Privacy Policy

Optimal Alchemy LLC (referred to in this policy as “Optimal Alchemy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at www.acceleratementorship.com and the brand Accelerate Mentorship (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it.

This policy applies to information collected through the Site, our application forms, our transactional emails, our paid programs delivered through Whop, and our community spaces on Discord. It does not cover third-party platforms we link to (such as Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube), each of which has its own privacy policy.

If you have any questions about this policy or want to exercise a right described below, contact us at hello@acceleratementorship.com.

1. Who we are

The data controller (under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation) and business (under California law) responsible for your information is:

Optimal Alchemy LLC
United States (online-only operations)
hello@acceleratementorship.com

A registered business mailing address is available on request to verified parties.

2. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of personal information.

Information you give us directly. When you opt in for the free playbook, we collect your name and email address. When you submit an application for a paid program, we collect your name, email, phone number, sales experience, current income range, income goals, weekly time commitment, investment range, the obstacle you describe, and your tier preference. When you join a paid tier through Whop, Whop collects payment information and shares limited account information with us so we can deliver the program.

Information we collect automatically. When you visit the Site we automatically receive certain information from your browser and device, including IP address, user agent, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location at the city or region level, and timestamps. We use this information through Vercel Analytics (which is cookieless and does not identify individuals) and Vercel Speed Insights (which measures page performance).

Information collected through advertising and tracking technologies. If you have given consent (or, in the United States, if you have not opted out of cross-context behavioral advertising), we use the Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram) and the TikTok Pixel to measure ad performance and to build audiences for retargeting. These technologies use cookies, pixel tags, and device identifiers, and they share information with Meta Platforms, Inc. and TikTok Inc. for their own advertising purposes. See Section 6 (Cookies and tracking) and Section 9 (Your privacy choices).

Communications. If you email us, message us through ManyChat, or contact us through our forms, we keep a record of that conversation.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information for the following purposes.

• To deliver the free playbook and to send the welcome email through Resend.
• To evaluate your application for a paid program and to contact you about it by email and, if you have given SMS consent, by text message.
• To deliver the paid program you purchased, including granting access to Whop, Discord, recorded sessions, and live sessions.
• To send transactional and program-related communications (account updates, schedule changes, expiration notices, refund handling).
• To send marketing emails about other Accelerate programs, with an unsubscribe link in every message.
• To run, secure, and improve the Site.
• To measure and improve the performance of our advertising on Meta and TikTok.
• To prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with applicable law.
• To respond to legal process or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

4. Legal bases (for visitors in the EU, UK, and Switzerland)

Where the General Data Protection Regulation or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases under Article 6.

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for marketing emails, SMS, and non-essential cookies and pixels.
• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) to deliver products you have purchased.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) to operate the Site, prevent fraud, secure systems, and respond to inquiries. Our assessment is available on request.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) for tax, accounting, and lawful requests from authorities.

5. Who we share information with

We share personal information with the following categories of recipients, each acting as our processor or as an independent controller as noted.

• Vercel, Inc. (hosting, Vercel Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights). Processor. United States.
• Resend. (transactional and marketing email delivery). Processor. United States.
• Whop, Inc. (merchant of record for paid products, community gating, billing, refunds). Independent controller for payment processing; processor for community access. United States.

• ManyChat, Inc. (Instagram and Facebook DM autoresponder). Processor.
• Meta Platforms, Inc. (advertising, Meta Pixel and Conversions API). Independent controller for advertising profiles; joint controller with us for the Pixel where applicable.

We do not “sell” personal information for money.

You can opt out at any time. See Section 9.

6. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.

• Strictly necessary. Required for the Site to function (security, fraud prevention, load balancing). These cannot be turned off.
• Performance and analytics. Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights. Cookieless and aggregated. Used to count visits, measure speed, and improve the Site.

These set first-party and third-party cookies, read device identifiers, and transmit page-view and conversion events to the platforms named above. We load these only after consent in jurisdictions that require prior consent (the European Union, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Switzerland), and we honor opt-out preference signals (such as Global Privacy Control) and any state-specific opt-outs in the United States.

You can manage cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner footer link labeled “Cookie preferences.” You can also disable cookies through your browser. Disabling cookies may impair the Site.
