This Privacy Policy describes how FUNBIRD LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operating TechICSavvy at techicsavvy.com collects, uses, and protects your personal information. This policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable global privacy laws.
1. Who We Are
FUNBIRD LLC is a single-member LLC registered in New Jersey, USA. We operate TechICSavvy — a cybersecurity education, content creation, and digital products platform.

- When you book a free call via our Calendly embed
- When you submit a contact form

4. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
- To deliver digital products and free resources you have requested
- To send our weekly Blue Team Tips newsletter (only with your consent)
- To process and fulfill purchases made through our shop
- To respond to your inquiries and booking requests
- To improve our website, content, and services
- To fund this website through advertising, as described in Section 7
- To comply with legal obligations
Information you give us directly is never sold. We do not sell, rent, or disclose the personal information you provide to us — your name, email address, purchase history, newsletter subscription, or form submissions — to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Advertising is treated separately and disclosed openly. This website displays third-party advertising. Our advertising partners independently collect online identifiers and browsing activity through cookies and similar technologies in order to show interest-based advertisements. Under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA and comparable US state laws, that activity may be classified as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, even though no money is exchanged for your data and we never hand over the contact or purchase details described above. Section 10 explains how to opt out.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using your personal information is:
- Consent — for newsletter subscriptions, marketing emails, and personalized advertising
- Contract — to fulfill digital product purchases
- Legitimate interests — to improve our website and services
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws
Personalized advertising is served to EEA and UK visitors only where consent has been given through the cookie notice shown on your first visit. You may withdraw that consent at any time through the same notice.
6. Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (login, cart, security)
- Analytics cookies: To understand how visitors use our site
- Performance cookies: To improve page load speed (LiteSpeed Cache)
- Advertising cookies: Set by WordAds and its demand partners to select advertisements, limit how often the same advertisement is repeated, measure advertisement performance, and — where permitted — personalize advertisements based on your browsing activity across websites
- Third-party cookies: From services such as Google reCAPTCHA, Calendly, and Google Workspace
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. Advertising cookies can additionally be controlled through the opt-out routes described in Section 10.
7. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may process your data:
- WordAds / Automattic Inc. — third-party advertising, together with its demand partners, advertising exchanges, and measurement providers
- Google Workspace / Post SMTP — email delivery
- Calendly — call booking
- WooCommerce / WooPayments — payment processing
- Google reCAPTCHA — spam protection
- Amazon Associates / TikTok Shop — affiliate links (their privacy policies apply)
- Fluent Forms — form data collection
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing their use of your data. Full advertising terms are set out in Section 7 of our Legal page.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary:
- Newsletter subscribers: Until you unsubscribe
- Purchase records: 7 years (US tax and legal requirements)
- Contact form submissions: 12 months
- Analytics data: 26 months
- Advertising identifiers: retained by our advertising partners under their own retention schedules
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correction — request we correct inaccurate data
- Deletion — request we delete your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Objection — object to how we use your data
- Portability — request your data in a portable format
- Opt out of advertising — opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for interest-based advertising
- Withdraw consent — unsubscribe or withdraw consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email us at funbird@funbird.net. We will respond within 30 days.
10. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA) and Other US State Privacy Laws
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and not to be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
We do not sell the personal information you provide to us directly — your name, email address, purchase history, or form submissions — and we have not done so in the preceding twelve months.
However, this website displays interest-based advertising. The disclosure of online identifiers, cookie IDs, and browsing activity to our advertising partners for that purpose may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA. We disclose this rather than rely on a narrow reading of the term.
To opt out, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link displayed on this website, or email funbird@funbird.net. You may also use the industry opt-out tools listed in Section 7 of our Legal page.
Residents of other US states with comparable privacy laws — including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Montana — hold similar rights to opt out of targeted advertising and may use the same link or email address.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not knowingly permit interest-based advertising to be targeted to them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.
12. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and secure email delivery via Google Workspace and Post SMTP.
13. International Transfers
Your data may be processed in the United States. If you are located outside the US, by using our website you consent to the transfer of your data to the US, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify subscribers of significant changes via email. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
