Privacy Policy

What Information ThatMy.com Collects

There are three categories of information involved when you use this site: information you actively give us, information our infrastructure providers log, and information third-party affiliate networks receive when you click their links. Each is covered below.

1. Newsletter Subscriptions (Active Opt-In)

If you fill out the newsletter form at /newsletter/, you are submitting:

• Your email address (required)
• Your first name (optional)
• The date and time you subscribed, and the source page

This data is sent to and stored at MailerLite, our email service provider. MailerLite is GDPR-compliant and based in the EU. Their privacy policy is at mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy. MailerLite stores standard email engagement data (opens, clicks) for the newsletter. We use that data only to improve which topics we send. We do not sell, rent, or share the subscriber list with anyone.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the one-click link at the bottom of every newsletter email. Unsubscribing removes your address from the active sending list.

2. Direct Email Correspondence (Active Opt-In)

If you email mangesh@thatmy.com or support@thatmy.com:

• We receive your email address and the content of your message
• We use this solely to respond to your inquiry
• We do not add you to the newsletter list without your explicit consent
• We do not share your email address with any third party
• Email correspondence is stored in our mail provider's inbox and only accessible to Mangesh Supe

3. Server Access Logs (Automatic, via CDN)

The site is served through a content delivery network (Netlify), which maintains standard server access logs for security and performance. These logs typically include:

• The IP address that made the request
• The requested URL and HTTP response code
• The user-agent string (browser and operating system)
• The referring URL, if any
• A timestamp

This is standard infrastructure logging, retained for a limited period by the CDN provider and used for abuse prevention, debugging, and performance monitoring. We do not use these logs for advertising or behavioral profiling. Netlify's privacy policy is at netlify.com/privacy.

4. Affiliate Link Tracking (Third-Party)

When you click an affiliate link to a hosting company, your browser is redirected to their site with a referral parameter (typically an affiliate ID in the URL). Their server sets a cookie under their domain so they can attribute any future purchase back to ThatMy.com. We receive only aggregated commission reports from these networks, such as "3 signups this week", with no personal information about who clicked or purchased. See the Cookies section below for more on third-party cookies.

Links to Other Websites

ThatMy.com contains links to external websites, including:

• Hosting company websites (affiliate and non-affiliate links)
• Testing tool websites (k6.io, GTmetrix, Pingdom, etc.)
• Research sources (Reddit, Trustpilot, BBB, etc.)
• Professional profiles (LinkedIn)

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external website. When you leave ThatMy.com by clicking a link, the privacy policy of the destination website applies — not this one.

We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any website before you provide personal information, especially hosting company websites where you will be entering payment details. Even hosting providers we recommend highly operate independently of ThatMy.com and have their own data practices.

Your Privacy Rights

GDPR Rights (European Union Visitors)

If you are located in the European Union, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including:

• Right to access — request what personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — have inaccurate data corrected
• Right to erasure — have your personal data deleted
• Right to data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to object — object to processing of your personal data
• Right to withdraw consent — withdraw any consent you previously gave (e.g. by unsubscribing from the newsletter)

The personal data we may hold about you is limited to: (a) your email address and first name if you subscribed to the newsletter, plus engagement metadata in MailerLite, and (b) the contents of any email correspondence you have sent us. To exercise any GDPR right, email mangesh@thatmy.com with the request and the email address it concerns. We will respond within 30 days.

Our legal basis for processing newsletter subscriptions is your consent, which you gave by submitting the signup form. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.

CCPA Rights (California Residents)

California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information in any form. The only personal data we hold from California residents is the same as for any other reader: newsletter subscription data (if you subscribed) and direct email correspondence (if you emailed us). To exercise any CCPA right, including a request to access or delete your data, contact mangesh@thatmy.com.
