Privacy Policy
At Winksman, I Take Your Privacy Seriously
I’ve implemented extra measures to protect your personal data and ensure you have control over what you share with me. Unlike many websites, I use the privacy-friendly good stuff:
- Cloudflare for analytics, anti-spam, and DNS.
- ProtonMail for email and contact form.
- Only locally hosted fonts
- No third-party cookies
- Your data is never shared with third parties for marketing or tracking purposes.
If you appreciate me taking the extra steps to ensure privacy, please thank me by sharing Winksman with those who’d benefit! If you have any feedback on how I can improve, contact me.

Third-Party Services
We use trusted services to manage bookings and payments:
- Cal.com for scheduling coaching sessions.
- Stripe for secure payments. These services may collect some data automatically for their own operational purposes, but they adhere to stringent privacy standards.
Data Sharing
We do not share your data with third parties unless legally required or in circumstances where there is a clear threat to personal safety (e.g., harm to oneself or others, or involvement in illegal activities).
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request deletion of your personal data. We will do our best to completely erase your information, though some residual data may be overlooked unintentionally.
- Unsubscribe from email communications at any time.
- Access or update your personal information.
Minors
Our services are intended for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from minors.
Charitable Donations
We are committed to giving back to the community. As part of this commitment, 10% of whatever a client spends is donated to Educate Girls, an effective and trusted charity that locates and enrolls out-of-school girls. For your assurance that a donation has been made, your email will be entered into the charity’s donation form so that you can receive a customized receipt as proof. You will not be subscribed to their mailing list in this process. Clients who prefer their email not be entered for this receipt may notify us prior to paying.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If changes are made, we will notify you via our website. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
Compliance and Jurisdiction
As an Australian-based company operating on a US server and catering to international clients, we aim to comply with data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), wherever applicable. For specific legal concerns, feel free to contact us.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Limitation of Liability
As a coaching service helping men improve their dating confidence, we emphasize that our advice does not condone any inappropriate behavior or illegal activities. We are not liable for how clients use the information provided, and this is covered more comprehensively in our Terms of Use.
