Privacy Policy for GlideState.com

Effective Date: June 2, 2026
Last Updated: June 2, 2026

Glide State (“Glide State,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit GlideState.com (the “Site”), contact us, submit a form, or otherwise interact with us.

This Privacy Policy is intended as a practical starting point for a small U.S.-based consultancy website. It should be reviewed and customized based on the actual tools, services, and legal requirements that apply to your business.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

Information You Provide Directly

You may choose to provide us with personal information, such as:

  • your name
  • email address
  • company name
  • phone number
  • project details or other information you include in a contact form or message


Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Site, certain information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address
  • browser type and version
  • device type
  • operating system
  • referring website
  • pages viewed and time spent on the Site
  • approximate location derived from IP address
  • other usage or analytics data


Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand Site traffic, improve performance, and support basic website functions. You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings.

2. How We Use Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • respond to inquiries and communicate with you
  • provide information about our services
  • operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • understand how visitors use the Site
  • troubleshoot technical issues and protect the Site
  • comply with legal obligations
  • detect, prevent, or address fraud, abuse, or security issues

We do not use personal information for purposes materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without updating this notice.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: with vendors who help us operate the Site, host the Site, manage forms, analyze traffic, or provide similar business services
  • Legal compliance: when required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request
  • Protection of rights: when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, privacy, safety, property, or those of others
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction

If we use third-party providers, they may process information on our behalf subject to their own terms and privacy practices.

4. Analytics and Third-Party Tools

We may use third-party tools and services to help us understand website traffic and user behavior.

Examples may include:

  • website hosting and builder tools
  • form processing tools
  • analytics providers such as Google Analytics
  • experience analytics tools such as Contentsquare or Hotjar
  • scheduling or embedded contact tools

GlideState.com is currently expected to use the following third-party tools and services:

  • Hostinger for website hosting and related infrastructure
  • WordPress and Elementor to build and operate the Site
  • Google Analytics to understand website traffic and general visitor behavior
  • Contentsquare and/or Hotjar to understand how visitors engage with the Site, including aggregated behavior, experience analytics, and similar interaction insights

These providers may collect information such as usage data, browser and device information, page interactions, and similar technical or behavioral data in accordance with their own privacy practices. If you use a specific embedded service on the Site, that provider may also collect information directly from you. If we change or add tools over time, we may update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

5. Cookies and Your Choices

This Site may use cookies and similar technologies through WordPress, Elementor, Google Analytics, Contentsquare, Hotjar, Hostinger, and other supporting services that help operate and improve the Site.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You may be able to set your browser to refuse some cookies or alert you when cookies are being used. Please note that some parts of the Site may not function properly without certain cookies.

If you want to limit Google Analytics tracking in your browser, Google provides a browser add-on for that purpose. Some analytics or experience tools may also offer their own opt-out or privacy controls.

If you use a browser-based opt-out for analytics tools, that choice may apply only to the browser and device you use at the time.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, this Site does not currently respond to them.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under applicable law, including rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, if those laws apply to our business.

Important: Many state privacy laws apply only when a business meets certain thresholds. A small consultancy may not be legally required to offer every right described under every state law. This policy should be reviewed based on your business size, revenue, data practices, and customer base.

11. International Visitors

Glide State is based in the United States. If you visit the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States.

12. Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
