When you request a guide

WhatWins stores the email address you enter, the guide requested, request dates, and whether you asked for marketing updates. We use these details to manage guide requests, email you the requested file through Resend when delivery is available, and respect your communication preferences. Requesting a file does not subscribe you to marketing emails. We do not store your IP address in the lead database.

Marketing is optional

You can download the guide without choosing marketing emails. An unchecked box does not subscribe you. Selecting updates records your request to hear from WhatWins about advertising, AI creative workflows and AdRails. Email ownership must be confirmed before your address is used for newsletter editions. Every edition includes an unsubscribe link.

Newsletter delivery

The newsletter form records a separate, explicit request to receive the WhatWins brief. When delivery is configured, signup sends a confirmation email through Resend. Opening the link alone does not subscribe you: confirm on the page to finish. Until the sender is connected, the form explicitly saves a launch-list request without sending email. Only confirmed, opted-in addresses are eligible for editions. Bounces and spam complaints stop future delivery.

Tools and saved scenarios

Calculator inputs are processed in your browser. Choosing Save scenario stores that scenario locally on this device. WhatWins does not receive those inputs. You can remove saved scenarios by clearing site data in your browser.

Embedded posts and videos

External X, YouTube and Reddit embeds load only after you choose to load them. This connects your browser to that provider, which may receive your IP address and browser information or use cookies under its own privacy policy. You can read the surrounding article without loading an embed.

Storage and access

Lead records are held in a dedicated database on WhatWins hosting infrastructure. They are not publicly accessible and are not shared with AdRails when you download a guide. Operational server logs may include technical request information needed to run the site.

External links

Following an AdRails link takes you to a separate website with its own privacy practices. Commercial links may contain referral information identifying WhatWins. We do not put your email address into these links. WhatWins counts outbound AdRails clicks by day and referring page without a visitor ID or tracking cookie. These counts do not identify unique people or confirm AdRails signups.

Your choices

To request access, correction or removal of your lead record, or withdraw an updates request, contact [email protected]. We may ask you to confirm control of the address before acting on a request.
