Privacy policy

Plain language, no dark patterns. This covers the whole site, every form on it, our analytics, and the advertising we run on Meta platforms.

Last updated August 27, 2026.

Who we are

advisor.TV is a business publication produced by Idea2Result in Jacksonville, Florida. This notice explains what we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and how you can ask us to delete it.

Controller for the purposes of this notice: Idea2Result, operating advisor.TV. Contact: adam@advisor.tv.

What we collect

Information you give us. When you fill in a form on this site, to nominate someone, apply to host, ask about sponsorship, confirm a JaxList entry, book the studio, or subscribe to The Record, we collect the fields in that form. That is typically your name, email address, company, role, phone number when you choose to give it, and anything you write in a message field. Where a form offers a newsletter opt in, we also store whether you ticked it and which form it came from.

Information collected automatically. When you visit, we and our analytics and advertising providers may receive your IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and browser type, operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the time and length of your visit.

Account information. If you sign in to an admin or host area, we store your email address and the authentication records needed to keep you signed in.

We do not ask for and do not want sensitive categories of data such as health, financial account, biometric, precise geolocation, or government identifier data. Please do not send them to us.

Why we use it

To reply to you and to run the editorial process behind a nomination, a host application, a sponsorship enquiry, a JaxList confirmation, or a studio booking. To send The Record when you asked for it. To measure which pages and shows people watch so we can improve them. To measure and improve advertising, including advertising run on Meta platforms. To keep the site secure and to meet legal and record keeping obligations.

Legal bases where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies: consent for analytics and advertising cookies and for marketing email, contract or steps before a contract for bookings and enquiries, and legitimate interests for security, fraud prevention, and basic operation of the site.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small number of cookies and similar storage technologies. Strictly necessary ones keep the site working and keep you signed in. Analytics ones help us count visits and understand which pages are read. Advertising ones help us measure and target campaigns.

You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break sign in and forms. Where required by law, analytics and advertising technologies load only after you consent, and you can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us or clearing cookies for this site.

Meta advertising, the Meta pixel and the Conversions API

We advertise on Meta platforms, which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads and the Meta Audience Network. To measure whether those adverts work, we may use the Meta pixel on this site, the Meta Conversions API server side, and Meta custom and lookalike audiences.

When these tools are active, Meta may receive event data about your visit. That can include the page URL, the event that occurred such as a page view, a lead form submission, or a newsletter signup, your IP address, browser user agent, the Meta browser identifiers fbp and fbc, and, only where you submitted it to us and the Conversions API is in use, contact information such as an email address that is hashed with SHA 256 before it leaves our systems. We do not send Meta the free text content of your message, and we do not send Meta special category data.

We use this data to attribute conversions, to build custom audiences of people who visited particular pages, to build lookalike audiences from those, and to suppress adverts from people who already converted. In relation to this activity Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and Meta Platforms, Inc. act as our processor for the Conversions API and as an independent or joint controller for their own advertising, measurement and platform improvement purposes under their own terms.

Where the GDPR or the ePrivacy rules apply, the pixel and Conversions API run only with your consent, and consent is passed through to Meta. Under United States state privacy laws, sharing data with Meta for cross context behavioural advertising may be treated as a sale or sharing of personal information. You can opt out at any time by emailing us, and we honour Global Privacy Control signals sent by your browser.

You can also control this on Meta's side in Meta Accounts Center under Ad preferences and Your activity off Meta technologies, which lets you disconnect or clear the activity that businesses like us send to Meta. Meta's own handling of the data is described in Meta's Privacy Policy at facebook.com/privacy/policy.

We do not run adverts that target people under 18 with tracking based audiences, we do not use Meta tools on pages intended for children, and we do not upload customer lists to Meta that contain people who have asked us not to.

Other services we use

Google Analytics 4 for audience measurement. IP addresses are handled by Google and advertising personalisation signals are switched off in our configuration. YouTube and Vimeo for video. Video is loaded only after you click play, so the player sets its cookies at that point and not before. Our hosting, database, authentication and email delivery providers process data on our instructions to run the site and send the messages you asked for. Form and calendar providers process booking and enquiry details for the same reason.

These providers act as processors or service providers under contract, except Google and Meta, which also act for their own purposes as described in their policies.

Who we share it with

We share personal information with the providers described above, with professional advisers where necessary, and where the law requires it or to protect our rights. We do not sell your personal information for money. Some advertising activity described in the Meta section may count as sharing or a sale under United States state laws, and you can opt out of it.

Sponsors do not receive your personal information. Sponsorship funds production and does not buy access to our audience data or to editorial decisions.

Editorial content and people we cover

advisor.TV publishes journalism. Business information about companies and named representatives, such as a company name, an industry, a headcount band, or a recorded conversation, is published as editorial and is not treated as marketing data. If you appear in our coverage and want an entry corrected or removed, write to us and we act within one business day for list entries. Requests to erase personal data do not always extend to published journalism, where we may rely on the journalism exemption or the equivalent protection in your jurisdiction.

How long we keep it

Enquiry and application records are kept for up to three years after the last contact. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe, plus a suppression record so we do not email you again. Analytics data is retained for 14 months. Advertising event data is retained by Meta and Google under their own schedules. Records we must keep for tax or legal reasons are kept for as long as the law requires.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, port it to another provider, withdraw consent, opt out of targeted advertising, sale or sharing, and appeal a decision we make on a request. We do not use your data for automated decisions with legal effects, and we do not discriminate against you for exercising a right.

To exercise any of these, email adam@advisor.tv with the word privacy in the subject line. We verify requests by replying to the email address on file and respond within 30 days, or 45 days where United States state law allows an extension. An authorised agent may submit a request with written permission.

If you are in the UK or the EEA you can complain to your supervisory authority. If you are in California you may contact the California Privacy Protection Agency.

Email and The Record

Newsletter opt in is unticked by default on every form and is never a condition of anything else. Every issue carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately. We may record whether an email was delivered and opened so we can measure whether the briefing is read.

International transfers

We operate from the United States and our providers may process data there and elsewhere. Where data moves out of the UK or the EEA, transfers rely on the European Commission standard contractual clauses, the UK addendum, or the EU US and UK US Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified.

Children

This site is for business audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13, and we do not sell or share the personal information of anyone we know to be under 16. If you believe a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.

Security and changes

We use encryption in transit, access controls, and row level permissions on our database. No system is perfect, so please do not send confidential deal information through a web form. If we make a material change to this notice we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, tell subscribers by email.
