Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Joe Templin (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit joetemplin.com (the “Site”), sign up for a membership, or otherwise interact with us. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly. We collect the information you choose to give us, including when you:

Fill out a contact or inquiry form (for example, your name, email address, and message);
Create an account or purchase a membership to The Intro Machine (name, email address, username, password, and mailing/billing details);
Subscribe to our newsletter or training emails;
Register for a coaching call, workshop, or speaking engagement; or
Communicate with us by email or otherwise.

Payment information. Paid memberships are processed through a third-party, PCI-compliant payment processor. Your full payment card details are entered on and handled by that processor — we do not collect or store complete card numbers on our own servers. We may retain limited billing records (such as the last four digits of a card, transaction dates, and amounts) to manage your subscription.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring pages, and general usage data. Where analytics or marketing technologies are used, they are activated only after you provide consent (see “Cookies and Consent” below).

Cookies and Consent

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality and, with your consent, for analytics and marketing. When you first visit the Site, a consent banner appears. No analytics or marketing cookies or trackers are loaded until you click “Accept.” Until then, non-essential tracking (including Google Analytics and any advertising or marketing pixels) remains disabled by default, consistent with Google Consent Mode v2.

Essential cookies are necessary for the Site and your account to function (for example, keeping you logged in). These are always active.
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
Marketing cookies may be used to measure and improve the relevance of our advertising.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this Site, or by adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies. Doing so may affect how some features work.

How We Use Your Information

To provide, operate, and maintain the Site and your membership;
To process payments and manage subscriptions;
To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support;
To send training content, newsletters, and service-related communications;
To understand and improve the Site through analytics (with your consent);
To protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats; and
To comply with legal obligations.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site and our business, and only to the extent necessary to perform their services. These may include:

Our website hosting provider;
Our membership and account platform;
Our payment processor;
Our email delivery service;
Analytics providers such as Google Analytics (only after you consent); and
Marketing or advertising platforms (only after you consent).

We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of marketing communications. You can:

Update your account details by logging in to your account;
Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any such email; and
Request access to or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at the address below.

We will respond to verified requests as required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links and Content

The Site may contain links to, or embedded content from, other websites (such as podcast players, videos, or social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for professionals and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.

International Visitors

We are based in the United States, and your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to locations with data-protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes may be communicated through the Site or by email. Your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
