Privacy

codaslabs.com is run by Codas Labs, LLC (“Codas Labs”, “we”, “us”), 1300 South Blvd, Suite 38821, Charlotte, NC 28203, United States.

This website has two forms: a sign-up for our newsletter, The Multiplier, and a contact form. It uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used and advertising pixels to measure and show our ads to people who visited. This page explains what each of those does with your information.

Who runs this site

Any question about this policy, or any request about your information, can go to the address below and will be answered by a person.

What the site collects from you

There is no account to create and no login. The site itself keeps no database of visitors: what you type into a form is passed straight to the service that handles it, listed below.

The Multiplier sign-up

• We ask for your first name and email address.
• We email you a link to confirm the address is yours. Until you click it, you are not subscribed and we do not add you to any list. The link stops working after 48 hours.
• When you confirm, we add your name and address to our subscriber list, together with when you asked, when you confirmed, and that you signed up on this site, so we can show you agreed.
• We use your address only to send you The Multiplier, one email a week. Every issue has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.

The contact form

• We ask for your name, your email address, what your message is about, and the message.
• The form sends it as an email to our support inbox, and we reply from there. Sending a message does not sign you up to anything.

Analytics

Google Analytics 4 loads a Google script to measure page views and site use. The page you land on when you confirm your newsletter sign-up does not load analytics or advertising pixels.

What your browser stores

When analytics cookies are allowed, Google Analytics 4 uses _ga and _ga_<id> to distinguish visitors and keep session state. Their default expiry is two years, refreshed on visits; your browser may shorten this.

Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are asked first: analytics cookie storage stays off until Accept, though Google may receive cookieless pings while it is off. Elsewhere, analytics runs by default unless you have saved a Reject choice.

When advertising cookies are allowed, Meta uses _fbp (about 90 days); TikTok uses _ttp (about 13 months); LinkedIn uses li_fat_id (about 30 days) and bcookie (about 1 year); X uses _twclid (about 2 years) and muc_ads (about 2 years); Google Ads uses _gcl_au (about 90 days). These lifetimes are approximate, may be refreshed on visits, and may be shortened by your browser.

Advertising pixels may also use cookies and similar identifiers to recognize visits and measure ads. Google advertising consent defaults to denied in the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland based on Google's IP region detection, and granted elsewhere. All advertising pixels also use your browser's timezone: for EU/EEA, UK, Swiss and associated timezones on our consent list, or an unknown or ambiguous timezone (including UTC and GMT), they load only after Accept; elsewhere they load by default unless you have rejected or opted out. An advertising opt-out or Global Privacy Control signal overrides Accept for advertising.

• Your cookie choice is stored on your device in localStorage under codas_consent_v1.
• If you dismiss an announcement bar, your browser also stores its identifier under codas-wbar-dismissed so the same bar does not reappear.
• Use Change cookie choice to clear codas_consent_v1 and reload this page; where the banner appears, choose Reject to withdraw consent to analytics and advertising. Clearing your browser's site data resets your choices and restores the defaults described above.
• Your advertising opt-out is stored on this device in localStorage under codas_ads_optout_v1.

Other companies involved in serving this page

These providers receive information when your browser uses their services:

• Vercel hosts the site. Like any web host it keeps standard server logs, which record requests and the network addresses they came from, for operating and securing the service.
• Resend sends our emails: the confirmation link for the newsletter, and your contact message to our inbox. It keeps a record of the emails it sends for a limited period under its own retention policy.
• GoHighLevel holds our contact records and the record of your consent.
• TribeTale is our own newsletter platform. It holds The Multiplier subscriber list and sends The Multiplier.
• Google Fonts serves the typefaces on these policy pages (the homepage serves its own). Loading a font from Google means your browser makes a request to Google, so Google sees your network address as part of delivering it.
• Google LLC receives analytics data through Google Analytics 4, including page views and site-use information, or cookieless pings when analytics cookie storage is off.

Meta, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, and Google Ads receive information through advertising pixels when advertising is allowed. We use them to measure our ads and show our ads to people who visited this site (retargeting). This can include page visits, browser and device information, IP addresses, cookie identifiers, and successful sign-up or contact-form events. When you submit a form on our site and advertising cookies are allowed, Meta, Google and TikTok's tags may collect the email, phone number and name you entered, convert them to a hashed (scrambled) form in your browser, and send them to the platform to match your visit to an account and measure our ads. Our site does not send this form information to X or LinkedIn, and we keep matching features turned off in those platforms' settings. Opting out ("Do not sell or share"), Global Privacy Control (GPC), or Reject (EU/UK) prevents this collection and matching.

We do not sell personal information for money, but our use of advertising pixels may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising” under US state privacy laws.

Your choices

To opt out of sharing for targeted advertising, use the “Opt me out” button in the box above; the “Do not sell or share my personal information” link in every page footer brings you here. Visitors in the EU, UK and Switzerland change their cookie choice in the same box instead. It saves your advertising opt-out for this site and browser, denies Google's advertising consent signals, and reloads the page to stop pixels that were already loaded. A confirmation appears once after you opt out, and the box above shows your current choice. Opt out on each site and browser you use; a choice on codaslabs.com does not automatically apply to codasmedia.com.

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an advertising opt-out. This advertising opt-out does not turn off analytics; the cookie banner controls analytics separately.

In the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland, use the cookie banner's Accept or Reject buttons when shown; the banner uses your browser's timezone. Reject denies analytics and advertising, and an advertising opt-out or GPC remains in force even if you later choose Accept.

You can also adjust ad personalization in your Meta, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, and Google account settings. If JavaScript is unavailable, the footer link brings you here; enable GPC in a supported browser or contact us at the address above for help with your privacy choices.

If you write to us or subscribe

If you email us or use the contact form, about working together, about a role, or about anything else, we hold your address and whatever you chose to write.

• We use your address to send you the thing you asked for, and to reply to you.
• We do not sell it, rent it, or trade it.
• Every marketing email carries a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.
• You can ask us at any time to tell you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Write to the address above and we will do it.

How long we keep things

• Sign-ups you never confirm: we do not store them. The confirmation email itself stays in our email provider's records for its retention period.
• Subscribers: kept while you are subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we keep your address marked do-not-contact so we never email you again by mistake.
• Contact messages: kept in our support inbox while they are useful for answering you, and deleted on request.
• Deletion requests: write to us and we remove your name and everything else we hold, except your email address marked do-not-contact and the record of when you subscribed and unsubscribed. Keeping those is what stops us ever adding you again.
• Server logs: kept by our host on its own retention schedule for operating and securing the site.

Children

This site is intended for people running or working in a business. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Where your information is handled

We are based in the United States and our service providers process data there. If you write to us from outside the United States, you are sending your information to the United States.

Changes to this policy

If this changes, the effective date at the top of the page changes with it. We expect changes to follow a change in what the site does, not a change in what we want to do with your data.
