Privacy policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

This policy covers www.themrcountry.com, the emails sent from mail.themrcountry.com, and the products sold on the site. The site is run by @the_mr_country.

What is collected

• Your email address, when you sign up on the site. The signup record also keeps the time you gave consent, your IP address and the consent line shown on the form when you signed up.
• Your email address, when you ask for the journal in an Instagram or Facebook message. ManyChat passes it to the site.
• What happens to the emails sent to you: whether each one was delivered, opened or clicked, and whether it bounced or was marked as spam.
• Order details when you buy, such as your name, email address and what you bought. Card details go straight to Stripe. The site never sees or stores them.
• What the Meta pixel sends to Meta while you use the site: the page you were on, the events listed under "Cookies and tracking", the name of the product when you start a checkout, the amount paid and the currency when you buy, a cookie identifier, your IP address, and the browser and device details your browser sends.
• What the site's own server sends to Meta when you sign up or buy: your email address hashed with SHA-256, the values of Meta's _fbp and _fbc cookies, your IP address, your browser user agent and the page the event came from. A purchase also sends the order amount, the currency and a hashed version of your contact id in the site's database.

Why it is collected

• To send the free journal or product you asked for.
• To send emails you signed up for.
• To keep a record of your consent.
• To keep bots off the signup form.
• To process payments and deliver what you bought.
• To create personal download links and send a new one when an old link expires.
• To see which emails get opened and clicked, and to stop sending to addresses that bounce or complain.
• To measure how ads perform and to build audiences for ads.

Your data is not sold. Some of it goes to Meta for advertising, as set out under "Cookies and tracking".

Which services process it

• Cloudflare runs the site on a Cloudflare Worker and stores signups in a Cloudflare D1 database. Cloudflare Turnstile checks signups for bots.
• Resend sends the emails from mail.themrcountry.com. It reports deliveries, opens, clicks, bounces and complaints.
• Stripe runs checkout through Stripe Checkout and processes card details under its own policy. Clicking a Buy link also passes your _fbp and _fbc cookie values, your IP address and your browser user agent to Stripe, which stores them with the checkout session so the purchase event can be sent to Meta after payment.
• ManyChat handles requests for the journal in Instagram and Facebook messages and passes on the email address you share.
• Meta (Instagram and Facebook) runs the apps where those messages happen, and the Meta pixel on this site sends Meta the page views and events described under "Cookies and tracking". The site's server sends Meta two of those events a second way, through the Meta Conversions API, also described under "Cookies and tracking". Meta's data use for the pixel is set to advertising and analytics, and Meta handles everything it receives under its own privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
• Systeme.io still holds the email list while it moves to the services above. It will be removed once the move is complete.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy, and some may store data outside your country.

Cookies and tracking

The site runs the Meta pixel, id 3137362159806835, on every page. It loads Meta's script fbevents.js from connect.facebook.net and sets a cookie in your browser on themrcountry.com. It records a page view on every page, a lead when you reach the thank-you page after signing up for the journal, a checkout start when you click a Buy link, which sends the name of the product with it, and a purchase on the order confirmed page, which sends the amount paid and the currency with it. With JavaScript switched off, a 1x1 image at facebook.com/tr sends the page view instead. Meta receives the page you were on, those events, the cookie identifier, your IP address and the browser and device details your browser sends. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram, Meta can connect the visit to your Meta account.

The site also sends Meta two events from its own server, through the Meta Conversions API: a lead when you sign up for the free journal, and a purchase when a Stripe payment completes. The purchase carries the order amount and the currency. Each event sends your email address hashed with SHA-256, the values of Meta's own _fbp and _fbc cookies that the pixel set in your browser, your IP address, your browser user agent and the page the event came from. The purchase also sends a hashed version of your contact id in the site's database, and its details are passed through Stripe with the checkout session, because the payment is confirmed when you are no longer in the browser. Meta can match a hash to an account it already has. These events never send your plain email address. This is a second path for the same data, for the same purpose as the pixel: measuring how ads perform and matching conversions to ads. Each server event carries an event id that matches the browser pixel event, so Meta counts the two as one.

Visits are also counted without cookies: the page viewed, the site that linked to it, the country and the device type. Your IP address and browser details are not stored for that count. They are turned into a short scrambled code that changes every day, used only to tell repeat visits apart, and it is not used to work out who you are. Emails contain tracking that shows whether an email was opened and which links were clicked. Stripe's checkout page is run by Stripe and covered by Stripe's own policy.

Browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. That signal is not acted on, and the pixel runs whether or not it is sent.

Opting out of ad tracking

Blocking or clearing cookies in your browser settings stops the pixel cookie. It stops nothing else: the pixel still loads, and Meta still receives the page, the events, your IP address and your browser details. Switching JavaScript off has the same limit, because the 1x1 image still reports the page view. A browser setting or an extension that blocks trackers is what stops the pixel loading at all. None of that stops the server events: they are sent from the site's server when you sign up or buy, whether or not the pixel loads in your browser. The control you have left is Meta's ad settings, which cover what Meta does with data it already has, at https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences. You can also email hello@themrcountry.com and ask to be kept out of ad audiences. That request is handled by hand, and it applies to events sent after it is received. For data already sent to Meta: it can't be pulled back from this side, but your request will be passed on to Meta, and Meta's own policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy explains what Meta keeps and how to ask Meta directly.

California residents

California residents can ask what personal information is held about them and ask for it to be deleted, by emailing hello@themrcountry.com. Personal information is not sold. It is shared for cross-context behavioral advertising: the Meta pixel sends page views, signups and purchases to Meta, and the site's server sends signups and purchases to Meta through the Conversions API, which are used to measure ads and to build audiences for ads. The browser steps above stop the pixel but not the server events. To stop the sharing, email hello@themrcountry.com and ask to be kept out of ad audiences. That request is handled by hand, and it applies to events sent after it is received. What happens to data already sent to Meta is covered under "Opting out of ad tracking".

How long it is kept

Your data is kept until you ask for it to be deleted. Unsubscribing stops the emails you signed up for, and the address stays on a do-not-email list so they are not sent again by mistake. A deletion request is completed within 30 days. Purchase records are the exception: tax law requires keeping them for 7 years.

Unsubscribe, access and deletion

Emails you signed up for have an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Using it takes you off the list. Emails that are part of something you bought, such as the daily emails in a course, carry their own unsubscribe link that stops only those. A one-off email like a download link has no unsubscribe link, because it is sent to complete an order.

To see the data held about you, fix it or have it deleted, email hello@themrcountry.com from the address you signed up with.

Age

This site and its products are for people 18 and older. If someone under 18 has signed up, their data will be deleted. To report this, email hello@themrcountry.com.

Changes to this policy

This policy may change. The date at the top shows the latest version. Big changes may also be announced by email to the list.
