KPsphere is operated by KPsphere LLC. This page describes exactly what data we hold, who else sees it, and how to have it removed. If anything here is unclear, email info@kpsphere.com and we will answer plainly.
Your email address, and optionally your name, role and organisation if you choose to provide them. That is all — we do not ask for anything else, and nothing is required beyond the email address.
Your chosen sectors, any companies you ask us to track, and a record of research requests you make. Payment is processed by Stripe. We never see, receive or store your card details — Stripe tells us only that a payment succeeded, which plan, and the email address used.
We count page views to see which research people find useful. Our own tracker records the page, the date, a coarse traffic-source category (search, social, email, direct), and — if you scroll or stay — how far and how long. It stores no IP addresses and sets no cookies.
We use a small number of outside services. Each is listed here with what it receives, because a privacy policy that only describes our own systems would be incomplete.
| Service | What it receives |
|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Present on most public pages. It sets cookies and collects your IP address, device and browser details, and the pages you visit. This is standard web analytics and is separate from our own cookie-free tracker. You can block it with any ad blocker or browser setting without affecting how the site works. |
| Google Fonts | Typefaces load from Google's servers, which means Google receives your IP address when a page loads. |
| YouTube | Some pages embed videos. YouTube sets its own cookies when a video is played. |
| Stripe | Handles all payments. Receives your card details directly — never through us — plus your email and billing address. |
| Resend | Delivers our emails. Receives your email address and the message content. |
| Bluehost | Hosts the website and stores the subscriber list on its servers. |
| GitHub | Holds an encrypted-at-rest daily backup of site data, including the subscriber list, in a private repository. |
Subscriber records are kept while you are subscribed and removed when you unsubscribe. Page-view counts are aggregate and not linked to any individual. Payment records are retained by Stripe under their own retention rules, which we do not control.
If you are in the EU, UK or California, you have these rights under GDPR, UK GDPR or the CCPA. We apply them to everyone regardless of location, because maintaining two standards would be more work than simply doing the better one.
The subscriber list is not publicly accessible and is served only over authenticated connections. Paid subscribers are identified by a random token rather than a password, so there is no password for us to store or for anyone to steal. Card details never touch our servers.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever discover a breach affecting your data, we will tell you directly rather than waiting to be asked.
This site is intended for professional and adult audiences. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
If this policy changes materially, we will update the date above and note the change. We will not quietly broaden what we collect.
