Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 12, 2026

Who we are

Common Readiness is the name of this website and newsletter. It is operated by CommonReadiness.com. The site is at commonreadiness.com. The newsletter lives at readyup.commonreadiness.com, and we send email from mail.commonreadiness.com.

Our mailing address is:

444 Alaska Ave, Suite #BKG542
Torrance, CA 90503
United States

If you have a question about this policy, or about your information, email hello@commonreadiness.com.

What this policy covers

This policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you:

• visit commonreadiness.com, including The Readiness Almanac and the Free Readiness Vault pages

• open the signup form on our site, or visit readyup.commonreadiness.com

• join the Common Readiness newsletter and receive the free 72-Hour Checklist

• email us

It does not cover websites we link to, or the independent privacy practices of the companies that host our site and email.

What we collect and why

Email address. This is the only field on our current signup forms. We use it to confirm your subscription, send the welcome email with the free 72-Hour Checklist PDF, send the newsletter, and respond if you write to us.

Subscription details. Beehiiv, our email platform, keeps a record of your subscription status (for example, pending confirmation, subscribed, or unsubscribed), when you joined, and tags such as the offer or page you signed up from. Those tags help us understand which signup paths people use. They are not a profile of your household or beliefs.

Name fields we are not currently collecting. Beehiiv has unused First Name and Last Name fields on the publication. Our live forms do not ask for them, and they are not required to subscribe.

Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive whatever you include in that message, along with your email address, so we can reply.

Technical information. Our hosts and the signup form may receive ordinary technical data needed to run the site and keep it secure. That can include your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you visit. We do not use this to build a personal marketing profile.

Email engagement. After you confirm your subscription, Beehiiv records whether our emails appear to have been opened and whether links in them were clicked. We use that information to understand what is useful and to keep the list in good shape. See “Open and click tracking” below.

Signup-dialog memory on our website. commonreadiness.com may store a small, first-party note in your browser (local storage) about the signup dialog, such as whether you have already dismissed it. That note is not your email address.

Referrals. We may offer a referral program so you can invite other people to the newsletter. If you take part, we may keep a record of the invitation and whether someone subscribed, so we can operate the program. Using a referral program is optional.

We do not ask for payment information, because we do not currently sell paid subscriptions or products. We do not run comments, surveys, or a public contact form on the site.

Email, double opt-in, and the checklist

Joining the newsletter is optional. When you enter your email, Beehiiv sends a confirmation message from mail.commonreadiness.com. The current subject line is “Confirm to get your 72-Hour Checklist.” You are not fully subscribed, and you do not receive the checklist, until you confirm.

After you confirm, a welcome automation sends the free 72-Hour Checklist PDF. You can also use the hosted signup page at readyup.commonreadiness.com/subscribe, which collects the same email address and uses the same confirmation step.

On our website, the signup form is a Beehiiv form that opens in a dialog. The form is loaded from Beehiiv (subscribe-forms.beehiiv.com). If the dialog does not load, we point you to the hosted signup page.

How to unsubscribe

Every newsletter we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can use that link at any time. You can also email hello@commonreadiness.com and ask us to remove you.

Unsubscribing stops future newsletter emails. See “How long we keep information” for what we retain after that, including a suppression record so we can honor your opt-out. If you want us to delete your information, ask us at the same address.

Who helps us provide the service

We use a short list of service providers to run the site and the newsletter. They process information on our behalf, or as part of the service they already provide:

• Framer hosts commonreadiness.com and provides built-in site analytics.

• Beehiiv runs the newsletter, signup forms, confirmation and welcome emails, the publication site at readyup.commonreadiness.com, subscriber login, and any referral, recommendation, or Boost features we use.

• Google Fonts (fonts.gstatic.com) delivers some of the typefaces used on the site and in some emails. When your browser loads a font, Google may receive your IP address and browser information.

Beehiiv’s own site also uses standard hosting and security tools. We observed Cloudflare (including a bot-management cookie on readyup.commonreadiness.com) and Beehiiv’s subscriber login, which is powered by Stytch. Those are part of Beehiiv’s platform, not extra tools we installed.

We have not connected Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, a Meta (Facebook) pixel, an X pixel, or a TikTok pixel. Beehiiv’s analytics-pixel settings for this publication are all off.

If we add a new provider that handles your personal information, we will update this policy.

For more detail about those companies’ own practices, see Framer’s privacy policy and Beehiiv’s privacy policy.

Cookies and analytics

commonreadiness.com (Framer). The public pages load Framer’s built-in analytics script (events.framer.com). Framer describes this as a privacy-first, cookieless measurement of site use, using short-lived, non-persistent identifiers rather than a cookie that follows you across days. Our first request to the homepage did not set any cookies. The site also loads fonts and page assets from Framer and Google Fonts.

When you open, hover on, or focus a signup button, the site may preload Beehiiv’s form script. If you open the dialog, Beehiiv’s form can load in the page and may use its own cookies or similar technology inside that form.

readyup.commonreadiness.com (Beehiiv). This publication site is hosted by Beehiiv and sits behind Cloudflare. A visit can set Cloudflare’s `__cf_bm` bot-management cookie. Beehiiv’s cookie banner is turned off, and no advertising pixels are configured. If you use Beehiiv’s one-time-password login, Beehiiv and its login provider may store cookies or similar data so you can stay signed in.

Emails. Links in our emails may be wrapped through Beehiiv’s branded link domain, elink239.mail.commonreadiness.com, and some messages include a small tracking link that helps Beehiiv measure delivery and opens.

Open and click tracking

Beehiiv’s open and click tracking is on for this publication. We can see, in aggregate and for a subscriber record, whether an email appears to have been opened and which links were clicked. Automatic UTM tagging is also on, so some links may carry campaign information.

We use this to improve the newsletter and to understand whether the welcome email and checklist link are working. We do not use it to score or rank you as a person.

Most email apps let you block remote images, which can limit open tracking. Click tracking still applies if you follow a wrapped link. You can unsubscribe at any time.

How long we keep information

We keep your information while you are subscribed.

If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your information, we delete it within a reasonable period, except for suppression records. We keep those records so we can honor your opt-out and avoid emailing you again by mistake.

Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your request, unless a law requires us to keep them longer.

Your choices and rights

You can:

• choose not to subscribe

• unsubscribe at any time

• ask us for a copy of the information we have about you

• ask us to correct it

• ask us to delete it, subject to the limits above

• ask us to limit how we use it, or object to a use, where the law gives you that right

If you live in a place with privacy laws such as the CCPA or GDPR, you can use these same requests. Email hello@commonreadiness.com. Please say what you would like us to do. We may need to confirm it is you before we make a change. We will not charge a fee for a request the law says you can make, and we will not treat you differently for asking.

If we cannot fulfill a request in full, we will say why.

Children

This site and newsletter are for a general adult audience. They are not directed at children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, email hello@commonreadiness.com and we will delete it.

We do not sell your personal data

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not rent the newsletter list.

We use service providers, including Framer and Beehiiv, to host the site, send email, and keep things secure.

Our newsletters may include sponsored content. That is advertising or underwriting in an email or on the site. It does not mean we sell your personal data to a sponsor.

If we use Beehiiv recommendations or Boosts, your information goes to another newsletter only when you choose to subscribe to it.

Changes

If we make a material change to this policy, we will update the effective date and post the new version on this page. If the change is significant, we will also try to say so by email or a notice on the site.
