Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 31, 2026
Self Storage 101 (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through selfstorage101.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. By using this website you agree to the practices described here.
Information you give us
We only collect personal information that you choose to send us. That happens in a few places:
- Consultation and contact requests. When you fill out a form on this site, we collect the details you enter, typically your name, email address, phone number, and a description of your project or question.
- Newsletter signup. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
- Training material orders. Orders for training manuals, workbooks, and related materials are handled manually. If you contact us to place an order, we collect the information needed to fulfill and invoice it.
- Direct contact. If you call or email us, we keep a record of that correspondence.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect limited technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and provide the consulting, audit, feasibility, training, or management services you ask about
- To fulfill orders for training materials
- To send you our newsletter and industry updates, if you subscribed
- To understand how the site is used so we can improve it
- To measure the performance of our advertising
- To meet legal, accounting, and tax obligations
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
Service providers we use
We rely on a small number of established third-party services to run this site and our communications. Each processes data under its own privacy policy:
- HubSpot hosts and processes our contact and consultation forms.
- Mailchimp manages our newsletter list and sends our emails.
- Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Ads provide website analytics and advertising measurement.
- Microsoft Clarity records anonymised session activity, such as clicks, scrolls, and mouse movement, so we can understand how visitors use the site and improve it.
- Our web host stores the site and its data, and maintains security and backup logs.
We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to a valid legal request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
Cookies and tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site working properly, to measure traffic through Google Analytics, to measure advertising performance through Google Ads, and to understand how visitors interact with our pages through Microsoft Clarity, which records session activity such as clicks and scrolling. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do. You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically using Google’s browser opt-out add-on.
How long we keep your information
We keep inquiry and client records for as long as needed to provide our services and to satisfy legal, accounting, and tax requirements. Newsletter subscribers stay on our list until they unsubscribe. You can ask us to delete your information at any time using the contact details below.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe. Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. It takes effect immediately.
- Access, correction, and deletion. You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it.
- Marketing. You can ask us to stop contacting you for marketing purposes at any time.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Data security
This site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we use reputable providers with their own security controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information you give us.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Our site links to other websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Review their policies before providing them information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be posted here.
