Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2025
At The Pillar Assistant, we believe in transparency and trust. That means being upfront about how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. This policy outlines what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can stay in control.
Who We Are
The Pillar Assistant is an independent career strategy platform that helps job seekers navigate remote work with clarity and confidence.
Our website address is: https://thepillarassistant.com
What We Collect (and Why)
We collect basic information to help the site run smoothly, prevent spam, and better understand how visitors use our resources. Here’s what that can include:
Comments
If you leave a comment, we collect the data you enter (name, email, etc.), your IP address, and browser info to help with spam detection. If you use Gravatar, your profile picture may show up next to your comment. Gravatar’s privacy policy explains how that works.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience. These small files help:
- Remember your preferences (like login status)
- Pre-fill forms if you’ve commented before
- Track anonymous usage data (e.g., through Google Analytics)
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you’d prefer not to use them.
Embedded Content
Some pages may include embedded content (like YouTube videos or social media posts). These work just like visiting the original website — meaning those sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction.
Email + Analytics Tools
If you sign up for our newsletter, digital products, or community resources, we may collect your name and email to send you relevant updates. We do not sell your data.
We may also use tools like:
- Gumroad (to deliver paid resources)
- Google Analytics (to understand how visitors use our site)
These platforms may collect anonymized data based on their own policies.
Your Rights
You can request:
- A copy of the personal data we hold about you
- That we delete your information from our systems
Just reach out at hi@thepillarassistant.com, and we’ll take care of it.
How Long Do We Keep Data
If you leave a comment, we retain it and its metadata indefinitely so we can recognize follow-ups.
If you register or sign up for emails, we’ll keep your info until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Questions?
If you have any concerns or want to learn more, email us anytime at hi@thepillarassistant.com. We’re happy to help.
