Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Ilias Ism ("I", "me", "my") operates https://il.ly (the "Site"). This page explains what data the Site collects, how I use it, and how you can reach me about it.

Information You Provide

When you subscribe to the newsletter or request a checklist on /growth, I collect your email address and any optional details you submit so I can send the requested material and future issues. Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.

Analytics and Technical Logs

The Site uses privacy-focused web analytics (Minilytics, Plausible, and PostHog) and standard server logs to understand which pages people read, measure scroll depth and outbound clicks, and keep the Site secure. Logged technical fields may include page URL, HTTP referrer, browser and device type, approximate country, and IP address for abuse prevention.

Browser-based tools under /tools parse uploaded CSV and JSON files locally in your browser unless a tool explicitly states otherwise.

Cookies and Local Storage

The Site may set first-party cookies or local storage entries for anonymous session measurement and UI preferences. You can block or clear cookies at any time in your browser settings.

How Data Is Used and Shared

I use collected data only to run, secure, and improve the Site and deliver emails you asked for. I do not sell or rent your personal information. Email delivery and hosting rely on trusted infrastructure providers bound to process data only on my instructions.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Newsletter contact records are kept until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete them. Server security logs are retained for up to 30 days. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing me@il.ly.

External and Affiliate Links

Articles on the Site link to external products and websites, including software I own and third-party affiliate partners. Once you leave il.ly, the destination site's own privacy policy and terms govern your visit. See Terms of Use for full disclosure details.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for general and professional audiences and is not directed at children under 16. Some software review articles cover adult-oriented AI tools and are strictly for adults aged 18 and older. I do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

Changes to This Policy

When this Privacy Policy changes, I will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after an update means the revised policy applies.

Contact

Questions or deletion requests: email Ilias Ism at me@il.ly.
