Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 21, 2025

1) Who we are

Andrew Hawkes (aka “Doc Drew”) (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website https://deficoininvesting.com (the “Website”).
Contact: andrew@andrewhawkes.com

2) Scope

This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you use our Website and related services (the “Services”). We operate globally from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

3) Information we collect

  • You provide to us: subscriber details (e.g., name and email) when you sign up for updates, download content, or contact us.
  • Collected automatically: basic device/log info (IP address, browser, pages viewed, timestamps).
  • From service providers (when you use our forms or emails): GoHighLevel/LeadConnector and Google Analytics may receive limited information needed to provide their services.

4) How we use information

We use information to:

  • Provide and operate the Services (e.g., send newsletters, reply to enquiries)
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse
  • Analyze and improve the Website’s performance and content (via Google Analytics)
  • Comply with legal obligations

No financial advice: See Section 12 — we do not provide financial advice; any financial content is educational or entertainment only.

5) Cookies & analytics

We use Google Analytics for aggregate usage statistics (e.g., which pages are popular). We do not run paid ads or retargeting, and we do not use marketing cookies.

  • You can control cookies in your browser and opt out of Google Analytics with the official browser add-on.
  • In regions that require consent for analytics cookies (e.g., EEA/UK), we only rely on consent where applicable. We currently do not operate a cookie preference center.

6) Sharing your information

We share information only with:

  • Service providers/Processors:
    • Google Analytics (analytics/usage stats)
    • GoHighLevel / LeadConnector (site forms, CRM, email delivery)
  • Legal/safety: If required by law or to protect rights, property, and safety.
    We do not sell personal information and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising (as defined under California law).

7) International transfers

Our providers may process data in countries outside your own (including the United States). Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

8) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above and to comply with legal obligations. Because we do not run accounts or take payments, retention is limited mainly to subscriber/contact records and analytics data.

9) Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your information; object to or restrict processing; and withdraw consent.

  • How to exercise: email us at [add privacy email].
  • Marketing emails: you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails.
  • Do Not Track / GPC: We honor applicable opt-out signals where required by law.

Region notes (if applicable to you):

  • EEA/UK (GDPR): Lawful bases include Legitimate Interests (site operation & security), and Consent (non-essential analytics in consent jurisdictions). You can contact your local supervisory authority.
  • California (CPRA): You have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt-out of “sale/share” (we do not sell or share). We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond limited, lawful purposes.
  • Australia: We aim to handle personal information per the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

10) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the data (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls). No method is 100% secure.

11) Children

The Services are intended for adults (18+) only. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us to delete it.

12) Financial information disclaimer (important)

We are not financial advisors. All financial or market content on this Website is provided for educational or entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. You should not make financial decisions based solely on the information here. Always do your own research and consider consulting a licensed professional who can consider your individual circumstances. No client-advisor relationship is formed by using the Website or contacting us.

13) Third-party links & services

Our Website may link to third-party sites or embed services (e.g., video players). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

14) Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version with a new effective date and, where required, provide additional notice.
