collect and why

1. Newsletter and free guide When you request The Web Agency Playbook or subscribe to the newsletter, I collect your email address and the record of your consent (date, time and the form you used). I use it only to:

  • send you the guide you requested,
  • send you emails about running and growing a web agency: hosting, security, pricing, client management, and new videos from The Web Agency Stack,
  • including a short automated welcome series in the days after you subscribe, followed by a regular newsletter, usually weekly.

These emails may include recommendations for tools I use, some of them through affiliate links (see “Affiliate links” below). Every email includes a link to unsubscribe in one click.

Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You confirm it twice: by ticking the consent box, and by clicking the confirmation link in the first email.

2. Website analytics With your consent, I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on site, approximate location, device and browser type). This helps me improve the content. Google Analytics only runs after you accept analytics cookies in the cookie banner.

Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

3. Contact by email If you email me, I use your email address and message only to reply to you.

Legal basis: my legitimate interest in responding to your request (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Services that process your data

I use trusted third-party services to run this site:

  • Kit (email newsletter platform): stores subscriber email addresses and sends emails.
  • Google Analytics (Google): measures website usage, only with your consent.
  • My website hosting provider: stores the website and its technical server logs.

Some of these providers are located in the United States. Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.

I never sell your personal data.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site, in the newsletter and in the free guide are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link, the destination company may place its own cookie in your browser to record the referral. That data is handled under the destination company’s own privacy policy.

Cookies

  • Strictly necessary cookies: required for the site to work, and for remembering your cookie choice. These do not need consent.
  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): set only if you accept them. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie settings link on the site.

How long I keep your data

  • Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe. After that, your email address is removed from the active list.
  • Analytics data: kept according to the retention period set in Google Analytics, after which it is deleted automatically.
  • Emails you send me: as long as needed to answer you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, and in particular under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access the personal data I hold about you,
  • correct it,
  • have it deleted,
  • restrict or object to its processing,
  • receive it in a portable format,
  • withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.

To unsubscribe, click the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email. For any other request, email hello@thewebagencystack.com. I will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.

Children

This site and newsletter are intended for business owners and professionals. They are not directed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy when the site or its tools change. The date at the top always shows the latest version.
